Check if a trigger fires?

I took a look around but couldn't find any threads on this.

I want to create a timer that checks/listens to see if a trigger fires in X amount of time. If the trigger does not fire then do something else.

Is this possible?

• Clear a variable.
• Enable the trigger.
• Have the trigger set a variable if it fires.
• Start the timer.
• When the timer expires see if the variable has been set or not.
• Done.

Thanks!

One other question, I'm trying to get the quotes right for DoAfterSpecial but can't seem to.

local line = string.format("c %s %s", var, var2)
DoAfterSpecial(1, "Execute(line)", 12)

It's telling me

[string "Timer: "]:1: ')' expected near 'spellLine'

How can I fix these quotes? I've tried double, single and a bunch of other combinations.

Will "line" even exist at that point? Why not send to 'execute' rather than script?

Example:



Now instead of "dance" just put the thing you want to do after 2 seconds.

Is this inside a trigger or alias ("Send" part)?

If so, the % symbols already have significance, so to use them for Lua purposes you have to double them, eg.



That's because things like %1 mean "the first wildcard".
