Timer55
Basic Auto Away Setting with Channel Message
Function: When you know you will be away from the computer for a brief
time, or when you are working on another program while the
channel is still going (multi-tasking), this script will auto-
matically change your current nickname to "<nick>_away" and
allow you to specify a message to be sent periodically to the
channel, for a limited number of times, saying you are away and
or how you can be "Paged."
In addition, the script will automatically return your nick to
normal (without the _away) and turn off the automatic announce-
ment when you tell it you have returned.
The script provides for two regularly used nicknames, the nick
and alternate nick in mIRC, and will require you to put those
nicknames in the proper places in the script. For that reason
the script has been rated #3 in difficulty of use.
Note: Timer 55 is specified in order that it may be exclusively
turned off even if other timers are currently functioning.
It will send your specified message every 10 minutes for
a maximum of 3 times.
IMPORTANT: On #50+retired, please DO NOT set the timer for less
than 10 minutes, or extend the number of repetitions beyond
the 3 given here. If away users and their messages crowd
the channel window or accelerate the "scroll," the OPs will
be forced to temporarily "kick" those users.
