| I have found and researched the GetTimerInfo and SetTimerOption features, but I can't seem to modify the "Omit From Output" boolean box.
I wrote an alias to do this:
world.SetTimerOption "breathlight", "Omit From Output", "1"
but it doesn't do anything. I just want to use an alias to toggle the "omit from output" box on or off. I don't want to turn the timer off, as I need it to keep going even if I can't see what it is doing.
Removing the quotes around the "1" doesn't seem to help, is what I'm attempting even possible? | | Top |

| If you check that option in a test timer, and the use the Copy button to get a copy of the timer onto the clipboard, you can see the correct spelling of the option. Try this:
SetTimerOption "breathlight", "omit_from_output", "1"

| How do you mean "call a variable"?
Timers can set variables, you can send to variable, or you can do it in scripting (send to script). |

| Ah I see. It doesn't seem to support expanding variables, so just script it, like this (in Lua):
<timers>
<timer
enabled="y"
second="5.00"
send_to="12"
>
<send>
require "var"
Send ("eat " .. var.food)
</send>
</timer>
</timers>
In VBscript, the 2 script lines would be replaced by:
Send "eat " & GetVariable ("food")
