Forums Scripts & Popups Need little help with timer

For some reason, the timer message goes into the status window instead of my active window when it triggers once in 10 seconds via my script. What to do to make the message show in the channel window?

I tried amsg and it worked, but not for msg.

# is another way of writing $chan. This means that if you start the timer in the status window, there will be no channel name and it will end up in your status window. If you start the timer from the editbox in #help, then your message will be sent to #help.
So, in other words, redefine # or beware where you start the timer.

/amsg on the other hand doesn't require a channel to be specified since it is a command to send something to all channels on the specific network.

By replacing # with the name of the actual channel.

A good question would be what if the name of the channel, was merely the # sign. That would stump my head for a bit.

That's where $chr(35) comes in, I'd think, or $eval(#,0)

After I changed it to the actual channel name, I still get this in my status window:

$2's

$2 $+ 's

It doesn't make any difference. Same thing happens.

I was thinking the $chr(35) on blank channel name, but the timer would still do the same thing evaluate it

$ $+ $chr(35)
or $!chr(35) ?

Anyhow... a little off topic now.

Hey, Can you try adding this to the next line and telling us the output

//echo -at OUTPUT: 1. $nick 2. $chan 3. $1-

I wound up with the above output. But it did show up on my channel window, which was what I wanted. I would like the timer message sent to the main channel window instead of the staus after the timer triggers. I have tried all other commands to get around, and they all worked great. It's only the /msg won't work out the way I wish.

Give this a try:



You will need to change #ChannelName though.
You MIGHT be able to change #ChannelName to $target. if not, you will have to type the channel name yourself
