Hello! Returned to MUDs after a while and trying to set something up for one of my games.

I want to trigger a timer to run after a certain action, which will create a notification after so long:

_____________________
Trigger:



  <trigger
   custom_colour="9"
   enabled="y"
   make_italic="y"
   make_underline="y"
   match="*Thaum cast begun!*"
   name="ThaumTick"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>EnableTimer("ThaumTimer", true)</send>
  </trigger>

Timer:



  <timer name="ThaumTimer" enabled="y" minute="7" second="0.00" offset_second="0.00"    send_to="12"
>
  <send>Sound ("250770__ninafoletti__river-waterfall-2.wav")
ColourNote ("#9932CC", "black", "GP is filled up and ready to go!")
FlashIcon ()
EnableTimer("ThaumTimer", false)</send>

  </timer>

_____________________

If I run this, it will work fine and as expected, will trigger the timer to be enabled and then display/play the notifications and disabled the timer after 7 minutes. If I run again, the timer runs immediately. Run a third time, works as expected.

Anyone able to point out what I'm doing wrong? Probably something glaring..

Thanks in advance.

Reset the timer after you enable it in your trigger.

You should also set enabled="n" in the timer so that it doesn't run when you start up mushclient.

Nice one bud, added a reset to the trigger action, after it enables and that sorted the job!

Also see this:

ResetTimer

The documentation for the ResetTimer script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

You have to enable it before resetting it.

I mention this because other people reading this thread may not have realized the significance of the order of doing things.
