Forums Scripts & Popups Why doesn't this work?

I have a variable called FTPad1.delay

I created an alias (below) to set the timers for my ads. However, the timer keeps telling me it's getting invalid parameters. When i insert the variable as %FTPad1.delay it works fine. But when i use the method below it won't work.

alias AdSet { /timer $+ $1 $+ $2 0 % $+ $1 $+ $2 $+ .delay /msg $chan ad }

$AdSet(FTPad,1) <-This goes in a pop-up

What am i doing wrong? There has to be a way to make the timer evaluate that variable properly.
