Hi,

I haven't been able to work out how, if possible, to cause timers to trigger sounds without sending anything to the mud I'm connected to. The rules of my mud state that nothing can be set up so that commands are sent through triggers and such so I need the timer to work completely internally.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks.

Just send to script and have it play a file through the Sound function. For example, with Lua, you would have: Sound("soundfile.wav") in the send box.
It is much easier to fight for one's ideals than to live up to them.

Could you possibly walk me through it? I'm entirely confused.

umm... I pretty much just did walk you through it... open up the timer with ctrl-shft-0 then set the timer to whatever interval you need. Then put Sound("soundfilename.wav") in the send field. Next, look just below that for the "send to" drop box, and set that to "script". You should be set at that point.
