For example, I started a timer: /timergonogo 5 60 echo -a hello And when the timer is turned off I want to to say: Echo -a Timer Gonogo was turned off. Off cours that if I use: /timer 1 300 echo -a Timer Gonogo was turned off, I will get the result I want, but not incase the timer is being turned off before its time!! Since the timer could be turned off by a script, and by a user, I need to find if the timer was turn off by a simple command. Thanks.

You could write an alias to overwrite the /timer command for the timer you want to check:

Code:

;overwrite the timergonogo command
alias timergonogo {
  ;see if the timer is running
  var %wastimer = $timer(gonogo)

  ;execute the real command
  if ($show) timergonogo $1-
  else .timergonogo $1-

  ;timer is turned off if it was running and is no longer running after the 'real' command
  if ((%wastimer) &amp;&amp; (!$timer(gonogo))) echo * Timer gonogo has been turned off!

  ;if the timer is started and won't run forever set a timer to execute when this one is finished
  ;the +1 is to make sure it executes after gonogo has stopped, somehow it seems to overtake it sometimes otherwise
  elseif (($1) &amp;&amp; ($timer(gonogo))) .timergonogo-check-off 1 $calc($1 * $2 + 1) echo * Timer gonogo has finished!

  ;stop check-up timer if timer is no more
  if (!$timer(gonogo)) .timergonogo-check-off off
}

Note that this needs improvement for supporting switches. (the check-up timer won't work if you use switches, but it shouldn't be too difficult to make that work)
