Perhaps my trigger knowlege isn't that great... but I can't figure out how to make simple timeers.

I used to use a program called SimpleMU as my Mudd Client untill I found out about zmud. I have used zmud ever sence, a superior program... but simplemu had a timer option... where you could put in the time, and string...

Example
Every 10 seconds it would type "Cast faerie fire"

And I could also make another one for lets say 20 seconds... and 15 seconds...

How could I do this in Zmud, The tick timer is the only timer that I see... But you can't put diffrent times in the tick timer, there's only one.

#ALARM *10 {cast faerie fire}

Here's a simple alias I use to let me make repeating events and stop them from the command line without having to fiddle with syntax bits. The way it works is something like this:

loop speedloop 30 drink speed
loop speedloop off

The first creates a looping command that executes every 30 seconds and executes the command "drink speed" and the second disables that. The name is used to match them up. I find this a little easier to remember to use when I'm setting things up on the fly, which I often do. (Of course if you're already used to the #alarm command it's probably not much simpler to use this.) It also puts the alarms into my "Temp" folder which makes it easier to find and remove anything that shouldn't be there. Here's the alias:

#ALIAS loop {#exec %concat( "#untrigger ", %char( 34), %1, %char( 34));#if (%lower( %2) <> "off") {#exec %concat( "#alarm ", %char( 34), %1, %char( 34), " {*", %2, "} {", %-3, "} ", %char( 34), "Temp", %char( 34));%-3}}

A simpler version of the above alias:
#ALIAS loop {#IF (%lower( %2) <> "off") {#ALARM "%1" *%2 {%-3} "Temp";%-3} {#UNTRIGGER "%1"}}
