Help!, How do I Stop this? Question

I messed up a bit with an alarm trigger and forgot to put a + in front of the time and now its firing once a second forever and nothing i do seems to stop it.

this was in a little script i made for if i fell asleep forging and the alarm part looks somthing like this:
#alarm (10) {wake ; #alarm (1) {forge}}

what I wanted it to do was wait 10 seconds after falling asleep to wake up and then resume forging 1 second later i tired to do the right thing and use #alarm instead of #wait and now i'm stuck with an endless loop Sad

#UNTRIGGER 1
That should get rid of the repeating alarm. Wash, rinse, repeat as necessary.
It sounds like you want something like this:
#ALARM +10 {wake;#ALARM +1 {forge}}
This will wait 10 seconds and send the 'wake' command and create the next alarm. 1 second later the 'forge' command will be sent. Each alarm is then deleted from memory.

I would recommend naming your alarms, for two reasons:

1. It gives you the ability to easily modify or delete the alarm with the name. If you have to use the timer pattern to remove it, how do you know you're not removing the wrong alarm?

2. It prevents you from creating hundreds of duplicate alarms when something loops in your scripts.

It sounds like what you might want here, though, is temporary triggers for when you wake up and when you are able to forge again. Not sure what MUD this script is for or what your output looks like, so maybe your alarms work just fine. Always helps to give more details when asking for help. Wink

i think what you need is

#trigger {You fall asleep} {wake;#alarm +1 {forge}}

replace 'You fall asleep' with whatever the mud sends you when you fall asleep :P
