Sorry if this has already been asked/answered - I searched the forums some and checked the FAQ, etc. and didn't see it.

First, I'm using Zmud version 7.21.

Is there a way to have a countdown timer that I can trigger actions off of that will work using fractions of seconds? The mud I play uses "Rounds" that are somewhat variable depending on what race you play but are generally in the range of 2.8-3.2 seconds or so. I want to be able to track these rounds (A simply example of this would be to just display a message every 2.8 seconds) Is there a way to do this? I've looked into the #alarm command, but it doesn't seem to work with anything less than whole seconds.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

Ok I posted a different trigger first, but that one just sucked. Try this

#TRIGGER "tRoundDisplay" {RoundDisplay} {} "" {manual}
#COND {} {#SHOW Round;#SET tRoundDisplay 0} {wait|param=2800}

alarms work with fractions of a second, i have many that use #alarm +.01(+ makes it temp), so just have a #alarm 2.8 {#show round, or whatever} and every 2.8 seconds it will fire

Hmm that's odd I could never get a .5 alarm to work. I did just try 2.8 and it worked fine.

edit: well a +.5 works but not a permanent one.
