SCAR timer?

Well I thought the other day why doesn't SCAR have like a timer for it to start the script. I know u can kill scripts after a certain time. So wouldn't it be cool if say u setup up 2 scripts each on a different scar and left them overnight. If you told one to cancel after three hours and while that scripts going have a countdown time for maybe 3 hours and 30 mins on the other script so basically when the first one finishes the second one starts….sure you could do this with waits I guess but I'd rather not figure out how many milliseconds are in 3 hours :s and ftwait wouldn't be much better….just an idea

InterScarMessage() would do the trick. The thing is, you have to leave 'em both running at the same time which is kinda f*cked up because having to start 50 scripts simultaneously is kinda hard.

You could even go so far as to make a 'control script' that starts and stops certain scar scripts. With tabbed scripts in divi, this shouldn't be too hard to make.
