Quick alarm question
|
Okay, I've looked at the helpfile.. and I'm under the impression that it matches a time and goes off everytime that time is matched. IE, every 20 minutes it saves.
How can the alarm be used to act like the #WAIT function? Say, what would be the equivalent of - #wait 1000 ? |

The best way is to take the rest of the script for the trigger or alias and dump it into another alias. Then you alarm for a wait of 1000 would be:
#ALARM {+1} {newalias}
Remember wait was timed in milliseconds so 1000 there is 1 second which is what the +1 means. |

Okay... so you can put {+3} instead of an actual time.. and it will only fire once, in three seconds? That's exactly the answer I was looking for :)
