Script to track game time
|
OK, the mud i play has every 1 minute = 15 seconds real time, i came up with this alarm to track the time, it works pretty well but it strays quite a bit. Can anyone tell me if theres anything wrong with the alarm or if its something else.
#alarm -(15|30|45|60) {#math minutes @minutes+1;#if (@minutes = 9) {#var minutes 09} {};#if (@minutes = 8) {#var minutes 08} {};#if (@minutes = 7) {#var minutes 07} {};#if (@minutes = 6) {#var minutes 06} {};#if (@minutes = 5) {#var minutes 05} {};#if (@minutes = 4) {#var minutes 04} {};#if (@minutes = 3) {#var minutes 03} {};#if (@minutes = 2) {#var minutes 02} {};#if (@minutes = 1) {#var minutes 01} {};#if (@minutes > 59) {#var minutes 00;#math hours @hours+1} {};#if (@hours > 12) {#if (@ampm = am) {#var ampm pm;#var hours 1} {};#if (@ampm = pm) {#var ampm am;#var hours 1} {}}}

Simplify.
#ALA -(15|30|45|0) {#ADD minutes 1;#IF (@minutes = 60) {#VAR minutes 0;#ADD hours 1;#IF (@hours = 12) {#IF (@ampm = am) {#VAR ampm pm} {#VAR ampm am}};#IF (@hours > 12) {#ADD hours -12}}
It's much easier to work with numbers if you just leave them as numbers. If you want to add leading zeros to the minutes, do it in the display script.

Okay for some reason the alarm isn't going off on second #15 ... i checked the trigger everything is typed correctly. After some expirimentation I figured out that its not going off on the first parameter, no matter what it is, I just put an extra value in there and it works fine now, but something tells me its not supposed to do that :P

Leading zeros can easily be added to a status line. Replace @minutes with:
%if(@minutes < 10, "0"@minutes, @minutes)
Actually, string lists don't seem to work for alarm times. Took a bit of testing before I found something that actually worked to my satisfaction:
#ALA clock2 -*15 {#SAY {Time is %time(hh:nn:ss)};#ADD minutes 1;#IF (@minutes = 60) {#VAR minutes 0;#ADD hours 1;#IF (@hours = 12) {#IF (@ampm = am) {#VAR ampm pm} {#VAR ampm am}};#IF (@hours > 12) {#ADD hours -12}}}
#STATUS {@hours:%if(@minutes < 10, "0"@minutes, @minutes) @ampm}
NOTES:
clock2 is just an ID to make deleting/replacing the alarm easier
The #SAY allowed me to tell when (if) the alarm was firing. Once testing is complete, it's not needed.
Added a missing } to the end of the alarm
-*15 is every 15 seconds of connect time
You could also use *15 which would be every 15 seconds of computer time. Since neither connect time nor computer time is synced to the MUD it shouldn't matter which you use.
