I have recently been looking through the reference.xml file and I came across a command that returns a string giving the time in hh:mm:ss. This has helped me a lot because I have a tendency to lose track of time easily.
The script that I am currently using is very short and goes like this:
bind 9 [echo (timestring)]
This makes it so that whenever I press "9", it returns the current time in the format "23:23:53". I would like some help with getting to know how I would be able to have this "echo (timestring)" command be executed every two minutes because I am still very new to using cubescript.

It is completed, but I would like to thank IAF|Lucas for helping me through my noobyness when it comes to cubescript. I was still used to making infinite loops like I do in python with something like
i = 0
while i == 0:
command
Of course that didn't work, but here's the script. Just put it into your autoexec.cfg file.
alias Habluka [ //Go ahead and call me vain
echo (timestring) //
; sleep 60000 [ //I would like to thank IAF|Lucas for
Habluka //helping me with my cubescript n00biness
]
]

That was a stupid mistake. I forgot to change the one small part. It should be fixed now
edit: also, you need to type in /Habluka or bind it to a key to start it.

apart from the obvious error where it runs 'minutely' and not 'Habluka', the command seems to not repeat on opening the game. If you run /Habluka ingame, it works right. So, I suggest
alias echotime [ echo (timestring); bind MOUSE1 attack; sleep 10000 [ echotime ] ]
bind MOUSE1 [attack; echotime]
In which, after shooting once, it will be triggered, and then rebinded so it doesn't activate it again.

Actually... You will find it stops working once the map changes, or you connect to a server. This is because script loops are reset on changing the map. To overcome this, put your commands into the alias mapstartonce and manually loop "mapstartonce" in the script, probably using a menu or another native alias, "sbconnect", to perpetuate your scripts. This will make it so it activates automatically when you join a server through the server browser.
uh.
Let me help you with that...

I think this was a good post. It shows the true power of community work. What started out as just an idea eventually, with the input of several people, became fully functional and in a way, better than the original idea. This is why I love these forums.
