How to make "WAIT TIME" wait for a specific "Menu" to open before continuing an "Action" Chain



Using a custom "Action" to zoom in/out and reset  (See attached pic)

To quickly Zoom In and Out: I hold down the right mouse button while moving the "Vertical Scroll Wheel."  

It works great and is extremely quick and efficient.


ONE ISSUE:

As expected, My AC Custom "Right-Click" Menu ("Menu 2") opens after I release the right mouse button.  

Currently, to close “Menu 2,” I either click somewhere else in the tab, or I wait for the "WAIT TIME" + "CLOSE MENU" action
chain to do it for me after a "Fixed time lapse" of two seconds.


I would like to have that menu closed as soon as it pops up without waiting for the two seconds, or manually clicking elsewhere.
Or, a way to somehow not allow it to open during or after my “zoom” action.

IS THERE A WAY TO DO THAT?

MAYBE ADD AN ADDITIONAL OPTION TO THE "WAIT TIME" drop down menu to detect when a menu opens, so I can use "CLOSE MENU" to close it immediately.


IS THIS POSSIBLE (BELOW)? (See additional explanation in the attached pic).

Can you add an additional option to the "WAIT TIME" drop-down list such as "Menu opens," to detect the "Menu 2" Opening, so the "CLOSE MENU" that follows "WAIT TIME" in the action sequence will close it instantly.  


Currently, I wait for 2 seconds before the "CLOSE MENU" closes it.


Any method of auto-closing that Menu 2, or a way to prevent it from opening at all if I am doing a "zoom" action, would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

The following trigger does not fire its action if you press a button or turn a wheel between the press and the release of the button. You can use it to prevent your menu action from triggering.

Thanks for the response.

My right-click "Menu 2" was still popping up (during zoom actions), and I believe it was because of my "Open Menu 2" trigger settings below:

Trigger: Right Btn
Action: Press
No Auto Repeat: Checked
Hold down: 0.15 secs  (Maybe this was part of the popup problem, but I didn't test it)
Times: 1
Override: Simple  (This may have been a part of the issue, but I didn't test it)


BUT THAT'S TOTALLY FINE, BECAUSE I HAVE SINCE CHANGED MY "ZOOM IN OUT RESET" Triggers and they no longer include the "Right Btn."



I NOW HAVE A MUCH BETTER WAY THAT FITS MY ZOOM IN OUT RESET NEEDS and it only requires a single physical item:

THE "MOUSE WHEEL"

(SEE ATTACHED PIC FOR DETAILS)


HOW TO Zoom in out reset:

Zoom in: Press and hold the mouse wheel and roll it forward
Zoom out: Press and hold the mouse wheel and roll it backward
Zoom reset:   Press and hold the mouse wheel and toggle it (one time) to the left

THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT, and it works great.


Thanks again for the help.
