| Hey all. I'm trying to get back into MUD's because its a chance to refine some programming skills.
I'm trying to get a trigger to create a timer, but am running into some difficulty. I understand that there might be better ways to do what i'm doing, but please bear with me. My goal at the moment is just trying to get a trigger to create a timer that I can see in the timers menu, edit, and use as i please. At the moment, the trigger is set up as follows
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
group="Beetle"
match="* Happy hunting!"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>AddTimer("BeetleTimer", 0, 0, 1,"Say Good", 1 , " ")</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
The "say good" is just a placeholder until i get the timer creation to work. Any help woudl be appreciated. Thanks in advance! | | Top |

| | To clarify, when the case is matched and the code executes, no timer is created. Nothing shows up in the timers list, and when i test with IsTimer, it returns the code for does not exist. | | Top |

| You may find using addxml easier to add timers:

Also you may want to use the "active when closed" flag if you are expecting this timer to fire if the world is not connected.
Try "checking" the AddTimer result:
check (AddTimer("BeetleTimer", 0, 0, 1,"Say Good", 1 , ""))
That will raise an error if the sort of thing Fiendish mentioned happens.
