A quick question
|
Is it possible to have a an alarm keep working to a session you just disconected ?. I have made some gauges that keep track of how much sanc etc i have left, some times i disconect from a session but keep the window open and then reconect later. I would like the timer not to stop but keep counting down the spells durations.
Thanks |

The alarm should still be going when you disconnect, just make sure any variables that you dont want reset aren't given a default value ( for instance time left on sanc) or they will be reset when you reconnect.

Yes, it's possible. There's something like three types of alarm interval formats--system time (hour:minute:second, refers to a specific time of the day and I believe uses the 24-hour format), connection time (-hour:minute:second, stops working when you disconnect), and counting (*23, every 23 seconds).
I noticed the 7.05a help file didn't include this but I certainly do remember it from older versions, so I'm not sure if it was simply removed or if the new helpfile just hasn't had it put in, but system time and I guess connect time alarm intervals can use wildcards. * (when used for hours, you can simply drop off the * altogether), ? maybe, and {} for stringlists. |
