timer
|
I play a ROM based mud that has a questing system built into it. When a quest is completed i get this message...
The questmaster says, "Congratulations on completing your quest!"
now I already have this triggered to have the command quest time entered in which replies with this message ...
You aren't currently on a quest.
There are x minutes remaining until you can go on another quest.
whereas x is any random number. I was wondering if there is a way to script this to automatically start the tick counter to count down and notify me when it is almost time to quest again. Any help you can provide would be most appreciated. Feel free to email or post if you need any more information. |

To use the Tick Timer set up a trigger like this
#TRIGGER {There are (%d) minutes remaining until you can go on another quest.} {#TS %eval(%1*60);#Timer 1}
You can set the Timer done commands, and time when the almost done message is sent in the
Wiew->Preferances->General then scroll down the list till you find 'Tick Timer'. This can also be set with parameters to the #TIMER command, the Help file explains it fairly well. |

It's usually better to do this sort of stuff with the #ALARM command.
