Hello,

I am an absolute moron when it comes to coding, so I need some serious help. Would someone be kind enough to write a script for me that would execute the command "who" every ten minutes?

And could you tell me how to implement it?

I don't know why, but when it comes to programming of any kind, it eludes me.

Thanks very much,

You are looking for an alarm trigger.

#ALARM TenMinuteWhoTrigger *10:00 {who}

Depending how you want to control it.. how about 2 aliases:

#alias onwho {#T+ TenMinuteWhoTrigger;#SH TenMinuteWhoTrigger On}
#alias offwho {#T- TenMinuteWhoTrigger;#SH TenMinuteWhoTrigger Off}

Hey, that's wonderful, it works beautifully. Now, is there any way that I can have that script load automatically when I load that MUD?

Thanks,

It should be a part of your settings now, and will always be there unless you delete it.

put the trigger in a class folder say "AutoWho", then set that class to enable on connect... use this alias instead:

#alias autowho {#IF {%1=on} {#CLASS AutoWho 1;#SH TenMinuteWhoTrigger On} {#CLASS AutoWho 0;#SH TenMinuteWhoTrigger Off}}

Use the alias to manually turn it on and off.
useage: autowho <on|off>

Thanks, I'll try that. I'm a little lost as to exactly where the triggers and aliases go, however. (See "coding moron" above.)

Just paste it into the command line. You can then see the result in the settings, when you click on triggers/aliases etc

Oh, alright. Thanks very much to everybody who's helped out here. Finally, I'm not getting dumped off the MUSH anymore!

Okay, wait, I'm still managing to screw things up. I've opened up "Classes" and went to the "Class Script" tab and copied the trigger into it. But everytime I hit "Save" it erases the trigger and goes back to being a blank script.

What am I doing wrong this time?

Thanks,
