Use timer, check this page, the example section has what you need, watch out for timer injection though.

Ty I have the timers figured out and all is good.

I have a new issue id like to work out if you can help out.

If the user spams the trigger, how would i go about getting it to respond only to the first trigger and ignore the rest for a set time?

You can set a (dynamically named) variable when you the code is executed the first time, and check for it the next.
I've been away for a long time, and a bit rusty, but this might help.

Code
ON *:TEXT:*:*:{
  // Check if the variable is set, if not then perform the rest of the code.
  if ($eval($+(%,Timeout.,$chan,$nick),2) != 1) {

    // use -u switch to unset the variable after N seconds.
    set -u3 $+(%,Timeout.,$chan,$nick) 1

    // Do whatever is supposed to happen the first time here...
  }
}


Nothing...

One trick would be to use a named timer for his timer, and then you can achieve the same logic by checking if the timer 'exists'

This is what im working with right now. It works great as long as the user doesnt spam the trigger. If they spam it i want to only react to the first occurance and ignore the rest of them.

Code
on *:TEXT:sample:#channel:{ timer 1 8 msg #channel !play }


Im moderate with python and ahk but this is killing me.
