Adjusting frequency of actions

[DennisTsiang]

Hi there, your project seem very useful to me. I was wondering if there is an option to adjust the frequency of the actions via a command line parameter? Looking at ConfigurationBuilder.kt I can see deviceOperationDelay but I am unsure if this is what I am looking for.

If such an option does not exist, could you point me to where in the codebase I could make this extension?

Hi,

Could you elaborate on what you mean by frequency of the actions?

Do you want to introduce a fixed delay between the actions or do you want to have the actions triggered at specific times?

[DennisTsiang]

Yes, I meant a fixed delay between the actions. For example, 2 seconds between each button press

[natanieljr]

Right,

So, the actions have the possibility of a fixed delay, which we are now using as 0 by default.

I could have a look on this problem next week or if you want to give it a try, you could add a delay parameter to this availableActions function and have it also as a parameter on the RandomWidget class, with a default value of 0 not to affect any running item.

Thanks, I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look at it. Probably will be quicker than me trying to implement it myself.

In the meantime though, I will try out your suggestions and see if I can get it working.

Update pushed to the DEV branch.

You can use the command line parameter --Exploration-widgetActionDelay=<DELAY> if you are using DM's default strategies, otherwise you can use the parameter on your custom strategy.
