Solved Creating a timer

[Lordcre_]

I'm trying to create a timer using SharpSK that will constantly run, the problem is that I need a way to restart the timer after a server restart with the time remaining on the timer at the moment of the server restart.

I'm currently using local variables to set the duration and the type of time because it doesn't like regular variables- which, in reality, is what I want to use.

options:
    interval: 10
    type: seconds

on timer complete:
    if event-string is "test":
        wait 1 tick
        create timer "test" for {@interval} {@type}

im never used this addons. but try it out (i found it out of Skunity. documentions.)

on script load:
    loop all timers:
        stop timer "%loop-value%"
    #if error try this then
    stop timer "%all timers%

What do you mean it doesn't like global variables?

It couldn't understand the syntax. I ended up ditching SharpSK's timer and just made one. Not sure why it isn't working though.

function timerGo(n: number) :: number:
    set {_t} to {wr.interval}
    loop {_t} times:
        broadcast "%{_t}%"
        wait 1 second
        remove 1 from {_t}
        if {_t} = 0:
            timerGo(1)

I'm willing to bet you weren't giving it a timespan

Giving what a timespan? The original timer I was going to use? Just trying to understand what you're referencing.

Ah okay. You may be right, but I think it'll be to my benefit to use this alternate method (if I can ever figure out why it's not working)

function timerGo(n: number) :: number:
    set {_t} to {wr.interval}
    loop {_t} times:
        broadcast "%{_t}%"
        wait 1 second
        remove 1 from {_t}
        if {_t} = 0:
            timerGo(1)
