Ok Changed the Code to the following (Alot cleaner now ): No errors, but still only the part thats codded to change to a button press responds.

Have Coloured the lines in Red that activate the controls that are made visible/hidden depending on the timecheck. This one Pageobsperiscope_ObsGraticule.Visible = GetCurrentGameDateTime() needs to update itself without user action (Timer can be every minute - doesn't need to be every second would that be RefreshTimerDuration = 60.0)

The other instance works on a button press: Timecheck = GetCurrentGameDateTime()
if Timecheck == True:
Pageobsperiscope_RAOBFGraticuleBkg.Visible = RAOBFShown
Pageobsperiscope_RAOBFGraticule.Visible = RAOBFShown
and this works perfectly but only if the user presses the button.

How can I set an action to initiate a function once the timer is reached
e.g call the GetCurrentGameDateTime() every minute while Page is open.

#Page obs periscope.py
 
# Globals
AttackDiscShown = True
RAOBFShown = True
 
TimerID_CheckTime = 299000001
RefreshTimerDuration = 1.0

 Pageobsperiscope_AttackDiscToggle.Visible = True
 Pageobsperiscope_AttackDiscToggle.Clicked += AttackDiscToggle
 Pageobsperiscope_ObsGraticule.Visible = GetCurrentGameDateTime()
 
 RAOBFToggle( None ) 
 AttackDiscToggle( None )
 LockToggle( None )
 
 
def Menu_PageActivated( page ):
if page == Pageobsperiscope:
 Pageobsperiscope.AnimationStopped += Pageobsperiscope_AnimationStopped
 Pageobsperiscope.StopAnimationsOfType( MenuItemWrapper.AnimationTypes.Timer )
 Pageobsperiscope.StartAnimation( MenuItemWrapper.AnimationTypes.Timer, 1, RefreshTimerDuration ).ID = TimerID_CheckTime
 Pageobsperiscope_ObsGraticule.Visible = GetCurrentGameDateTime()

 
def Pageobsperiscope_AnimationStopped( Animation ):

 Pageobsperiscope.StartAnimation( MenuItemWrapper.AnimationTypes.Timer, 1, RefreshTimerDuration ).ID = TimerID_CheckTime

 Pageobsperiscope_RAOBFGraticule.Visible = RAOBFShown

Pageobsperiscope_LockToggle.Clicked -= LockToggle
Pageobsperiscope_RAOBFToggle.Clicked -= RAOBFToggle

pass

Thanks for all your help DW, hope all my questions on scripting aren't taking you away from your own work. But its great that we have Code Geniuses to help us noobes .
