I assume you are talking about making the personality move after it reaches a
certain search depth? This is not difficult to do. First, set the personality's
search depth to your desired level. Then, set the time control so that it will
ALWAYS have more time to think than it needs, something like 1 move every five
minutes. Test this out on your hardware to find an appropriate maximum. The
personality should move when it reaches the search depth.

The only time when a personality will not move is if you are using the Infinite
time control.
