How to make delays between multiple commands in an alias (ircII)?
Okay so I have an alias that looks like this:

Code:
ALIAS gscn {
MSG gscn Test1
MSG gscn Test2
MSG gscn Test3
MSG gscn Test4
MSG gscn Test5
}

How do I make it wait 5 seconds between each command before it executes the next one after that in order from top to bottom? I tried the TIMER command like this:

Code:
ALIAS gscn {
MSG gscn Test1
TIMER 5 MSG gscn Test2
TIMER 5 MSG gscn Test3
TIMER 5 MSG gscn Test4
TIMER 5 MSG gscn Test5
}

But all it does is wait 5 seconds after the first MSG, then send the rest of the MSGs instantly all at once like it usually does.
