I am having troubles with a temporary timer that is created inside a trigger, I just can't get it to work. The timer is


AddTimer ("fst_drink",0,0,1,"",timer_flag.Enabled + Timer_flag.OneShot,"resdrink(fst_drink)")

and the function


function resdrink(name)
Note "Enters Function"
if name == fst_drink then
	Note "Checks name"
	if GetVariable("flag_drink") == "1" then 
		SetVariable("flag_drink", "0")
		Note "Checks variable and changes it"
	end
end
end

I have put the little notes to check if the function works.
The weird thing is, if I call the function from the immediate window, it works great, but it doesn't work from the timer. I have checked the send to script option in the trigger window, so that isn't the problem. Any help would be much apreciated.

If that's how you're adding it through the script, then the timer doesn't send to script. For that to work properly, either change the send_to with SetTimerOption, or better yet, add the trigger with the ImportXML function


ImportXML
[[
<timers>
  <timer name="fst_drink"
         enabled="y" 
         second="1" 
         send_to="12"
         one_shot="y" >
  <send>resdrink(fst_drink)</send>
  </timer>
</timers>
]]

It is much easier to fight for one's ideals than to live up to them.

I've got it to work, the problem was that I couldn't send the name of the timer to the function it called.
Edit: the correct timer, in case someone finds it useful:


AddTimer ("fst_drink",0,0,1,"",timer_flag.Enabled + 
Timer_flag.OneShot,"resdrink")

and the function


function resdrink(name,output,wildcards)
  if GetVariable("flag_drink") == "1" then 
	SetVariable("flag_drink", "0")
  end
end
