Waits for the given number of seconds and then executes the command. This is done without hindering normal operation of the client. Any number of timers can be set at once, and all will activate at the appropriate time.
timer with arguments will list pending timers.
timer -refnum <num>
will assign a specific number to that action allowing you
to delete it later if necessary with
timer -delete <num>
If no refnum is specified, one is automatically assigned.
Example:
/timer 5.3 echo test
Echoes "test" after 5.3 seconds.
Notice about escaping:
If you want multiple commands in your timer, you
must separate them with semicolon (;).
In script, that would be:
timer 5 echo test1\;echo test2
This is the same as with /on, /alias and all other
commands that take a command parameter.
