DoAfterSpecial, AddTimer and AppendtoNotepad

Hi to all.
I have a problem with his alias, i know that it is something on the syntax, but can't figure out where.

<aliases>
<alias
match="-reward (.*)"
enabled="y"
group="Newbie"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>player = "%1"

Send("at " ..player.. " reward " ..player.. " 1500 nice")

DoAfterSpecial (3, AddTimer("Reward", 2, 17, 0, AppendtoNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again."\n), timer_flag.Enabled + timer_flag.OneShot, ""), sendto.script)</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

What i want this to do is as follow:
- It sends to the world, the line:
at player reward player 1500 nice.
- When i execute this alias, i can only execute it again after 2 hours and 15 minutes.
- What i was trying to do, is when i can the alias, create a timer that after that time passes it sends to one of the notepads that i have the message "You can Reward again.".

Thank you.

You need to quote the thing you want done.

For example:



Use single quotes around the thing to be done, so you can use double quotes inside it.

Hello Nick. Thank you for your answer. I've tryied that, and it send to world this:

'AppendtoNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.")'

Meaning, it doesn't change the send to world to send to script.

<aliases>
<alias
match="-reward (.*)"
enabled="y"
group="Newbie"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>name = "%1"

Send("at " ..name.. " reward " ..name.. " 1500 nice")

DoAfterSpecial (3, AddTimer("Reward", 2, 17, 0, 'AppendtoNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.")', timer_flag.Enabled + timer_flag.OneShot, ""), sendto.script)
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>


Then i've tryed to change to this:

<aliases>
<alias
match="-reward (.*)"
enabled="y"
group="Newbie"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>name = "%1"

Send("at " ..name.. " reward " ..name.. " 1500 nice")

DoAfterSpecial (8220, 'AppendtoNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.")', 12)</send>
</alias>
</aliases>


And i got this error:

Error number: 0
Event: Run-time error
Description: [string "Timer: "]:1: attempt to call global 'AppendtoNotepad' (a nil value)

stack traceback:

[string "Timer: "]:1: in main chunk

Thank you.

Have to get the capitalization right:

Hi Nick. Thank you for your answer. I've changed that, and same thing.

AppendToNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.")

It sends this to the world and not to the script.

Post the whole thing please, not just one line.

Send("at " ..name.. " reward " ..name.. " 1500 nice")

DoAfterSpecial (3, AddTimer("Reward", 2, 17, 0, 'AppendToNotepad("Notepad", "You can Reward again.")', timer_flag.Enabled + timer_flag.OneShot, ""), sendto.script)
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

You didn't quote it. Why are you doing DoAfterSpecial (which adds a timer) to then add a timer?

LOL. I know Nick. I thought about that myself earlier the day.
The thing is that i dont know how to add the timer, and sending it to script, because of the command AppendToNotepad.
That is my only problem in here. If i manage to get it recognizing that it is to send to script, eveything will work, i think.

Let's clarify what you are doing. After 2 hours and 15 minutes from the alias firing you want a note in the notepad (appended) that says: "You can Reward again."

Is that it?

Something like this would do it:





I set the time limit there to 10 seconds for testing. For 2:15:00 you work out what that is in seconds, eg.



Thus you would want:



Or to make it clearer:

Thank you Nick for all your help. That works extremely well. Exactly what i wanted. Thank you again for your help on all my doubts.
