Here's my code what I thought it should works. /timer 12:00 1 0 echo -a It's now 12 o clock. See the interval 0 - that's unlimited right? - how come that doesn't work?

OP colt45 Vogon poet C Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 101	so far, got this to work. Code: {Alias} /12noon { /timer 00:00 1 1 /12midnight } /12midnight { /timer 12:00 1 1 /12noon } Is there's an easier way round to it? - or this is the only option? Thanks

At noon and midnight, that well trigger a ENDLESS timer going off every 1 second I releasised there was an easier way that what i did above, after looking at it. The only problem with a exact time timer is, it then trips off the <reps> <reptime> timer following it, so the first event doesnt trigger instantly. ie: /timer 12:00 1 1 echo The time is $time well be The Time is 12:00:01 Fix, for this? you set off two timers, one that goes off once at the designated time, and one that starts a timer from the designated time. Code: /timernoon.once 12:00 1 0 echo -a Noon /timermidnight.once 00:00 1 0 echo -a Midnight /timernoon 12:00 0 86400 echo -a Noon /timermidnight 00:00 0 86400 echo -a Midnight
