Should be simple, although I do not know how to create windows that i can use scripts in. I know this may be possible using the editor window, but not sure how. Anyway ....... I would like to create timers in a visible window so that I can track respawn times of certain mobs. All mobs are on a respawn timer of 1 hour.

Here is some example code:

You killed Gurim the Sailor.

So after I kill this mob, I would like some sort of timer to countdown from 1 hour, displaying how much time is left until this mob respawns.

All i really need is to know how to create a visible window that I can direct the triggers too. The rest I can probably figure out, but feel free to post your own interpretations. Thanks!

Edit: Actually I am not sure how to create the countdown timer either. !

To create a new window you can use #WINDOW,#MAKEWINDOW or the #MXP FRAME tag.

To create a count down time, the simplest approach would be to create an #ALARM.

[Edit] To redirect output you can use either the #CAPTURE commard or the window focus character ':' as described in Introduction to Multiplaying
