Hello everyone,
I'm working on trying to find a way to cause a delay to occur so that a specific portion of my code is not run until X seconds later. I want it to simulate the player taking their time to perform the task and not have an instant success/failure, as well as if the player leaves the room that enqueued task will be canceled.
So far I've looked into adding the SCMD_DELAY event noted in
www.circlemud.org/pub/CircleMUD/contrib/...ets/utils/events.txt
, however it looks like it doesn't support canceling the task if something changes (such as a player leaving the room). This also may have been deprecated in favor of dg_events.
My thought right now is to look over the whirlwind event and get a better idea of how it works, then begin writing the event I want. My question for the board here is if this is the best way to do what I'm trying to do, or if there's an alternate way I've completely missed.
Thanks,
K
