Multiple timers?
|
I've checked the help file on timers, and it doesn't seem to say anything about making seperate timers with different names. Is this possible? Maybe something that's on a wish list?
What I'm needing is something to keep track of certain spells and how long I have left on them. That way, I don't have to keep typing "Affect" (my mud's term for what spells are active on you) every five minutes. I have my timer right now set to keep track of how much time I have left to wait for a quest and how much time I have left if I'm already on a quest. But I'd like to keep track of how long my charmed creature will remain with me before the summon spell wears off. It is crucial in some zones that I have a mount with me, or the mobs overwhelm my character.
Thanks in advance! I hope there's some way to do this. |

If all you really want to do is display when the spells and such will wear off I would suggest you calculate it out based on %ctime and use the status bar for your display. If you need to take actions when they are due to time out use #ALARM to create your timers and the %alarm function to tell when they will end.
