I am trying to set a trigger to go off every 8 minutes. I just want it to send a set of simple commands to the mud nothing fancy basically i want it to tell my guy to go somewhere and come back every 8 minutes and repeat till i turn the trigger off but i cant figure out how to setup timers...essentially i need a 100% noob guide lol

well the best method for timers is #ALARM
The time length can be expressed in seconds, minutes, hours or more... you said every 8 minutes... that works out to -8:00
To make it easy to turn off we should give it a name "everyEight"

#ALARM "everyEight" -8:00 {stuff you want to do}

Then you want to make an easy method of toggling it on and off, I would suggest an #ALIAS
Then you need to test weather the setting is even turned on, since we named it this is easy to do with and #IF the %trigger function.
And to turn the setting on and off with #T+/-

#ALIAS ate {#IF (%trigger(everyEight)) {#T- everyEight} {#t+ everyEight}}

so command line is where i type to send commands to the mud so i just essentially copy and paste that command right there add what i want my char to do and bam every 8 minutes it shuld do that? what im trying to do ill make easier basically all i need this alarm to do is send the command "get haz" which will trigger my trigger which has about 250 commands in it. Tedious tasking of walking from here to there killing this guy looting and recall and i just dont want to have to intitiate that every 8 minutes heh

EDIT:: ok lol ive edited this post 6 times now i just realized how that command works and realized it is a trigger it made a trigger with the pattern of -8:00 so i can just add all the commands i want thanks a lot man seriously this is a major time saver!!
