AdiIRC

It works as expected, you are starting the timer again because $sock(test) is $true on multiple /check triggers.

Please verify there is an actual adiirc bug before reporting.

This is a bug on AdiIRC and i am 100% sure about my report, when i coming here to report everytime i testing and comparing with mirc to validate that is equal, and here is not. it seems the /timer doesn't get closed when it forced to close.

Check in AdiIRC the timestamps (milliseconds) and see that the /timer there is never being closed and re-triggers.

A shorter and maybe a better examples:

; Execute > /start_test3
alias start_test3 {
  if ($fromeditbox) { set -e %start_test3 0 }

  echo -stg called $ctimer for $ord(%start_test3) time

  inc -e %start_test3 1

  timerfoo off
  timerfoo 0 1 start_test3 $rand(1,99999)
}

Or this one:

alias start_test {
  echo -st /start_test

  echo -st /start_test > starting the check timer.
  .timer[ONE_TESTING_TIMER] 0 10 check

  sockclose test
  sockopen -e test google.com 443
}

alias check {
  echo -st /check

  echo -st /check > closing the [ONE_TESTING_TIMER]
  .timer[ONE_TESTING_TIMER] off

  if ($sock(test)) {
    echo -st /check > creating [ONE_TESTING_TIMER]
    .timer[ONE_TESTING_TIMER] 0 10 check

    echo -st /check > executing /cmd
    cmd 

    return
  }

  echo -st Socket test is closed.
}

alias cmd { echo -at /cmd }

And an example without sockets

alias start_test {
  echo -st /start_test > start

  echo -st /start_test > starting [ONE_TESTING_TIMER]
  .timer[ONE_TESTING_TIMER] 0 10 check

  set -e %test 1
}

alias check {
  echo -st /check > start

  echo -st /check > closing [ONE_TESTING_TIMER]
  .timer[ONE_TESTING_TIMER] off

  if (%test) {
    echo -st /check > creating [ONE_TESTING_TIMER]
    .timer[ONE_TESTING_TIMER] 0 10 check

    echo -st /check > executing /cmd
    cmd 

    return
  }

  echo -st /check > end
}

alias cmd { echo -at /cmd > called }

maroon gave an example that works.
