stopping a alarm once its triggered?
 
I can view a running alarm with the #alarm command... and I see one counting down... what is the #command to suspend that alarm?

I tried #suspend alarm but that dosent seem to stop it once its started.

Thanks

You would have to disable it
#T-
or delete it
#UNTRIGGER

Both of those commands, like #SUSPEND, work best if the #ALARM is declared with an ID.
If yours has none, it will be easier to remove it via the GUI.

Make sure to use the proper time reference in your #ALARM if you only want it to fire once.

When I turn off the trigger the alarm is already running so it will execute one more time once its diabled.

#ALARMs are just a type of #TRIGGER.

<class name="rebash" enabled="false" id="232">
<trigger priority="2330" id="233">
<pattern>Your bash at %1 sends</pattern>
<value>#ALARM +5.73 {bash}</value>
</trigger>
<trigger priority="2340" id="234">
<pattern>They already seem to be stunned.</pattern>
<value>bash %1</value>
</trigger>
</class>

I have it set up on a button like so:

<button type="Toggle" autosize="false" width="85" height="23" color="#993300" priority="2410" id="241">
<caption>Rebash OFF</caption>
<value>#T+ rebash</value>
<button color="lime" id="242">
<caption>Rbash ON</caption>
<value>#suspend alarm +5.73
#T- Rebash
#suspend alarm +5.73</value>
</button>
</button>


But when i toggle it off there is normally a alarm running to bash one more time. I can see the alarm running with #alarm but dont know how to kill it. I thought the #suspend alarm +5.73 would do it but nogo

change the alarm to something like

#ALARM "rebash" +5.73 {bash}

the problem with the time as an ID is that the time will change before you can target it, this way you could

#SUSPEND rebash

I think I know what game you are playing on though (warrior, right?), and you might well benefit from instead timing out how long it takes before you can reuse the command again.
I use something similar to the following:

This requires you to have a button that only issues the power command where the ID is the powername.

#TR {message for succesful use of the power} {
#CALL %btncol(powerName,,firebrick)
#ALARM "powerNaming" +16 {#CALL %btncol(powerName,,lime)}
}

This template will change the color of the button red when you cant use it, then green when you can. just change powerName and powerNaming as needed, along with the time in the #ALARM.
