Only 1 line at a time... Now ive got this: /timer.#hottubmessage 0 1800 play #hottub hottubmessage.txt 2000 It works fine, except every 30 minutes it plays all 20 lines of text to the channel with a 2 second delay between each line... Is it possible to play only 1 line every 30 minutes respectively, 1 - 20 in order... and loop it?

Code:

alias delayplay {
  [color:green];  %readdelay is the incrementing variable[/color]
  [color:green];  It starts at 0, so on first run it increments to 1[/color]
  [color:green]; Subsequent calls will increment it by 1 (1..2..3...4...etc)[/color]
  inc %readdelay
  [color:green];  Set current line of the text file, according to %readdelay into %current and send to channel[/color]
  var %current = $read(hottubmessage.txt, %readdelay)
  msg #hottub %current
  [color:green];  If %readdelay has reached the last line of the file, reset it to 0[/color]
  if (%readdelay == $lines(hottubmessage.txt)) {
    set %readdelay 0
  }
}

alias startplay {
  [color:green];  Unset %readdelay so it starts from the first line when this command is issued[/color]
  unset %readdelay
  .timerdelay 0 1800 delayplay
}

Use: /startplay
You can rename the aliases and variables to whatever you like, but be sure to change them in the script where applicable if you do so.

From what I know about it, once its playing no other play command can work untill its finished . //timer.#hottubmessage 20 1800 msg #hottub $!read(hottubmessage.txt,nt,$calc(20 - $!timer($ctimer).reps)) $(\|,) if (!$timer($ctimer).reps) $!+(timer,$ctimer) 20 1 $!timer($ctimer).com ^ that loops the 20 lines then relaunches the timer //timer.#hottubmessage 20000 1800 msg #hottub $!read(hottubmessage.txt,nt,$calc(20 - $!timer($ctimer).reps % 20)) ^ that just uses 20,000 iterations of the timer and keeps playing the file line 1 to 20, 1 to 20, 1 to 20 etc etc, so it does 1000 times through the file
