Need help with timer.
|
I have an exp counter that calculate totals my exp every mob kill and basically I want to tie this in with the timer. Basically what I have now is whenever I want to know how much xp I have gained anytime, I can group tell it. However, what I want to do is be able to set a time for whatever length say for every hour, stating how much xp I have gained every half hour. In addition, I would like to also be able to change the timer time to whatever I want, like every half hour, every hour or every two hours...etc..
Anyone can help.

You can use an alarm to do this. If you want to change the time period, you can do so in the editor.
#ALA {*:00:00} {#SAY {I have gained @exp in %eval(%ctime/60) minutes, that's %eval((@exp*1800/%ctime)xp per half-hour.}}

Where is the alarm?
I'm not too familiar with the alarm.

An alarm is just another type of trigger. You can type what LightBulb posted directly into the command line or, if you want to use the settings editor, create a new trigger and put as the pattern the *:00:00 and the commands is the other stuff, and then set the Type setting for the trigger to Alarm.

Anyway to put the *:00:00 into a variable. This way I don't have to the settings just to adjust the amount of xp time I want it to automatically say. Right now I have it set for a half hour. -30:00
I want to be able to, let's say,
setxptimer -60:00
Then when I start the xptimercounter, it would then start countdown from -60:00.
Basically, I want to be lazy and not have to go to the settings to do the change.

I'm inclined to think the answer is no, but the only way anyone will know for sure is to try it. Since it's your question, and since you are the one who doesn't want to bother using the editor, I'd suggest you be the one to try using a variable for the #ALARM time.
