I have here which is silly and long .... Code: /timer1 00:00 0 3600 /runscript /timer2 03:00 0 3600 /runscript /timer3 06:00 0 3600 /runscript /timer4 09:00 0 3600 /runscript etc... This is like running multiple timers and runs the script several times at once? So I've tried another way which is .... Code: /timerRUNSCRIPT 0 3600 /runscript That gives me problem because when I joined on the network say 12:20 .. it runs every hour on the 20 past Any suggestion? Thanks Colt (Excuse my poor english)

Or would that trigger the timer automatically be on the :00 on the clock? I'm running the script now to test .. hopefully if you can answer or re-solve the problem. Thanks Colt

If you started the timer at 21:26, it will start to run the second timer at 22:00, which is running every hours, note that at 22:00, the command associed with this second timer won't be executed, you have to execute it separatly when you run this second timer Last edited by Wims; 19/09/09 08:48 PM. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel
