tick timer on a gauge?
|
hi forum,
i'd like to have the %tick var on a gauge so i'd see the progress updated every second.
i could do some trigger on my muds prompt but i want it working even when i'm idling (so receive nothing much from the mud)
would that be possible somehow?
and, btw, is there a way to turn of that 'tick in 5 secs' message?
thanks,
joe |

It would probably be best to do this with a user-defined variable (@tick) instead of a system variable (%tick). You could then use an #ALARM to update the user variable and the gauge should update whenever the variable does.
#ALA *1 {#VAR tick %tick}
Yes, you can turn off the "tick in 5 seconds" message. It's in preferences. You can also turn it off using the #TIMER command, but preferences is easier.
