Forums Scripts & Popups how to surpress /timer x activated msg in status w

That would run every 10 seconds, displaying the random number and the message.
As I understand the OP, he wants it to run at different intervals, with the interval being randomized.

To the OP: The problem that I can quickly foresee with that situation can be described with the following example.

1) Timer is started
2) Random time of 20 is picked
3) script waits 20 seconds
4) random time of 30 is picked
5) script waits 30 seconds
6) random time of 15 seconds is picked
7 script waits 15 seconds
etc. etc. etc.

ie: Due to the fact that the message doesn't get displayed until after the delay time has elapsed, setting a new delay time, each time, would mean that the message would never get displayed.

Re-reading your response regarding the error, it appears that you have the /timer command as a single line in the aliases.ini file.
In the alaises.ini file, you should have nothing except aliases, so the /timer command is invalid as an alias.
I suggest moving the code to a remote script, and if you want it as an alias, then use the alias prefix.
