Automatic save of world file

The timer below will automatically save your world file every 3 minutes, if you have changed it.

This is helpful if you are making all sorts of improvements to triggers etc., but are so carried away by what you are doing you forget to save anything.


<timers>
  <timer name="autosave" enabled="y" 
    minute="3" second="0.00" offset_second="0.00"    
    active_closed="y"
    send_to="12"
    omit_from_output="y" >
  <send>

if GetInfo (111) then
  Save ()
  ColourNote ("white", "blue", "World file saved.")
end -- if world file changed

</send>

  </timer>
</timers>

This is in Lua, it will work as is if you are using Lua scripting, otherwise turn it into a plugin, and install that:
