Zugg Software :: View topic - Using #say and %time to throw current time on the screen and trigger off it

Basically at these times i need some class folders to be turned on, or off, and if turned on I need some aliases to be entered to get things going again.
I have tried it with other times exactly as it is, and it worked, but wanted a second opinion. So drop a line here and tell me what you think.

#CLASS {stand-alone *censored* on and off}
#TRIGGER {06:(%1) pm} {*censored action to perform*}
#TRIGGER {09:(%1) am} {
*censored alias to perform*
#wait 2000
*censored alias to perform*
}
#TRIGGER {11:(%1) pm} {
*censored alias to perform*
#wait 5000
*censored alias to perform*
}
#TRIGGER {07:(%1) am} {*censored action to perform*}
#CLASS 0

Here is the trigger that throws the time up on the screen for me.

#CLASS {staying connected}
#TRIGGER {TICK IN 5 SECONDS.} {
save
backup
#wait 5000
#say %time( "hh:nn am/pm")
}
#CLASS 0

This seemed pretty simple, but I got to looking at it and thinking about it, and I noticed I really only wanted the aliases and actions to be performed once for each time period. I am saying that after 9 am I just wanted to turn on some class folders and then perform an alias once, and that the way I had it set up was going to do that like 12+ times every hour (since my tick timer is set to 5 minutes to stay connected it would go off 12 times per hour). I do think I got it to work though, instead of performing the alias it performs an in game command that will do 1 of 3 things. 1 it will say it is ok to go through with what I want, 2 it will say there are like 20 minutes before I can do that, and 3 it will say in a round-about way I am already doing that. So I merely set up a trigger that will fire off the one that tells me I can go through with what I want right now.

#alarm also takes times of the day as its argument, or lengths of time that you've been connected. Much easier.

All I want to do is cut those class folders on, or off, and then perform certain actions when turned on; I want to turn then on, or off, at specific times also. Could you devise a way to do that #alarm pretty easily? At the 6: 00 pm I want to turn them off, and at the 7:00 am I want to turn the off. I want them back on at 9:00 am and 11:00 pm.
