Predefined variables:
%tick returns the number of seconds on the tick timer

You might have to do a little math
%eval(60 - %timer)
or you might not. Not sure if this counts up or down.

Doesn't work i've tried everything...
%w -- ' %2 tick'
#math tin (60 - %timer)
grouptell Request by : %2, Tick in : @tin.

also tried
gt Tick in @%timer, tried %timer, tried @tick, tried %tick...

Your pattern looks a little weird. And to clarify, %tick is the amount of time left until the tick.

#TR {(%w) -- '* tick} {grouptell Request by: %1, Tick in: %tick~.}

grouptell Request by: Kitn, Tick in: %tick.

Oops. Got it right (%tick) one time and wrong (%timer) the next.
%eval(60 - ~~%timer~~%tick)

Anyway, what you want is:
#TR {(%w) -- '* tick} {grouptell -- Request by: %1, tick in: <%tick>}

<%tick>
NOT %tick
The <> does make a difference, that's why it's there.

If you can't get one thing to work try another.
#TR {(%w) -- '* tick} {#VAR temp %tick;grouptell -- Request by: %1, tick in: @temp}

If all else fails, tell your friends they'll have to track the tick themselves. *grin*

Sorry, but this appears to be one of the differences between v5.55 and v6.16. The current version has %tick as a predefined variable, the older version doesn't (I opened my copy of 5.55 for the first time in years to check). So, unless you're willing to upgrade you'll probably have to do without it.

In choosing to use an outdated version, you should be aware that there will often be suggestions which won't work for you even though they will work fine for almost everyone else.

Is it possible to make an alias that makes a variable to see how further it is to tick??

Or something of that sort.
Can #alarm be of any use??
