Okay, so, I'm pretty new to all this scripting stuff, but learning, with some help. I've been trying to fashion a set of remote scripts that will be used to send me messages if I leave a PM window sitting without responding for 5 minutes. My current method of doing this is using two remote scripts, one to write a timer for every PM I get, one to stop that timer when I respond. However, The first one, to write the timer, doesn't -always- work (though it does sometimes) and also seems to work oddly if I change names. The second one simply does not do what I want it to do. Here are the scripts:
on *:TEXT:*:?:/timer $+ $nick 1 300 /echo 7 -a Don't forget about $+ $chr(32) $+ $nick $+ , woman! on *:INPUT:?:/timer $+ $target off
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

on *:TEXT:*:?:.timer $+ $me 1 300 echo 7 -a Don't forget about $me $+ , woman!
on *:INPUT:?:.timer $+ $me off

I would use on *:TEXT:*:?:.timer $+ $server $+ $nick 1 300 echo 7 -a Don't forget about $nick $+ , woman!
on *:INPUT:?:.timer $+ $server $+ $active off

Well, I've got the first part of the script working. I realized that the reason it wasn't always working was because it was an on TEXT script, and I had no on ACTION script. So now I have these, and they work fine: on *:TEXT:*:?:/timer $+ $server $+ $nick 1 300 echo 7 -a Don't forget about $nick $+ , woman!
on *:ACTION:*:?:/timer $+ $server $+ $nick 1 300 echo 7 -a Don't forget about $nick $+ , woman!
However, the second part of the script still does not work. It also seems that a should-be-simple script that just says: on *:INPUT:?:/echo 7 -a Hi. doesn't work, so do I just have on INPUT format wrong, or something? Thanks again.

You probably have another similar definition of an on input event before this one in the file, try to put you on action/text/input event in a new file

That did it. Without the other input interfering, it now works fine. However, every time I respond to the person a timer was started for, it gives me the message that the timer has been turned off. Unless someone knows how to silence this message so I don't have to see it in the PM window, I'm scrapping this idea for a script.

add a . to a command to turn off the output of this command, use ".timer" instead of "timer"

If you want to force a command to perform quietly ie. without printing out any information, then you can prefix it with a "." full stop.

Oh, well then! I suppose I should have looked into that myself. :P Thank you all for all the help, as far as I can tell the script works great now.

If anyone is interested in this script, here is the final product that works as well as I think is necessary. I may have missed something, however. on *:TEXT:*:?: {
.timer $+ $server $+ $nick 1 300 echo 7 -a Don't forget about $nick $+ !
.set %rem. $+ $nick 1
}
on *:ACTION:*:?: {
.timer $+ $server $+ $nick 1 300 echo 7 -a Don't forget about $nick $+ !
.set %rem. $+ $nick 1
}
on *:NICK: {
if ($($+(%,rem.,$nick),2) == 1) {
.timer $+ $server $+ $nick off
.timer $+ $server $+ $newnick 1 300 echo 7 -a Don't forget about $newnick $+ !
}
}
on *:INPUT:?: {
.timer $+ $server $+ $active off
.set %rem. $+ $active 0
}

Suggested alternative on *:TEXT:*:?: {
.t $server $nick
}
alias -t {
$+(.timer,$1,$2) 1 300 echo 7 -a Don't forget about $nick $+ !
set $+(%,rem,$2) 1
}
on *:ACTION:*:?: {
.t $server $nick
}
on *:NICK: {
if ($($+(%,rem.,$nick),2) == 1) {
$+(.timer,$server,$nick) off
.t $server $newnick
}
}
on *:INPUT:?: {
$+(.timer,$server,$nick) off
unset $+(%,rem,$nick)
}

I don't understand why so often people do make (wrong in this case) reply when it's not needed, his code can be better because he could use $timer instead of dynamic global var, but I think he don't care about that when he said "final"
