).
Controlling count up/down timers with chat commands
You can control the chat command timers using keywords. For example, if your message pattern is !timer
, you can use the following commands:
* !timer
or !timer start
to start a timer counting up from 0.
* !timer 5m
to start a timer counting down from 5 minutes.
* Other time formats are supported to, for example: 90s
for 90 seconds, 3h
for 3 hours and even 1d
for 1 day or 24 hours.
* !timer pause
to pause a timer.
* !timer resume
to resume a timer.
* !timer stop
to stop a timer and reset it to 0.
š” To control multiple timers, use a unique message pattern for each timer.
