7.1 General Settings (Timing & Logic)

These settings control the heartbeat of the automation engine.

🔹 Scan Delay (ms)

  • Definition: The interval between screen captures.
  • Default: 300ms.
  • Impact: Lower values (e.g., 100ms) make the bot react faster to appearing text/images but increase CPU usage. Higher values (e.g., 1000ms) save resources but might miss fast-moving targets.

🔹 Process Switch Delay (ms)

  • Definition: The pause immediately after bringing a new window to the foreground but before scanning it.
  • Why? Games often take a split second to render graphics after an Alt+Tab. If the bot scans too early, it sees a black screen.
  • Recommended: 500ms or higher.

🔹 Process Cooldown (seconds)

  • Definition: A mandatory rest period for a specific window after an action is performed.
  • Usage: If enabled (checked), the bot will not return to this specific window for the set number of seconds (e.g., 5 sn).

🔹 Wait For Captcha (ms) – New Feature

  • Definition: A smart pause logic tied to the Process Cooldown.
  • Function: If enabled, the bot waits on the current window for the specified time (e.g., 2000ms) after clicking. This gives time for a Captcha popup to appear so the bot can solve it before switching away.
  • Requirement: This setting is only active if Process Cooldown is enabled.
