Timed Macro Triggered by Another Macro?

What would be the best way to do this: Macro 1 plays an alarm once at 90 minutes. Then it does not start the 90 minute countdown again until Macro 2 completes. Macro 2 would be independent of Macro 1 and is triggered by a hotkey. Thanks!

[Additional] Macro 3 runs at ME startup, stores date and time in an environment variable.

 

Macro 2 runs on hot-key, does its thing, then stores date and time in [the same] environment variable.

 

Macro 1 runs every 1 minute or 5 minutes or whatever, depending how precise you want the 90 minute alert interval to be. When it runs, Macro 1 checks current date and time against the stored value. If 90 minutes have passed, sound the alarm and store a high future date and time in the environment variable. If ninety minutes have not passed, just exit from Macro 1 with no further action.

I will give that a try. Thanks much.

This might work: Put a Macro Disable (of Macro 1) command at the end of Macro 1. Put a Macro Enable (of Macro 1) command at the end of Macro 2.

Thanks Samrae. That works. Much easier for me as working with the variables turned out to be a bit beyond my skills at this point.
