Explain AppOnIdle timers please

[chutem]

Could somebody please explain how to make timers using AppOnIdle, As seen at www.enesce.com/help, I do not understand exactly how to do them.

Thanks in advance

AppOnIdle is called every second, if you want to regenerate health like in Avkon's Warmth you put there a loop for healing.

at enesce.com is shown how to do commands every x seconds/minutes/hours...

Another kind of "timer" would be to count down a certain amount of seconds. For example:

Code: [Select]

var
timer: integer;

procedure AppOnIdle(Ticks: integer);
begin
if timer > 0 then begin
timer := timer - 1;
if timer = 0 then
WriteLn('Woo yay 2 minutes has passed');
end;
end;

function OnCommand(ID: Byte; Text: string): boolean;
begin
if LowerCase(GetPiece(Text,' ',0)) = '/countdown' then
timer := 120;
end;
