Forums Scripts & Popups titlebar vs timer on start!

I tried to search for anything familiar, but could find any so here goes.



Now, this doesnt update as it should. Why?`When I take .timer 0 1 /titlebar $time(HH:nn:ss) when I'm in IRC completly, its doing fine, but not on start. any idea on how to fix that?

mIRC isn't connected yet, it's "offline". So, use an Offline Timer:


Nice 'n simple.

ON *:START: { .timer -o 0 1 titlebar $!time(HH:nn:ss) }

would that do any different?

Heh, yeah. It'd probably do what you're after. The line I gave above would evaluate in the ON START event, and not update the time, even though it would update the titlebar every second. The ! forces the re-evaluation of the identifier every time the timer triggers.

> would that do any different?
Yes.

There's no need to use the -o switch though...

Also you should use the -i switch if you want the timer to continue running if the first connection is closed.
