| | Ok, so I think I've been doing this the hard way. All I really need is a timer set to send 'help helpNumber' to the MUD like every 3 seconds. That way I don't have to worry with all the different responses needing triggers. I tried to set up the timer myself using the same code you gave but I kept getting compile errors. Can you tell me how to proceed? | | Top |

| I set the timer to go off every 3 seconds. I send to script. In the Send: box I put:
<send>
-- if variable does not exist, create it
if not GetVariable ('helpNumber') then
SetVariable ('helpNumber', 0)
end -- if
-- get help
Send ("help " .. GetVariable ('helpNumber'))
-- add one to help number
SetVariable ('helpNumber', tonumber (GetVariable ('helpNumber')) + 1)
</send>
When I hit ok it immediately starts popping up compile error boxes every 3 seconds and the only way to stop it is to close down MUSHClient via Task Manager. I'm guessing I need some command to stop/start the timer in the MUD but I still don't think the code above is correct. | | Top |

| Sorry, Nick. Here's the whole thing:
<timers>
<timer second="3.00" offset_second="0.00" send_to="12"
>
<send><send>
-- if variable does not exist, create it
if not GetVariable ('helpNumber') then
SetVariable ('helpNumber', 0)
end -- if
-- get help
Send ("help " .. GetVariable ('helpNumber'))
-- add one to help number
SetVariable ('helpNumber', tonumber (GetVariable ('helpNumber')) + 1)
</send></send>
</timer>
</timers>

| You seem to have double "send" tags in your post, which may have something to do with your problem. I tried copy/pasting your code and that was the issue I had.
Another thing you can do to help debug is when an error popup is displayed, click the checkbox to have errors sent to your world window instead of the popup box. That way you wont get stuck in an infinite loop again where boxes are popping up faster than you can click them.
Here's the version of your timer that I got to work (all I did was get rid of the double send tags):
<timers>
<timer second="3.00" offset_second="0.00" send_to="12"
>
<send>
-- if variable does not exist, create it
if not GetVariable ('helpNumber') then
SetVariable ('helpNumber', 0)
end -- if
-- get help
Send ("help " .. GetVariable ('helpNumber'))
-- add one to help number
SetVariable ('helpNumber', tonumber (GetVariable ('helpNumber')) + 1)
</send>
</timer>
</timers>
