==Description== This script command works almost exactly like [[initnpctimer]], however calling this method does not reset the timer for the NPC. When called, it will resume the timer if it has been stopped using [[stopnpctimer]], and it will not reset the NPC timer tick to 0.

==Parameters== See [[initnpctimer#Parameters|initnpctimer]].

==Examples== * Start or stop an NPC timer using menus. [switch] ) { [[case]] 1: startnpctimer; [[end]];

 case 2:
      stopnpctimer;
      end;

}

[[OnTimer]]60000: [[announce]] "This will only ever be called once.", bc_all|bc_npc; end;
