| | I want to count the time (in seconds) between two lines, which appear in my output window, and then store it in a variable. The counter should start at the first line, then stop and store the elapsed time at the second line. How do I do this? | | Top |

| This is what I did, but it still doesn't work:
<triggers>
<trigger

match="^([[:alpha:]]+) brings back (her|his) arm\, locking eyes with you"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"

regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>time_fury = utils.timer () - check_fury</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
The variables don't get the new values. Can you help me? | | Top |

Do your triggers fire at all? That's the first step, but we can't tell from what you wrote. |

| | Good. Now try using SetVariable/GetVariable instead of local variables. |

How do you know? How did you display the variables? |

| To Nick Gammon: I tested the triggers a few times with different time interval between them. After each test, I glanced at World Properties... > Scripting > Variables to see the value of my variables, but they always stood with the default value.
I updated my triggers and now I use SetVariable/GetVariable as Fiendish suggested. I did a test with my triggers as follows:
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^([[:alpha:]]+) brings back (her|his) arm\, locking eyes with you"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>SetVariable ("check_fury", "utils.timer ()")
DoAfter (math.floor (GetVariable ("time_fury") - 0.5), "duck")</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^([[:alpha:]]+) hurls ([[:alpha:]]+) at you\, which returns to (her|his) hand\. You"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>SetVariable ("time_fury", "utils.timer () - check_fury")</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
During this test my "check_fury" variable updated with "utils.timer ()" value and my "time_fury" variable remained unchanged. Then, I removed the quotes:
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^([[:alpha:]]+) brings back (her|his) arm\, locking eyes with you"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>SetVariable ("check_fury", utils.timer ())
DoAfter (math.floor (GetVariable ("time_fury") - 0.5), "duck")</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^([[:alpha:]]+) hurls ([[:alpha:]]+) at you\, which returns to (her|his) hand\. You"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>SetVariable ("time_fury", utils.timer () - check_fury)</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
This time my "check_fury" variable updated with "128839.22926007" value and my "time_fury" variable remained unchanged again. | | Top |

| It looks like you're complicating things a bit. Going back to what you originally posted, try this modification...
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
match="^([[:alpha:]]+) brings back (her|his) arm\, locking eyes with you"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>SetVariable("check_fury", utils.timer())</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^([[:alpha:]]+) hurls ([[:alpha:]]+) at you\, which returns to (her|his) hand\. You"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>time_fury = utils.timer() - GetVariable("check_fury"))</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

You don't have to use get and set variable, but you do need to understand about the different types of variables.
