| Alright, first post here, but I've been lurking a while. No offense to anyone, but I got tired of my tick timer being in the status bar and overwriting stuff that was there every 2s, so I decided to move it out to a miniwin... and since I was doing that, I figured I'd give it a nice analog face... :)
Anyhow, what I have is IMHO a functional and nice looking tick timer. Y'all enjoy...

PS - if you submit issues through the google project, I will try to address them

| I would like to use this analog timer, but quite frankly I am not a good enough programmer to be able to modify it for my needs. Specifically, I don't want a tick timer, I simply am looking for an analog dial that shows how much time left until a mushclient timer fires. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

| First replace all instances of 30 with the duration of your timer in seconds.
Then replace
function OnPluginTelnetOption (option)
if option == string.char (101,1) then
-- last_tick = os.time()
last_tick = os.clock()
-- SetStatus ("Time to tick: " .. (last_tick + 30) - os.time ())
end -- if
end -- function
with something like
function MyTimerHasFired()
last_tick = os.clock()
end
and have your timer call that function when it fires.
I think that ought to be all you need. |

| Call GetTimerInfo (13) to find how long until a timer fires.

| I got it working using the tips from Fiendish. That gave me exactly the timer I needed, and I am loading/enabling/disabling the timer from my vbscript. I realize there is probably a more efficient way to do it, but that was the easiest for me and is working perfectly. Thanks for the help!
