Need help with sub timers..

Ok...I just got sub timers down, thou I'm trying to make it so you can stack them. For instance say the code was for a dig command. If the player spammed it 10 times it would simply wait for the first sub_timer to finish, then move on to the next untill it's done all ten times. Or if the player spammed dig 10 times then typed save, it would correctly go through the dig sub timer ten times, then save...cant figure out how to do this kinda new to timers and all...but I have no ideas. Hope someone can shed some light on this for me, thanks.


edit- I tried to simply remove the return from sub_timer do abort like this:

case SUB_TIMER_DO_ABORT:
ch->substate = SUB_TIMER_CANT_ABORT;
//return;

..while the commands went through..they just spammed out quickly ignoring the timer portion.

Anyone with any ideas on this one?

I haven't done much with add_timer, but what you probably have to do is change how timers/substates are handled. It'll probably require changing the add_timer function and some others. Thats as much as I can think of right now.

..I figured as much, just needed to know a little past that. Guess I'll try to assign the timer that I need to know a type of number identifying them..and try to have the other functions work with that number instead of type...probably wont work but it's worth the try.

The problem, as I understand it, is that before the new timer is assigned during process of the command/skill, it first has to go through interp(), which is where the one command is interupted. Now, what you could do it have another type, something like TIMER_DO_FUN_MULTI, where if the original is of that type it is skipped when being disabled in interp, and then you could have the second one stack on top.
