Forums Scripts & Popups 24 hr timer

anyone know how to make a timer that would reset a variable every 24hr back to 0, i want to use it to keep track of how many urls were posted then reset on the 24hr and start fresh , but since i suffer from occassional disconnects would that interfere?

You can define an offline timer with the -o flag (/timer -o)

/timer.url.counter.reset -o 17:35 0 86400 set %varname 0
/timer.url.counter.reset.once.off -o 17:35 1 0 set %varname 0

These both go of at 5:25pm aka 17:35 (so set that to what ever you want), the first then sets off a endless timer that goes off once every 24hours aka 86400 seconds, the second one is needed becuase the first one doesant go off when its 5:35pm the first time, but rather sets off a 86400 second delayed timer, so it goes off the next day, thus u need a once off timer to go off then and there as well.

I've always found that American system weird, but I didn't think it was that weird :tongue:

24h clock system is a globaly used system, there is nothing country specific about its use. You just mainly see it in coding (to avoid to am/pm confusions) and military type implementations for the same reason.

I think what is meant is that 5:25 pm does not equate to 1735 (hours), but to 1725 (hours) !

Typo

Your code seemed overly complex when simply two near identical timers would handle the job.

5:25pm aka 17:35, for large values of 5:25pm.

Haha, yeah i suppose i overlooked the obvious.
