Tick Timer Question
|
Is there a way to get the tick timer to execute a function or an alias?

You could kludge it by triggering on your TICK IN 5 SECONDS or whatever, but unless there is some good reason to use the tick timer (there usually isn't), just use an alarm and let the tick timer measure ticks:
#ala *60 {dance}
will execute the dance alias every 60 seconds of connect time.

#ALARM -60 {#Menu file|save}
Or something very close to that.

Of course there is a way to make the tick timer execute an alias or function. I make use of the tick timer to watch tick cycles for executing an alias which updates my spell duration guage.
1) Right-click on the timer and open the Tick Dialog. You can then enter commands in the Timer Command space seperated by semicolons ';' or,
2) Use the #TIMER command. Eg. '#TIMER on {timer commands} 0 0', or '#TIMER off {timer commands} 1 5'. |
