With a normal timer, you can return how many seconds there is left until it triggers by using $timer(n/name).secs

But with -m/h timers(that use milliseconds) there isn't a prop to return the time left in milliseconds. I can use the .secs prop and return the seconds left as though passed through $int() but there seems to be no way to accurately get the milliseconds left. I'd like to see it implemented, for the -m/h timers.

Currently when I create a timer inwhich i need to return the milliseconds, I am having to store $ticks in the name or such, then take that value, add the delay to it and then subtract the current $ticks, which makes things a little confusing.

To me it seems if there is a way to return the seconds left for a non-multimedia timer, there should be a way to return the milliseconds for a multimedia timer

Not to mention that $ticks isn't a real representation of milliseconds.

And indeed, this should already exists

sorry for the re-post then. Guess i didn't go back far enough in my searches

So.. any chance of this being added? (:

Khaled rarely tells us what he plans to add.

I know ;_) I just thought I'd bring this back to attention (:

Shouldn't .secs return a floating point value if a value is specified using the -m/-h switch. Otherwise you are going to have confusion.

That would be a good idea as well. To be honest, I don't really care that much, as long as we get the possibility to get milliseconds from $timer().
