Forums Scripts & Popups Can I pull this information from the timer?

At times my bot sets a timer using

If the person leaves the room before the timer expires, I want to store that information so that I can restart the timer when they get back. I'm not sure how I would pull the information from the timer line for storage, or if there might be a simpler way of doing this.

I realize that there is the -p & -r options for the /timer command, but I also know that they don't literally pause & resume the timer that they're associated with.

And my apologies if this sounds familiar.. I thought I'd done something like this before, but couldn't find the post in the search.

Information on a timer can be retrieved with $timer. For example $timer(name).com to return the command

//echo -a 1 $timer($+(.,$nick,.,%timer)).secs $timer($+(.,$nick,.,%timer)).com

that should do, as the timer is only a once off timer
