Timers
Enable Timers If checked, all timers are enabled (active). Override with default timers If checked, next time the world is loaded your timers are replaced with the default ones. See the help topic on "defaults" for more details. Add... Click to add a timer. Edit... Click to edit an existing timer. Remove Click to remove one or more selected timers from the list. Find... Click to find a timer based on its contents. Find Next Click to repeat the next find (find another one that matches). Load... Click to load timers from disk. Save... Click to save selected timers to disk. Reset All Timers Click to reset all timers. This means that timers that fire after a certain interval will start counting again from zero. Copy Click to copy the selected timer(s) to the clipboard in XML format. Paste Click to paste the clipboard into the timer list. The timers must be in XML format (such as produced by the Copy button). Only timers will be pasted, if there are other types on the clipboard. Copy and paste is intended to allow you to get/put timers onto the Forum, or exchange them between worlds or with other MUSHclient users. Filter by: Check to filter the visible items by the function "filter". Click on the button labelled "..." next to the "filter by" checkbox to enter the code for the scripted filter function. The filter function must be written in Lua and have a function named "filter" in the script, taking one argument which is the name (label) of the timer. For example, to show only timers that do "send to script":
    function filter (s)
      return GetTimerInfo (s, 20) == 12
    end -- filter
You can use GetTimerInfo or GetTimerOption to find out information about that timer and work out whether to show it or not. If the function returns the boolean value "false" then the item is not shown, otherwise it is shown in the list. The filter script is saved in the world file, so you can use it again next time, however the filter flag is not remembered. You must explicitly enable it each time you want to filter the list.
