#timer help
 
Okay so i've been messing around with #timer, how do i set how long i want the timer to be and then the tick before it goes off?

I want to set it so that every 60 secs it saves the game for me when i engage said timer with a tick of 5

i've tried

#timer 60 {save} 5

but doesn't seem to do what i want it to do. I'm testing with this so i can set up other options for assisting and such. thanks in advance.

To set the timer length:

#TS 60

for 60 seconds.

the tick of 5 you speak of only references IF you want it to tell you it is about to tick

#TI 1 {save} 1 5

the first '1' is a Boolean for weather the timer is on (1) or off (0)
the second '1' is also a Boolean, for weather or not the "TICK IN x SECONDS." message is shown
the '5' is how many seconds before the command fires you want the tick message to appear

All in all for what you seem to want, an alarm would be much better:

#ALARM "saver" *60 {save}

which saves ever minute
