Hello,

Is there a wait to prevent mIRC from stopping some timers when it loses connection to a network?

I have a script running some timers and when I lost connection to the network this evening, 2 of those timers stopped. How do I prevent such thing?

Thanks.

If you are connected to a server and you start a timer, it defaults to being an online timer, which means that if you disconnect from the server, it will be turned off. You can specify the -o switch to force it to be an offline timer.


I think I should have read the help before :b

You can close this thread!

As an aside, if your timer is "general purpose" and not doing anything to a specific server connection, you should use the '-i' flag as well. /timer -oi

Examples: Timer used as an alarm clock, to perform backups of files, used in a stand-alone picture window video game, or performs an operation across all servers with /scon -a, etc.


Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
