I'm trying to create a timer that will log me into the world at a specific time, keep me on for a certain period, then disconnect me again.

Every timer I've tried so far just sends to the screen without actually connecting me.

I'm not great with scripting, so any help would be very gratefully received.

Thanks

Check out these two script functions:

Just set up two timers set to go off at a specific time of day. One for connecting, and another for disconnecting.

For the one that connects, make sure you check the box "active when disconnected", or it won't go off.

The one to disconnect should be ultra easy, I have one myself to disconnect me in the morning by sending QUIT, the only problem might be if you have the Reconnecter Plugin running.

The version of Reconnecter.xml on the plugin page matches the word "QUIT" in capital letters to actually quit without reconnection. Since this is version 1.0, I think it should work like that for anyone who has downloaded it before. You might have to use Execute( "QUIT" ) instead of Disconnect(), but it will work.
