Recently i decided to script the /timer function, to list the timers of course.
Looking at the properties i couldn't find one to show if the timer was in milliseconds or seconds, i know it's not a major flaw in mIRC or anything but as i decided to script around it to make the /timers list look more neat for my theme i ran into the problem of showing what the actual delay was in a format
IE: 500ms or 500s, it will just show 500
So i'm suggesting a new property for it, or perhaps it'd be easier to update the current one ($timer(1).delay) so it shows the suffix ms or s after it

This property should already exist.

Good idea. but I wouldn't add "ms" to a numeric value.. if anything, mIRC should represent millisecond values as decimals.. 0.3 instead of 300. Adding a suffix would mean people would have to $remove it if they wanted to do anything with the value.

I think it should return .delay as it does already and just add a .ms property to return $true if it's a ms timer or $false if not.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but it seems to me that you're saying that a person would have to use two properties to get the delay and find out if the delay is in milliseconds or not, as having the .delay altered to return in x.xxx format would eliminate the need for the extra property.

I can see how some current scripts that use the .delay property and have something coded in them to designate if the return is in milliseconds or not might be damaged, due to the change in the format of the .delay property
