How to set a timer?

This can be done in two alternative ways:

With a combination of Cron and Views you can regularly run a model and receive the list of users where your criteria matches and then loop through those users and do whatever is necessary. Samples of that can be found in the library of the ECA Guide.

As an alternative, you could use the Drupal queue and add a task for later execution to that queue. For that you can use the Enqueue a task with a delay action.

Thank you for the fast reply.

I looked through the library of the ECA Guide, but can't find any similar guide to start with. Can you or someone else go deeper in details for better insight?

Let's say User A log into website and got credited with some points for their daily login. Now, when User A log out and log in again, they should not get points for at least 24 hours where the last transaction for daily login triggered.

An ECA Model is already created and working to create the transaction, but triggers everytime User A log in.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Assuming that you're storing the timestamp of the last credit somewhere, you would just use that timestamp and compare it to the current time. In your model, you would then include a condition that only continues if the difference between the two value is greater than 24 hours.

This is much simpler than what I originally proposed, as it is not something that should happen without user interaction, it is triggered by the next login, so that's so much easier then.

I tried your suggestion, but it seems there's no option to compare 2 fields between a specific value/date/time or something else.

no operator for "between"

What do you mean by that? From your description I thought you wanted to avoid another credit with 24 hours. In that case you only need to check if the difference is greater than 24 hours.

However, if you wanted to check, if a value is between two other values, then you use a first condition to check if the value is greater than the lower value and then a second condition to check if it's lower than the upper value.

BTW, the library contains an example on how to combine conditions: https://ecaguide.org/library/simple/combined_conditions

@KiLLAH89 have you had a chance to resolve this or is there anything outstanding that we can help to resolve?
