| Hi to all.
I have a problem with his alias, i know that it is something on the syntax, but can't figure out where.
<aliases>
<alias
match="-reward (.*)"
enabled="y"
group="Newbie"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>player = "%1"
Send("at " ..player.. " reward " ..player.. " 1500 nice")
DoAfterSpecial (3, AddTimer("Reward", 2, 17, 0, AppendtoNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again."\n), timer_flag.Enabled + timer_flag.OneShot, ""), sendto.script)</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
What i want this to do is as follow:
- It sends to the world, the line:
at player reward player 1500 nice.
- When i execute this alias, i can only execute it again after 2 hours and 15 minutes.
- What i was trying to do, is when i can the alias, create a timer that after that time passes it sends to one of the notepads that i have the message "You can Reward again.".
Thank you. | | Top |

| You need to quote the thing you want done.
For example:
DoAfterSpecial (3 , 'print ("hello")' , sendto.script )
Use single quotes around the thing to be done, so you can use double quotes inside it. |

| Hello Nick. Thank you for your answer. I've tryied that, and it send to world this:
'AppendtoNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.")'
Meaning, it doesn't change the send to world to send to script.
<aliases>
<alias
match="-reward (.*)"
enabled="y"
group="Newbie"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>name = "%1"
Send("at " ..name.. " reward " ..name.. " 1500 nice")
DoAfterSpecial (3, AddTimer("Reward", 2, 17, 0, 'AppendtoNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.")', timer_flag.Enabled + timer_flag.OneShot, ""), sendto.script)
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
Then i've tryed to change to this:
<aliases>
<alias
match="-reward (.*)"
enabled="y"
group="Newbie"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>name = "%1"
Send("at " ..name.. " reward " ..name.. " 1500 nice")
DoAfterSpecial (8220, 'AppendtoNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.")', 12)</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
And i got this error:
Error number: 0
Event: Run-time error
Description: [string "Timer: "]:1: attempt to call global 'AppendtoNotepad' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
[string "Timer: "]:1: in main chunk
Called by: Immediate execution
Thank you. | | Top |

| Hi Nick. Thank you for your answer. I've changed that, and same thing.
AppendToNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.")
It sends this to the world and not to the script. | | Top |

DoAfterSpecial (3, AddTimer( ...
You didn't quote it. Why are you doing DoAfterSpecial (which adds a timer) to then add a timer? |

| LOL. I know Nick. I thought about that myself earlier the day.
The thing is that i dont know how to add the timer, and sending it to script, because of the command AppendToNotepad.
That is my only problem in here. If i manage to get it recognizing that it is to send to script, eveything will work, i think. | | Top |

| Let's clarify what you are doing. After 2 hours and 15 minutes from the alias firing you want a note in the notepad (appended) that says: "You can Reward again."
Is that it? |

| Something like this would do it:
<aliases>
<alias
match="-reward (.*)"
enabled="y"
group="Newbie"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>name = "%1"
Send("at " ..name.. " reward " ..name.. " 1500 nice")
DoAfterSpecial (10, 'AppendToNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.\\\\r\\\\n")', sendto.script)
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

I set the time limit there to 10 seconds for testing. For 2:15:00 you work out what that is in seconds, eg.
Thus you would want:
DoAfterSpecial (8100, 'AppendToNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.\\\\r\\\\n")', sendto.script)
Or to make it clearer:
DoAfterSpecial (2*60*60 + 15*60, 'AppendToNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.\\\\r\\\\n")', sendto.script)
