The timer command doesn't do repeats, it only waits so many second then calls the commands specified in the timer command.

Ya have to setup the timer again at this point if you wish for it to repeat.

You will need to make check to see if an existing timer is running, you will also need to make sure it only does it 10 times.

Eggdrop 1.8 will support repeating timers.

Note to users that wish to know about all these wonderful features eggdrop will have added in 1.8 (will have to see on the version number).

This version is a long way off, and things could change, again and again. So there is no ppint in making scripts compatible.
