Author Topic: Question !rtimer (Read 3399 times)

Hi, got a question about the timers in 6.1

You can set the class of the timers in the bot.
Now i want to set !rtimer on countdown but i cant find where i can do that.
I can do !ptimer and !timer but they dont repeat.

I tried !rtimer countdown 00:00:30 00:00:30 TEST

Then he ends with the countdown but when he repeats he is standard again. etc etc..

Somebody know how to change that?

thnx alot

The countdown class isn't targeted at normal created timers, though output-wise it should work ok. Most internally used timer classes would create strange output if used for normal player timers.

In my table the entries for the end of a countdown look ok, the timer handler should be able to find the correct class when updating the repeating timer.

But I didn't have time for real debugging, the function might missbehave.

with !tset you should be able to change the class for the timer, but rtimer isnt there, only private timer and public timer.

thnx for your time :-)

rtimer is just a special case of timer, using the same timer settings.

There are 3 timer commands, !timer, !ptimer, !rtimer.
!timer is the generic timer command, creating and viewing non-repeating timer in the input channel.
!ptimer is a way to view/set public timer in gc/pgroup using tells.
!rtimer is used to create repeating timer, taking a second time as repeat intervall. Otherwise it's identical to !timer (of course, it can't be used to show registered timers).

The internal handling is identical for all timers.

Hi,

Well then !rtimer doesnt work as the other 2. Both settings are on countdown, !timer and !ptimer are counting down. !rtimer only says 10 seconds left..

thnx.

Just to understand the problem:

You have set default class to Countdown using !tset (public and/or private).
You call !timer in the channel and Countdown is used as timer class. Same for !ptimer.

But calling !rtimer in the same channel doesn't work correctly, it still is using a different timer class on the first event?
Or only on 2nd and following timer events?

Yup,

only when i type !rtimer countdown 00:00:30 30 TEST

then only once he countdowns and then the rest is with the old class.
So he doesnt repeat the countdown.

Cheerz
