Quest Timers

Ok, Ive never asked since Ive never used them, and never had a need to. But now I was wondering...

How exactly do you use the timers? I have a few interesting ideas but I dont know how to use the timer commands :cry:

Example using timers.

sub EVENT_SPAWN
{
quest::say("I'm the Greeter! I say 'Greetings' every minute!");
quest::settimer(1,60);
}
sub EVENT_TIMER
{
quest::say("Greetings!");
quest::settimer(1,60);
}
sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/hail/i)
{
quest::say("Same to you, friend!");
}
}

Thanks Cisyouc.

What about having multiple timers in one quest, with each having a different function?

quest::settimer(1,60);

The 1 is the timer number, so for that he says Greetings every minute, but what if I want timer 2 to do something else, like him say "Im bored".

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/hail/i)
{
quest::say("I'm going to say HI!!! in 60 seconds.");
quest::settimer(1, 30);
}
}

sub EVENT_TIMER
{
if($timername == 1)
{
quest::say("Im about to say it...");
quest::settimer(2, 30);
}
else
{
quest::say("HI!!!");
}
}
