my recent wish (totally not possible atm): enumerate timers...

at the moment there is no way to retrieve/ check what times are running. If there was a way to determine this, developpers can more easly (and more elagant) check for important things like timers which are still running when another user signs in (common mistake to make in scripts which use timers).

example of workaround (which I actually turned into a 'feature', see disclaimer) and more notes about this in my script nudge flood protection.


EDIT: and while at it, a function to see how many time (in ms) there is left for a specific timer.

If you want to be creative using global variables you can check the first one about if a timer is currently in use (though there will be a very small amount of time either side where it will still say that it is being used), though it would be good for us to be able to check rather than have to rely on extra variables.  Though the second one would become very useful i think.

I would also like the ability to have received messages longer than the original would be nice (though this might be set by messenger, I should do some research....).  Or even being able to edit the text that appears to make it into a set colour, font, bolding, italic, etc. as this is the main reason behind me wanting to be able to lengthen messages.
