Temp trigger duration
|
If I create a #TEMP trigger, how long does it last? Will anything execpt matching the trigger make it go away?
What I want is to trigger on a certain thing, but if it doesn't happen soon, then for the trigger not to happen, currently I'm using permanent triggers in classes and using #WAIT to disable them after a few seconds (I'll try changing that to alarm, now that I've read about the problems with #WAIT). But I was wondering if #TEMP would make more sense then disabling a class for one trigger. |

Yeah, the only way temporary triggers go away is by being fired. So, you should stick with enablind/disabling permanent triggers, and you are right, you should use an alarm instead.

#ALARM +(your timer interval) {#if (%trigger(triggerID) {#UNTRIGGER triggerID} {#NOOP}}
