/timer 10 20 /ame I am not here!

And mIRC will allocate the first free timer it finds to this command.
Was all I said. You can find all info you've asked for in this channel by simply reading the help files. Here, I'll go out of my way to explain what Sakana posted since you asked what was going on in his code.

You have this code presented:
Code:
if ($nick == $remove(#,$chr(35))) { return }

If I don't know what the code would do, I would first type " /help /return " and see that this halts a command.
We know that $nick means the username's nickname
We know that $remove will remove something from a string. Our string in this case is #, which is translated to #CHANNEL.
$chr might be an odd one. " /help $chr " - We now know that it returns an ascii character. The ascii character for number 35 is a hashtag (#).

So it literally translates to this.
$nick = Nillens
# = #Nillens
$chr(35) = #
$remove(#,$chr(35)) = Nillens
if (Nillens == Nillens) { return }

When I type /timers it shows .timer username 0 1800s delay "the message is here" I know how to stop and create a timer, I just didn't understand what timer was in use so I could stop it.. I learned how to create timers from the help files...

You can use

if ($timer(timer_name)) { timer_name off }

/timers <- show you the timers that are running.

Try not to use to many timers since it can make your script slow.

;--- edit

you can name your timers to what you want.

timer.time
timer.show
timer_time
timer_show

My only concern with that was if I name the timer would I be able to run different messages with that timer on multiple channels?

Of course you can. How about creating a timer for each channel? How about creating a timer that calls an alias that messages each different channel?

Examples:
Code:
on 1:join:#: { 
if ($nick == $me) timerMsg_ $+ # 0 600 msg # However you get the message here is up to you I guess.
}

Code:
on 1:connect: {
if (twitch isin $server) timerMsgAll 0 600 msgall 
}
alias msgall { 
var %channels $ini(MSGALL.ini,Chans,0) 
var %i 1 
while (%i <= %chans) {
var %chan $ini(MSGALL.ini,Chans,%i) 
var %message $readini(MSGALL.ini,Chans,%chan)
if (%chan ischan) msg %chan %message
inc %i
}
}
Well, you can always start the same scripts using a different event though if you prefer using text events.

I don't know why people still use ini's. I use hashtables for a multichannel twitch bot with extensive features.

/hmake tablename
/hadd tablename itemname value
/hdel tablename itemname

You use $hfind to search it. $hget to check a value.

For each channel I have one table for Channel Data, One for dynamic triggers, One for dictionary terms, one for ops, one for user info commands, one for dynamic trigger aliases, one to store regular users, one to store channel followers, one to store subscribers.

Personal preference. In this situation I'd use a local variable over anything, I just used $ini in hopes of educating the user a bit further. I use a variation of inis and hashtables, I don't think there's one better than the other, I think they have unique qualities that trump the other's same aspect.
