How to set alarm 8 hours from now?

[Spam Bus]

I was just wondering how this can be done in tasker?

to set an alarm for 8 hours from whatever the current time is

[easiuser]

Variable Set %temp to %TIME + 8 if %TIME < 16 (tick do math)

Variable Set %temp to %TIME - 15 if %TIME >= 16 (tick do math)

Variable Split %temp, splitter .  (the spltter is a period)

Set Alarm Hours %temp1, Minutes %temp2

thanx, but that doesn't work correctly, it creates an alarm 8 hours and 59 minutes from my current time

You may want to look at using the App > Start System Timer action, if it's available on your device.

Don't know what you did but this will flash the current time and alarm time.  They are exaclty 8 hours apart:

 

SetNewAlarm (43)
 A1: Variable Set [ Name:%temp To:%TIME+8 Do Maths:On Append:Off ] If [ %TIME < 16 ]
 A2: Variable Set [ Name:%temp To:%TIME-15 Do Maths:On Append:Off ] If [ %TIME > 16 | %TIME = 16 ]
 A3: Variable Split [ Name:%temp Splitter:. Delete Base:Off ]
 A4: Flash [ Text:Current time = %TIME
Alarm time = %temp1:%temp2 Long:On ]

your xml file is exactly the same as I allready created it from your first post and still it sets an alarm 8 hours and 59 minutes from now, instead of 8 hours
