I need a hand making an auto save timer. The game i plays allows saves every minute, but i would like to save every 2 minutes or so

Thanks in advance

What you want my friend is an #ALARM

Try something like this.

This is one of the examples in the helpfile, I think (if not, go look at the same helpfile in the CMud manual, I know it's in that one). There's no point in having this trigger going while offline, so you'll want to use the connection-timer syntax.

#alarm -2:00 {save}

the - indicates that the time source is to be the connection timer instead of the system clock. the X:XX is the amount of time in (hours, which in this case aren't used,) minutes and seconds since you were connected (starting at the time this alarm was created, of course.) So, for example, -2:00 is the same as *120.
