Forums Scripts & Popups Timer pause/resume

I am currently facing a problem with timers not pausing. Here is an example.

.timermoo 1 500 echo $active moo
.timermoo -p

Now, you'd think $timer(moo).secs would constantly return the same value after this, but it doesn't appear to. The timer keeps ticking down.. the returned integer keeps changing. What am i doing wrong here?

Absolutely nothing. This is a problem with timers that has been reported. The fact that the problem still exists (I first noticed it in mIRC 6.0 which was the current version when I started working with timers) indicates that Khaled hasn't been able to find a workable solution to this problem (yet).
Please note that while the timer does keep ticking down, even after the pause command has been issued, the instructions to be executed when the timer expires, won't be executed until the timer has been resumed (/timer -r).

I assumed this was the nature of the timer pause
So while i do find it might have been better the other way (pausing the count down) I doubt it well be "fixed" as its not broken. (imho)
