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.

Code:

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?

Quote:

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".

Code:

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!!!");

    }

}
