Been awhile since i messed with zmuds scripting i made plenty of notes on my old timer script, but i guess it was not enough..My problem is the @wallseconds variable is going into negative values instead of subtracting from the @wallmins variable.

Variables
@wallseconds
@wallmins
@wallhours

Timer
#ALARM {*1}
#ADD wallseconds -1;#IF (@wallseconds >= 60) {#ADD mins -1;#VAR wallseconds 0};#IF (@wallmins >= 60)
{#ADD wallhours -1;#VAR wallmins 0};#IF (@wallhours >= 24) {#VAR wallhours 0}

Triggers that start the timer
The multi-colored barrier leaves you. #T- *1
You form a multi-colored barrier around your body. #T+ *1

You can't disable/enable the timer unless you have name for it.
*1 is just a pattern value such as for a usual trigger (as by essence, alarm actually is like a trigger in the first place).

#alarm "WallAlarm" {*1} {do your stuff}
#T- WallAlarm
#T+ WallAlarm

will work.

I edited this it's supposed to be -1 for mins hours and seconds, but yea the funny thing is it works fine, it disables itself and enables itself just fine, as i said the @seconds variable goes into a negative value instead of reseting to 59 and decreasing the min variable. I tried your way and it's just acting weird now. Creates a new vairable 04 a uses that to count down instead of the @wallseconds..hmm.

I'm reading your script, and unless I'm mistaken, how does it ever get to a positive? You say to add -1 to @wallseconds, but then you check if @wallseconds is greater than or equal to 60. If you're always subtracting, how are you getting to 60 for @wallseconds?

Shouldn't it be something like:

oh well the timer, is supposed to count down, i think i have something wrong in the script itself i just can't remember how to fix it..
like the variables for the @wall mins starts at 3 and @wallseconds starts at 4 so the timer goes from 3:04 to 3, 2 ,1,0, then -1,-2,-3,-4 ect i want it to go from 3:04 down. to zero at zero the timer shuts off. I hope this explains this better.

Simple logic problem:
#ALARM {*1}
#ADD wallseconds -1;#IF (@wallseconds <1) {#ADD mins -1;#VAR wallseconds 60};#IF (@wallmins < 1)
{#ADD wallhours -1;#VAR wallmins 60};#IF (@wallhours < 1) {#VAR wallhours 24}

Yes, "#T± *1" will work at least until you have another alarm that has the same pattern. Using the ID is a better long term solution, but is not required.

Works, thanks very much. I know it was just a basic math issue i should have just redid the script altogether now that i think about it..
