| I took a look around but couldn't find any threads on this.
I want to create a timer that checks/listens to see if a trigger fires in X amount of time. If the trigger does not fire then do something else.
Is this possible? | | Top |

- Clear a variable.
- Enable the trigger.
- Have the trigger set a variable if it fires.
- Start the timer.
- When the timer expires see if the variable has been set or not.
- Done.

One other question, I'm trying to get the quotes right for DoAfterSpecial but can't seem to.
local line = string.format("c %s %s", var, var2)
DoAfterSpecial(1, "Execute(line)", 12)
It's telling me
[string "Timer: "]:1: ')' expected near 'spellLine'
How can I fix these quotes? I've tried double, single and a bunch of other combinations. | | Top |

| Will "line" even exist at that point? Why not send to 'execute' rather than script?
Example:
DoAfterSpecial (2 , "dance" , sendto.execute )
Now instead of "dance" just put the thing you want to do after 2 seconds. |

Is this inside a trigger or alias ("Send" part)?
If so, the % symbols already have significance, so to use them for Lua purposes you have to double them, eg.
local line = string.format("c %%s %%s", var, var2)
That's because things like %1 mean "the first wildcard". |
