I've set up some msgplus timers to automatically send voice clips to my contacts, and I want to be able to cancel them by sending a command.  This is a portion of the script:

quote:

---

var ChatWnds = new Array();
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
if(Message == "!s"){
ChatWnd.SendMessage("/vc 15");
ChatWnds[ChatWnds.length-1] = ChatWnd;
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay1"+[ChatWnds.length-1], 15300);
}
}

function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId){
switch(TimerId.substr(0,6)){
case "Delay1":
ChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay2"+[TimerId.substr(6)], 15300);
break;
case "Delay2":
ChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
}
}

---

So, how would I be able to properly call the syntax
MsgPlus.CancelTimer("Delay1"+[ChatWnds.length-1], 15300);
by using a message command? 

I've tried several things such as else if but they have only rendered the script unusable.  I'm completely out of ideas and can't find any help in the documentation.

MsgPlus.CancelTimer only accepts 1 parameter... The name of the timer to cancel.

So, it would be like this?

MsgPlus.CancelTimer("Delay1"+[ChatWnds.length-1]);

I've used that instead, but it still is not working...

Clearly, I must be doing something wrong with triggering the command with a message, because those syntaxes work fine without the message command.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

quote:

---

var ChatWnds = new Array();
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
if(Message == "!s"){
ChatWnd.SendMessage("/vc 15");
ChatWnds[ChatWnds.length-1] = ChatWnd;
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay1"+[ChatWnds.length-1], 15300);
else if(Message == "!q"){
MsgPlus.CancelTimer("Delay1"+[ChatWnds.length-1]);

---

What's the proper way to trigger this command with a received message?

the way you use the array is wrong...
you should call it like:

code:

---

MsgPlus.CancelTimer("Delay1"+ChatWnds.length-1);

---

should work...

Yes, that does work.  But I need a received message to trigger it, just like how "!s" will trigger the array and timer.

code:

---

var aChatWnds = new Array();
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
   if(Message == "!s"){
      ChatWnd.SendMessage("/vc 15");
      aChatWnds[aChatWnds.length-1] = ChatWnd;
      MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay1"+[aChatWnds.length-1], 15300);
   else if(Message == "!q"){
      MsgPlus.CancelTimer("Delay1"+aChatWnds.length-1);
   }
}

I've also changed the ChatWnds name to aChatWnds, because MP!L uses that name. That should work, maybe we are handling wrong with the arrays, don't know.. If it does not work, give me the error.

It is still not working.  Here's the complete script with your ammendments:

quote:

---

var aChatWnds = new Array();
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
if(Message == "!s"){
ChatWnd.SendMessage("/vc 15");
aChatWnds[aChatWnds.length-1] = ChatWnd;
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay1"+[aChatWnds.length-1], 15300);
else if(Message == "!q"){
MsgPlus.CancelTimer("Delay1"+aChatWnds.length-1);
}
}

function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId){
switch(TimerId.substr(0,6)){
case "Delay1":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay2"+[TimerId.substr(6)], 15200);
break;
case "Delay2":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay3"+[TimerId.substr(6)], 15200);
break;
case "Delay3":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay4"+[TimerId.substr(6)], 15200);
break;
case "Delay4":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay5"+[TimerId.substr(6)], 15200);
break;
case "Delay5":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay6"+[TimerId.substr(6)], 15200);
break;
case "Delay6":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay7"+[TimerId.substr(6)], 15200);
break;
case "Delay7":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay8"+[TimerId.substr(6)], 15200);
break;
case "Delay8":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay9"+[TimerId.substr(6)], 15200);
break;
case "Delay9":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay10"+[TimerId.substr(6)], 15200);
break;
case "Delay10":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
break;
}
}

This has only rendered the script unusable.  Perhaps I should debug this?

you didn't fix the mistake when you create the timer...

code:

---

aChatWnds[aChatWnds.length-1] = ChatWnd;
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay1"+aChatWnds.length-1, 15300);
else if(Message == "!q"){

---

you used the [] again...

I fixed that error, but it is still not working...

quote:

---

var aChatWnds = new Array();
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
if(Message == "!s"){
ChatWnd.SendMessage("/vc 15");
aChatWnds[aChatWnds.length-1] = ChatWnd;
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay1"+aChatWnds.length-1, 15300);
else if(Message == "!q"){
MsgPlus.CancelTimer("Delay1"+aChatWnds.length-1);
}
}

function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId){
switch(TimerId.substr(0,6)){
case "Delay1":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("Delay2"+TimerId.substr(6), 15200);
break;
case "Delay2":
aChatWnds[TimerId.substr(6)].SendMessage("/vc 15");
