Run script when battery is 10%

Discussion & Questions

Very similar to Battery-triggered Button

I tried getting the code from that post and putting it in my own code, but I couldn't do it.
So does anyone know how to make the code below run when my battery is 10% remaining, and only once (and not while charging)?

set buttonSet to {"OK"}

display alert "Warning." message "Battery is 10%. Please charge your Macbook." buttons buttonSet as critical

Thanks

I use this script to provide an alert on the touchbar when the battery drops to 10% and not plugged in. The entire touchbar will be red in order to catch my attention.

set batteryStatus to do shell script "pmset -g batt"
set powerSource to word 4 of batteryStatus
set percentage to word 11 of batteryStatus as string
set charging to word 12 of batteryStatus
set remaininghours to word 8 of paragraph 2 of batteryStatus as string
set remainingminutes to word 9 of paragraph 2 of batteryStatus as string


if powerSource is "AC" then
	return ""
	
else if percentage is "100" then
	return ""
	
else if percentage is less than "11" then
	return "                        ⚠️     " & percentage & "% Remaining                      Warning: Low Battery!!                        " & " " & remaininghours & "h " & remainingminutes & "m" & "     ⚠️ "
	
else
	return ""
	
	
end if

thanks, but I don't want it to say anything. also, does this line show the warning on the touchbar? I don't want that either...
return "Warning: " & batteryPercent & "% Remaining. Please charge MacBook. " & remainingminutes & "min until lockdown"

Delete the lines starting with "say" and "return"

when I press run script, it works, but when the battery reaches the set percentage (set to 16% for testing) it didn't come up.
