I would like for the %Cache and %lastkill to be reset after 2 days from the %teim I've tried my hand at timers and I just can't wrap my head around them.

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Try to add this into your code but it must exist the %tiem variable if NOT then 2 days will be used to unset the %cache and %lastkill

Help details:

/help /timer
/help $timer

where should it be in the snippet?

Should i put it with this
if (%healthanimal <= 0) {
inc %cache %healtha
set %lastkill %target
set %tiem $asctime <The %Tiem VAR is the Date the kill took place>

.timer[EXPIRE_ $+ $chan $+ _ $+ $nick $+ ] 1 $iif(%tiem && %tiem isnum,$v1,172.8) unset %cache %lastkill
timernotice 1 $calc(%tiem -1) timer 1 20 notice + $+ # Cache is only good for $duration(%tiem) !

put it before the /msg or under it.

ok it seems to start the timer, not sure if the expiration works yet but we'll see. I'm still not understanding HOW it works, even with reading the tutorials, Could you please explain the evaluation of %tiem && %tiem isnum and how it will know 48 hours has transpired?

And thank you for your help and support thus far!!

You can see if it is running under /timers command, also i gave you an command that will start an timer (/help /timer) and will trigger on %tiem if this variable is available (/help if) and if has only numbers (/help isnum) then it will start with the %tiem details if not then it will start and expire on 2 days as you request it to do.

its still not working properly, for me anyhoww..
Is there a way to use $calc(%tiem + 178.5)? or to set a %var that on !cache queries to see if the date is expired?

I want it to say
!cache
You have %cache in the Cache, It was put there %tiem , It Expires on %tiem.end
timers and i do not agree, my understanding of them escapes,,
