I didn't know any way to fire this automatically, so I included it in an On:TEXT which is fired pretty often in the channel i use. Only thing is though, the script doesn't seem to work. Would be much appreciated if you could lend a hand/suggest a way to improve it It's basically a calender script using a custom calender for a game. The counter for %day is supposed to reset to 1 after 30, etc. the %updated was how I figured was best to stop it from firing repeatedly Code: if (updated==0){ if (0: isin $time) if (%day == 30) set %day 1 /msg $chan %month %day , %year else %day = %day + 1 set -u3600 %updated 1 } Last edited by C8889; 21/08/08 12:00 AM.

You're missing a number of { } which causes the ifs and else not work work as intended. Second, your script is dependent on being triggered by others at the right time, so if it isn't triggered at 0: (which is every 10 minutes, midnight, and 10 am) then you'll skip updating the day. Code: on *:start:{ update_day } alias update_day { if ((!%begin) \|\| (!%day)) { var -g %begin = $ctime var -g %day = 1 } if ($ceil($calc(($ctime - %begin)/86400)) >= 30) { %begin = $ctime %day = 1 } else %day = $v1 .timerupdate.day -o 00:00 1 0 update_day } The timer is set to go off every day at midnight. The alias sets an initial time and then calculates how many days have passed since it started, and resets to 1 once it reaches 30. I'm not sure if it will work perfectly though. %begin may need to be the time at midnight. edit: changed timer Last edited by Loki12583; 21/08/08 03:49 AM.

Finally, looking at your code, you have the timer set to fire at 0 seconds after midnight and indefinetely. I just did a quick test of this method, and it runs constantly starting at the initial time (ie: 0 seconds after midnight) My apologies, Loki.. I missed the fact that you were replying directly to the OP, and not to me in regards to my code. Last edited by RusselB; 21/08/08 03:40 AM.
