help with uptime timer: - mIRC Discussion Forums

how do i fix this?

Code:

.timeruptime 0 1 { //set %uptime $uptime(system,1) | //dll dll/ktools.dll SbSetText 2 &gt; noborder &gt; [Uptime: %uptime $+ ] | unset %uptime }

it works for the first time, but this thinks $uptime(system,1) is the same as when it was first executed. So whats up?

you know if would work if you just used $uptime(server,1) instead of the variable

but i think this will work

Code:

.timeruptime 0 1 { unset %uptime | set %uptime $uptime(system,1) | dll dll/ktools.dll SbSetText 2 &gt; noborder &gt; [Uptime: %uptime $+ ] }

try this....

Code:

.timeruptime 0 1 uptimethingy
alias uptimethingy {
 set %uptime $uptime(system,1) 
dll dll/ktools.dll SbSetText 2 &gt; noborder &gt; [Uptime: %uptime $+ ] 
 unset %uptime 
}

that way itnstead of the timer being set to always do the same thing, its set to do the alias, which re-evaluates the variables
