Hi,

I want to start a tick timer with a tick prompt from a trigger, and I need help in setting up a simple (sorta ) trigger/timer that does this :-

You load the cannon (switch on timer at 10 secs and set timer prompt to LIGHT FUSE)

When I see the text LIGHTFUSE, i want to run another trigger that will :-

strike match;set timer to 5 secs;set timer prompt to ignite;

When I see the text IGNITE, I want to run a trigger that sets match to fuse and kills the tick timer.

When I load the canon again, then it will start all again from scratch.

Any help would be great!

Is this just a series of commands with time delays? If so then you can use alarms. Something like:

#TR {You load the cannon} {
#ALA +10 {strike match}
#ALA +15 {set match to fuse}
}

That will strike match 10 seconds after loading and set match 15 seconds after loading.

Its not a series of time delay commands. Its in response to my and my team loading and firing cannons on our frigate! Cause one of may be loading the cannon, whilst the rest of will be either putting in the gun powder or lighting the fuse etc.

So I need to trigger on the responses, even though they are a sequence of sequential actions.

Sounds like the use of a multi-state trigger. I haven't used multi-state form of triggers, but that's what it sounds like you want to setup.

Is there no way of setting the tickprompt to something, and then when it hits zero, to show on the screen, so you can trigger to that?

As well as the ability to change the tick prompt via an alias or something?

#AL cannonson {#T+ CannonFire;cannonsoff;#PICK {p:Select your CF duty:} {o:1} {1, load cannon:#T+ 1} {2, strike match:#T+ 2} {3, ignite fuse:#T+ 3} {*4, ALL:CFall} {5, 1 and 2:CF12} {6, 1 and 3:CF13} {7, 2 and 3:CF23}}
#AL cannonsoff {#T- 1;#T- 2;#T- 3}
#CLASS CannonFire
#AL CF12 {#T+ 1;#T+ 2}
#AL CF13 {#T+ 1;#T+ 3}
#AL CF23 {#T+ 2;#T+ 3}
#AL CFall {#T+ 1;#T+ 2;#T+ 3}
#TR "1" {You load the cannon} {#ALA +10 {say LIGHT FUSE}} "" {disable}
#TR "2" {LIGHT FUSE} {strike match;#ALA +5 {IGNITE}} "" {case|disable}
#TR "3" {IGNITE} {set match to fuse} "" {case|disable}
#CLASS 0

untested
Something like that will prompt you for what your duties are and will only enable the appropriate triggers. You can manually enable them also. IMO, #ALARMs are what you'll want to use.

cannonson will make sure the class is open, the triggers are off, and then prompt for your duties to enable the needed trigs. I set it's default to all (press ESC to cancel).
cannonsoff will turn off all the trigs.
