Hey folks, new to this forum and new to zmud.

Got a pretty tricky part I could use a hand with.

Below u see a common MUME (multi-users middle-earth) info (character) message

You are a male Black Númenórean.
You are X years, X months and X days old.
You have played X days and X hours (real time). Session: X min.
This ranks you as X the Black Númenórean Priest (level X).
You are five feet eleven and weigh twelve stone and eight pounds.
Perception: vision 40, hearing 20, smell 5. Alertness: normal.
You are totally corrupted by the Evilness of Morgoth!
You are welcome in Tharbad.
Your equipment weighs X pounds. Heavy, but we will manage...
Your base abilities are: Str:X Int:X Wis:X Dex:X Con:X Wil:X Per:X.
Offensive Bonus: X, Dodging Bonus: X, Parrying Bonus: X.
Your armour provides an average protection of X.
You have X hit, X mana, and X movement points.
Your mood is wimpy. You will fight to the death.
You have scored X experience points and you have X travel points.

You are speaking Orkish.
You will swim if necessary.
You will try to climb even under unsafe conditions.

You are subjected to the following temporary effects:
- depression
- armour

------END-------

Sorry for spam here fellows, I´ve X-marked all personal stats etc for this test model.
What I am looking to fix is a TIMER that counts the "temporary effects:" you see above.
The - armour is a spell.
When u cast this spell the mud show u the message "A blue transparent wall slowly appears around you."
On that message I´ve tried the timer to start (counting from 0 -X minutes)

When the spell drops u get the message "You feel less protected" - Here I would like the timer to reset to 0

Now that is the easy part, problem that I cannot get solved is the following below.

You are subjected to the following temporary effects:
- depression
- armour (2:38) < - - - - - - - They spell has been active for 2 minutes and 38 secs. But I cannot get the (2:38) message to get shown under info (character info) and under the message "You are subjected to .. ... .. "etc etc.
As well as when the spell drop I´ve tried this

EX. #tr {You feel less protected} {#gag;sh - ARMOUR DOWN -}
but trying to apply a - ARMOUR DOWN - (2:39) <- - - - - message when timer stops to the #sh command, still keeps me puzzled.

If any1 have any suggestions or could help me out on this I would be eternaly greatful.
I am an old Powtty user and got a script for it, if any1 good in translating powtty to zmud.

Finally I pardon my english but been scripting for the last 8 hrs without succes and I think my brain-functions are running on a quarter of it´s normal power ;)

Two things - You really need to watch your language here, and you need to post this in the zMUD forum, not the Finished Scripts forum. Other than that, welcome to zMUD.
