Syntax

• [Startnpctimer] {<attach flag>};
• [Startnpctimer] {"<NPC name>"};
• [Startnpctimer] {"<NPC name>"{, <attach flag>}};

Description

This script command works almost exactly like [Initnpctimer], however
calling this method does not reset the timer for the NPC. When called, it will
resume the timer if it has been stopped using [Stopnpctimer], and it will
not reset the NPC timer tick to 0.

Parameters

See initnpctimer#Parameters.

Examples

• Start or stop an NPC timer using menus.

  Switch
  {
  [Case] 1:
  startnpctimer;
  [End];

  case 2:
       stopnpctimer;
       end;
  

  }

  [OnTimer]60000:
  [Announce] "This will only ever be called once.", bc_all|bc_npc;
  end;
