Timbo Slice's IDOC Timer v1.00

Do you like to do IDOCs, but never seem to know when the house status changed from Greatly to IDOC nor when it is actually going to fall?  Then this is the script for you!  While simple in what it does, this script has proven invaluable for me, especially for getting more sleep than I might otherwise.  Basically, this script will keep you hidden while waiting for the house status to change to in danger of collapse.  After the status changes to IDOC, the menu will display the time and will log your character out, so when you next check your computer, you can know exactly when the status turned.  There isn't much more to it, but please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!

Thanks, I'm glad you had some success with this script! 

As for your suggestion, I had thought of having another script to do the multi-house checks as well, but discovered a number of possible problems with recalling around.  The biggest concern I had with it is the frequency of crashes I've had with recalling, which would end up giving no results instead of even just one useful time. 

Other issues are fairly easily resolved, such as needing to either have multiple loose runes or default set runebooks, but others may not be quite as simple to code, such as using multiple runes within one runebook (I've figured out how I might handle this, but it would require a little more coding than easier methods).  The timing of the recalls would also have to be determined, such as whether it would continuously recall around a loop or if it would loop through each rune, wait a set amount of time, then go through the loop again.  While either of these methods might work (although continuously recalling might be more than a little suspicious and would be much more susceptible to crashing), the delay might reduce the effectiveness of getting an "exact" time for the house going IDOC, and while the difference between knowing it turned at exactly 12:34:56am or sometime between 12:30:00 and 12:40:00 might not seem too significant, a larger gap or two houses with the same gap as the turning time might make it more difficult to know which house to camp first.

Of course, I might try something like this script anyway, not as a replacement or update to this one, but rather as a stand-alone script for getting approximate IDOC times, but as of right now, I would have to say this would not be a top priority for me, as I usually just have several clients open and run the script with each client if I need the times for more than one house each night.  I do thank you for the suggestion though, as it might give me ideas for future updates or completely new scripts!

I am testin the script out now and it detected the status properly (YAY! :) ) but the last toggle time stays the same as the start time for me... so i dont know if it is actively checking or not. I will see if the status changed in the morning and if it catches it.

Thanks for the script man!

EDIT: Nevermind, im just impatient :P the default timer is set to 600 seconds so it didnt update until it ran for 10 mins. I cut it down to 1 min and it appears to be working properly :)
