I am wondering if there is a time function in the mervbot that will allow me to make the bot do something at certain time??

or maybe have a command such as !settime = 10 minute and after 10 minute it will do something??

Thanks

I don't think it is possible to send a message prefixed by one ? for all to see in public chat.

Yes, its possible in one sense. It wont run in terms of time of day but will run in terms of timers. Merv plugins have 5 integers, counter[0]-[4], and each is ticked down once per second in EVENT_Tick. Use !settime to convert the number into an integer and store it to countdown[0]. In EVENT_Tick, check if(!countdown[0]) to see if it has reached 0 yet. That is where you put your periodic information.

ok, here:

command.cpp:

if(c->check("settime"))
{
countdown[0]=atoi(c->final);
}

spawn.cpp:

EVENT_Tick
{
for(int i=0;i<4;i++)
countdown[i]--;
if(!ountdown[0]
{
//Your stuff here.
}
}

Here's the files the Explody was talking about:

If you have no experience with C++, tell me what you want it do do and I'll program it for you. It shouldn't be that hard.
