scriptVersion: The version of your script, decimals are supported but NO letters.
scriptUpdateText: The text shown to users when they hit the "more info" link in the alert.

my personal minimum requirements
1. a delay between version checks
Possibly done by setting the script to check next at 12PM (Noon) of the next day, by checking local time. This causes
2. 3 options once an upgrade has been found, to "Upgrade, Delay, Stop Alerts"
make sure to include the version number in the delay, so that when you upgrade that particular script.. the "stop alerts" function is reset
this is probably not the way to go, but.. GM_setValue('delay','version||time_of_update')

the delay preferably using a GM_setValue

i suppose that would call for scanning itself for its own header, and splicing a version number, as well as a direct link to the script's own url.
but i wont/cant use this without an embedded delay of 24 hours

@InsaneNinja
Hey, I wanted to use the variables at the top of the script, but as far as I know it's not possible to "use them" in your script. Am I right in saying that?
Because I have to be able to compare the found script_version variable to the one found in the script here at UserScripts.org
I also need to use the script_num and script_name variables..
Any way for me to use them when they are set as
// @version 1
or something like that ?

and theres a typo.. it says desciption
