Hi all.
I dunno why in mirc 6.16 if i type in a window:

/timertest 3 1 echo -a My idle is: $idle


I get correctly:

My idle is: 1
My idle is: 2
My idle is: 3


but if I make an alias

/time {
/timertest 3 1 echo -a My idle is: $idle
}


and call it i get always


My idle is: 0
My idle is: 0
My idle is: 0

with the alias, $idle is evaluated when the timer starts, and is 0 because you probably just wrote a line to start that alias. try using $!idle in the alias.

how do you get 'scripting' out of 'developer forum' ?
