Timers calling functions

Can someone possibly post an example showing how to get a timer to directly call a function in a lua script?

I'm clearly doing something wrong. I'd like to not have to resort to sending an alias to get the function to be called.

Thanks in advance. :)

I have a video about scripting.

You have two basic choices:

• Use “send to script” in the timer and put your script code in the “send” box. This can directly do things, or call functions.

• Leave the “send” box blank and put the name of a function in the “Script” box of the timer. Then that function needs to be implemented in a script file which is associated with that world file in the World Configuration -> Scripting -> Scripts configuration dialog.

Thanks Nick!
