Forums Feature Suggestions $timer() update/add tag

Okay, the main trouble here seems to be a simple way mIRC has always referred to it's timers (by default and by user-definition). For example, type:



Now, what if I were to also do:



The timer's name assumes the name '1' by default. However, now using $timer(N/ID) to gather info regarding the 'named' timer1 now results in only timer 1's info being shown, ie: $timer(1) = 'One'. Is there any way possible that mIRC could have a $timer(N/ID,n/i) command/tag added? For instance:

$timer(3,n) == I'm checking timer 3's, the assumed 'number' ordered timer, info. And then:

$timer(3,i) == I'm checking timer 3's, the assumed 'id' name for the timer, info.

Possible? I only ask because it's crucial for something I'm developing. Thanks again!

Why exactly is this crucial? I can think of countless workarounds here..

I think that a option like this hasn't been asked because that's not how you should use /timer.If you don't name a timer, it's because you don't want to check it after, if you want to, simply name the timer.It is not cruxial, rather useless

The keyword here is 'feature suggestions'. I just wanted to suggest something that I wouldn't mind seeing. In fact, argv0, you are correct, there are numerous workarounds for this, but I was actually looking into a timer monitor add-on that I've been suggested to do, but this is just a speed bump for me. Granted, I could easily count the $timer(0) values and just hash them or store them with their relative name, but it would still be nice to see it as a feature. Who knows when it might come in handy and for whatever reason.
