Forums Feature Suggestions /enable -uN

The familiar -uN switch (used in variables, among other things) could be added to /enable and /disable. For example, the command:
///enable -u3 #blah
would be the same as:
//enable #blah | .timer 1 3 disable #blah

The .unset property should also be added to $group() and would function like in $hget().unset ($var().unset would also be a great idea btw).

While I dont use groups, I like this idea

maybe not used for just groups, could be used for everything.. /part -uN - /hop -uN - /cycle -uN - /exit -uN .. many timers you could remove in a big script if that option was avalible? same with the op commands.. kick - op - deop .. so i think that would be a great function to add

Yeah true, it could be used for a lot of commands and there already is a "delay command" for ops/voices (/pop & /pvoice)

in the "auto op" list yes.. but you could use it in your script too.. "for the bot creators".. !op give the person op after XX secconds..

Oh my!

This is one of the best suggestions I've seen here lately!

Bravo!

It certainly would take a much needed load of using timers.

Timers have their place, and its in the bin (thats my opinion, and I'm sticking with it)!

I wouldnt use the -uN option anyway, not as it is right now.

The -uN options seems to act like the -z option, rather than waiting N seconds then unsetting, it decreases N by one once per second then unsets when N reaches zero.

Say u go "set -u10 %test BLAH" and then 4 seconds later the N value would be down to 6 and then another script executes that causes a large time delay say 15 seconds, when that script finishes, N still equals 6 and 6 seconds later %test is unset.

Thats alot different from going "set %test BLAH | .timer 1 10 unset %test", after the 4 seconds the other script goes off, and after that 15 seconds the timer goes off and %test unsets, even thats not an exact 10 seconds but we all know timers dont run tell the running script stops.

Yeah, good idea.

That is what /pop (and /pvoice) does.
