Is there a way to setup a timer to send a command to the world while still activating an alias?

Yes.
Setup your alias like you world normally.
I.e. blah blah
sends to the mud: blah blah

Label it: blah
script: OnBlah

the script would be something like:

sub OnBlahScript (name, line, wilds)
world.doafter 30, "some other command"
end sub


Or something like that, if your using wilds, you'd do:
world.doafter 30, "some other command at " & wilds(1)
Or something to that affect.
If you want to adda perm timer, you'd world.addtimer instead.

My code(with a LOT of Nicks help) to fame:

sub OnAutoCombo (TriggerName, TriggerLine, arrWildCards)
dim AutoCombo
AutoCombo = split (arrWildCards (1))
Dim i, attack
for i=lbound (AutoCombo ) to ubound (AutoCombo )
Select Case AutoCombo (i)
case "rp" attack = "punch right"
case "lp" attack = "punch left"
case "s" attack = "sweep"
case "r" attack = "roundhouse"
case else attack = "" ' unknown attack type
End Select
if i = ubound (AutoCombo ) then
world.send "throw " + world.getvariable ("attacker") + " down"
else
world.send attack + " " + world.GetVariable ("attacker")
end if
next
end sub

Or, alternately, enter this in the "send" box and send to scripting:
EnableTimer "TimerName", True
Send "Blah blah"

The more I think of it, the more I see that the plugin idea was a stroke of genius... I don't use scripts at all, and I don't know what I was even doing without plugins/send to scripting in triggers...

Vidi, Vici, Veni.
