Timers & Variables
|
I've been working with the #ALARM command for a couple weeks now, trying to figure out a way to make 4 timers (essentially the same as the tick timer). Basically, I have 4 things that I need to count from 1 to 100 seconds, and store each's current second in a variable that can be displayed in the status window. Is this possible?

Yes, but the commands in the alarm will need to update each variable's value each tick. something like this...
#ADD var1 -1
#ADD var2 -1
#ADD var3 -1
#ADD var4 -1
Each time the alarm goes off, each variable will be decremented, and it should update in the status window just peachily.

How would that work though? The commands would only execute when the timer has reached the end, by my understanding.

Instead of having an alarm that fires every 100 second, you create an alarm that fires every second and a counter variable that is incremented every second. When the counter variable reaches 100, reset it to 0.
