I used to use a timer for this on one of my old scripts, just wondered if there was a way to show the time like this in the active window, every hour.
--- the time is now: 6:00pm
thanks for any help.

I haven't tested this, but I think it should go
on *:start:{
timesetup
}
alias timesetup {
var %current = $asctime(hh)
var %current = $calc(%current + 1) $+ :00
.timertimenow $(%current,2) 1 0 onthehour
}
alias onthehour {
.timerhour 0 3600 echo $!active The time is now: $!asctime(h:nn TT)
}
Edit: Added the $calc to the %current setup

hmm I did a /timers and saw the hourly timer is running what was missing then was a line to echo when the alias fires
on *:start:{
timesetup
}
alias timesetup {
var %current = $asctime(hh)
var %current = $calc(%current + 1) $+ :00
.timertimenow $(%current,2) 1 0 onthehour
}
alias onthehour {
echo $active The time is now: $asctime(h:nn TT)
.timerhour 0 3600 echo $!active The time is now: $!asctime(h:nn TT)
}
i think that should fix it you migth reset the time to 15 after to see if its fixed

worked here, did you add the change in the onthehour alias?
alias onthehour {
[color:red] echo $active The time is now: $asctime(h:nn TT) [/color]
.timerhour 0 3600 echo $!active The time is now: $!asctime(h:nn TT)
}

yes its for 6:17 and that is what i tested it in.
first, change the time setup to be This hour, a few minutes form now
for exampole here its 1:38
I'll set it to fire off at 1:40
alias timesetup {
var %current = $asctime(hh)
;var %current = $calc(%current + 1) $+ :00
var %current = 13:40
.timertimenow $(%current,2) 1 0 onthehour
}
then type /timesetup to reset the timer

Hi,
try using "HH" instead of "hh"
it's 3pm right now. hh gives me 03. HH gives me 15, but mirc's timers only go by 24-hour time.

the scripting is no different for this in 6.17
I have set someone else up with it to play a sound every quarter hour and it is working for them.

yes, changed to HH, however the timer was setting for the correct time, it does work in my mIRC, not sure why it won't for vexed. I did make this change so it fires within the first 15 minutes of the startup event (and every 15 minutes)
on *:start:{
timesetup
}
alias timesetup {
var %currenttime = $asctime(nn)
if (%currenttime <= 15) { %current = $asctime(HH:15) }
elseif (%currenttime > 15) && (%currenttime <= 30) { %current = $asctime(HH:30) }
elseif (%currenttime > 30) && (%currenttime <= 45) { %current = $asctime(HH:45) }
else { var %current = $calc($asctime(HH) + 1) $+ :00 }
.timertimenow %current 1 0 onthehour
}
alias onthehour {
echo $active The time is now: $asctime(h:nn TT)
.timerhour 0 900 echo $!active The time is now: $!asctime(h:nn TT)
}

And if that doesn't fix it, try this code: on *:start:{
timesetup
}
alias timesetup {
timer $asctime(HH) $+ :59 1 60 //echo -a Time: $eval($asctime,0) $chr(124) timesetup
}Basically, timesetup sets itself into a timer that triggers ONCE one minute before the hour, waits 60 seconds, then as part of that trigger echos the time and calls itself again.

//echo -s $asctime(hh)
==> 03
//echo -s $asctime(h)
==> 3
//echo -s $asctime(H)
==> 15
//echo -s $asctime(HH)
==> 15
and I think the single big H would return 24-hour time, but if the time is between 0100 and 0959, it would cut off the leading 0.

I don't know why i had so many problems with yours I managed to sort something out and it seems to work spot on for me now on *:START:{
.timerhour 0 1 timesetup
}
alias hour {
if ($remove($time,$mid($time,1,3)) == 00:00) { echo -a $bit the time is now: $timestamp }
}
alias timesetup {
.hour
} thanks for your time and effort though
