A question about timers

[DarkMazer]

In EE 2.7, is it possible to check to see if a timer is running without waiting for it to execute?

For example:
I call a timer by pressing a hotkey, and it is set to run after 2 minutes.  After 1 minute, I want to check to see if the timer is running, and I want to check again 1 minute after the timer has already run and been removed.  Is this possible?

there is a command something like gettickcount or something.
its right in the timer tutorial in tutorials.
it will tell you the count until next run.

Thanks.  I can't find the tutorial, but that should be enough to get me started. 

Edit: I dug around the source code a bit, and found out that GetTickCount does something totally different, and it's not related to SadScript at all.  The command you were thinking of is GetTimer.  (Much easier name to remember, too.)

Edit 2: Apparently, there's also a ScriptGetTickCount in SadScript, but I'm not exactly sure what that does.  It returns the value of GetTickCount, which I think counts the time the server has been running, but don't take my word for it.

Thanks.  I guess I do learn something new every day.
