Timers should not be used to keep track of durations. Save a starting $ctime (to a global variable or hash table), Then to determine elapsed duration use: $duration($calc($ctime - $starttime), 2) with alias $starttime returning your start time (or sub-in variable name) NaquadaBomb www.mirc-dll.com

The first one should've brought you to a specific reply to the initial post that the above link references. The specific reply I was trying to relay you to is the last reply to that post.
