| Hi!
How do I best display a countdown?
My trigger contains the following line of code sent to script:
Doafter(math.random (1500, 1600 / 10, "alias1")
So what I simply want is some sort of clock that shows the countdown in my main window.
Regards
Peter | | Top |

No it doesn't, because that's not valid syntax. What does your trigger actually have? |

Well, since it works just fine I count that as a valid syntax! | | Top |

For advice on how to copy aliases, timers or triggers from within MUSHclient, and paste them into a forum message, please see Copying XML.

1. You're missing a ) somewhere
2. The function is DoAfter, not Doafter
What you pasted is invalid, which is why Fiendish is asking for a literal paste of what your trigger contains. A correct semblance of your paste would be:
DoAfter(math.random(1500, 1600) / 10, "alias1")
For utmost accuracy, you should export the trigger and paste it here. Nick linked to a forum post showing how to do that. |
