Timer

[Ace-T]

i am using LoReZ ShoutCast Script v2.1, and timer doesnt work

if {$sc::sets(adv) == 1} {
timer $sc::sets(advtime) "sc::post privmsg none all {$sc::texts(adv)}"
}

and

# Advertise every X Minutes
set sc::sets(advtime) 15


but it will announce onces then it wont announce no more.. :s

any ideas y?

even if i do summet easy as

set delay 1
timer delay "sc::post privmsg none all {$sc::texts(adv)}"

it works once then nothing..

is there a comand for party line to see what timers are running??

[awyeah]

IMHO you should try to contact the author at first.

cant seem to find him hehe

is there a way to get a list of active timers in partyline??

I think this will do the job in the partyline :

.tcl timers

nah dont work


just need to know why this timer aint reapting rly, timers in tcl are hard

[rosc2112]

There's a little script called timer1.0 in the tcl archive, that will allow you to look at the timers and set/kill new ones as needed.. You can debug your timer procs with putcmdlog strings, to see if the vars are being reset and the proc is being executed and such.

The var the proc is testing is not being set properly (f {$sc::sets(adv) == 1})

Where does the var $sc::sets(adv) get set? If it's a config option, it needs to be set to 1.. If it's set somewhere else in some proc, you need to follow the chain of logic to figure out why it's not being set to 1.

As far as making timers repeat, it's not that hard. There's plenty of example scripts in the archive and the forums, for example any of the advertising scripts that repeat every few minutes.

thx for ur reply, i have tried the script and it seems the timer is dying after the first announce, and i have it set to == 1 in the script so i know its not tht

just gotta find why its dying at the first announce rly

I think this will do the job in the partyline :

.tcl timers

U have to enable the .tcl commad in your conf file so it can work

# Comment these two lines if you wish to enable the .tcl and .set commands.
# If you select your owners wisely, you should be okay enabling these.
unbind dcc n tcl *dcc:tcl
unbind dcc n set *dcc:set

the timer1.0 scripted worked fine


i new the timer was setting anyway, cause if i set it to announce every 2 mins, it announced after the first 2 mins then died
