How do I get Cron to display multiple messages at different intervals? Here is my current code. How can I change the code to have it do this?

This may sound silly, but why not just use the !rtimer? Or is that not available in AoC?

::::: HELP ON RTIMER :::::

Setting and removing of timers..

!rtimer [class] <dur>[mshd] <repeat>[mshd] title - Adds a repeating timer for <dur> minutes (m), seconds (s), hours (h) or days (d). If no time unit is added it's <dur> seconds. <rep> is the time between repetitions of the timer, the same rules as for <dur> apply. [class] is an optional parameter defining which timer class to use.
!rtimer [class] <dur>[:##[:##[:##]]] <repeat>[:##[:##[:##]]] title - Adds a timer using the format days:hours:minutes:seconds, with the lowest time unit always being seconds (so 1:20 means 1min 20secs, 1:03:05 means 1hour 3mins 5secs). On every : there have to follow exactly two numbers. You don't have to enter all numbers. <rep> is the time between repetitions of the timer, the same rules as for <dur> apply. [class] is an optional parameter defining which timer class to use.

Thanks, I'll try using this. Although the last time I tried !rtimer, I couldn't delete the message. and it got really annoying.
Thanks again for the reply!

Kyr · « **Reply #3 on:** September 06, 2011, 11:13:02 pm »

I have played around with !rtimer. I was never able to get it to do what I wanted.

seknetari · « **Reply #4 on:** September 07, 2011, 04:19:52 am »

Can you give me an example of how the command would look please?

Where does the message go? Is that the [class]?

I appreciate the attempts to help, but the link really didn't help me out. I have a message being broadcast fine. I would like to know exactly how to add multiple messages to Cron.

I would actually prefer to use !timer (or is it !rtimer?) to display messages, such as upcoming guild activities in our guild chat channel. I have looked all around the forums and I cannot find a thread on how to use !timer. I have gone over the help info and I am still left confused. Is !timer even meant to run messages? What is [class] for in the !timer command? I haven't been able to find out what classes are possible to use, let alone what they do. I even went through the AO forums with no success.

It boils down to this, aside from Cron, is there a way for Bebot to have the same message displayed in guild chat every 90 minutes? If so, how is it done? Please give me an example of the command line too.

Thank you again for trying to help me.

Shelly · « **Reply #7 on:** September 24, 2011, 06:06:43 am »

Try this:

/tell <yourbot> !rtimer 90m repeat 90m "This is an announcement that will happen every 90 minutes until canceled."

seknetari · « **Reply #8 on:** September 24, 2011, 02:14:31 pm »

I'll try it out.

seknetari · « **Reply #9 on:** September 24, 2011, 02:43:45 pm »

The format of your command was a little off. I put this in and Bebot accepted it:

"!rtimer repeat 20m 5m This is a test announcement that will happen every 5 minutes until canceled."

I put everything between the quotes, as is, as a command. Bebot spit back:

"[Guild] [MyBot]: Timer This is a test announcement that will happen every 5 minutes until canceled. with 00:20:00 runtime started! The timer has a repeat interval of 00:05:00"

I thought it would work. No, it didn't. The announcement was never made. Now I am trying:
"!rtimer repeat 5m 5m This is a second test announcement that will happen every 5 minutes until canceled."

I will update soon.

seknetari · « **Reply #10 on:** September 24, 2011, 03:23:22 pm »

Failed.

I then tried...
"!rtimer guild 5m 5m This is a third test announcement that will happen every 5 minutes until canceled."

This also failed.

The command is accepted, but it never shows up in guild chat. None of the commands have shown up in guild chat. I have ended up deleting the messages using !timer. So everything SEEMS to be working correctly, except that I haven't gotten the TITLE (message) to show up in guild chat.

How do I get my messages to show up in guild chat using !rtimer?

Shelly · « **Reply #11 on:** September 24, 2011, 07:28:53 pm »

Did you do "!rtimer 2m 2m This is a test of the repeating timer." In your org chat? Seems it takes the originating channel and uses that.

Or try:
!rtimer Global 2m 2m This is a test of the global repeating timer.

This one should work from a tell or any channel.

You may also want to look at your "/tell <yourbot> !settings Timer"

Notes on Timer Settings:

Code: [Select]

DefaultClass:  Standard
  Description: Which is the name of the default class to use for timers if no other is specified?
/tell <yourbot> !set Timer DefaultClass <new value>
* There is also a LowSpam setting that produces less output.

DeleteRank:  ADMIN
  Description: Minimal access level to remove timer of other players.
  Change to: [ ANONYMOUS | GUEST | MEMBER | LEADER | ADMIN | SUPERADMIN | OWNER ]

Global:  Off
  Description: Are all timers global? Notices for global timers are sent both to guild chat and private group. Global timers are listed in every timer listing too.
  Change to: [ On | Off ]

GuestChannel:  origin
  Description: Should an timer started in guestchannel or org-chat show up in both those channels or just in the channel of origin?
  Change to: [ both | origin ]

MinRepeatInterval:  30
  Description: What's the minimal repeat interval for repeating timers (in seconds)? This is used to prevent annoying spam.
  Change to: [ 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 45 | 60 ]

RecoveryCheckInterval:  10
  Description: How many minutes should pass between each check to recover after a database failures?
  Change to: [ 5 | 10 | 15 | 30 | 45 | 60 ]

Relay:  Off
  Description: Should new timer be relayed to all relay bots using the established relay network (See module/Relay.php for more informations about relaying)?
  Change to: [ On | Off ]

I tried all of that, and nothing. I turned everything on in settings and still no difference. Bebot accepts the message. It is logged in under !timers. The problem is that it doesn't display in guild chat channel. It doesn't display anywhere. I may just start the bot off from the start again??

Shelly · « **Reply #13 on:** September 25, 2011, 10:24:25 pm »

That sounds like it might be wise. Though I don't have AoC bots, the code is the same for org/guild channel. And it works in my bots.

Make sure your Bot "character" is a member of your org/guild would be my only other suggestion and recheck your settings in your "<bothome>/conf/Bot.conf" file.

seknetari · « **Reply #14 on:** September 26, 2011, 11:59:04 am »

The bot works fine except for the rtimer command. I'm getting an old dell computer that I may run as a linux server for bebot. I would like for it to run so that the bot would start itself when the computer starts. This way if there is a power outage, it will come back online automatically. I'm hoping that can be done. Thanks for trying to help Shelly.
