Anyway to make an alarm that doesn't delete itself after if fires?
I'm trying to make one that will fire every 1800000. Without using the tick timer. |

| Code: |
#alarm "PermAlarm" {*1800000} {#say Fired.}
|
* means that its a permanent alarm that doesn't disappear after being activated once. You can turn it off though, using either some name (used PermAlarm here) or just the number part. #t-/+ PermAlarm. #t-/+ *1800000.

Every 1800000 what? By my calculations a 1800000 second alarm takes almost 21 days to fire twice - how do you know it's not working? If you meant 1800000ms as is common with other systems, you should use a value of 1800.

well even 1800000 would be a viable time on my mud because of certain rarities and what not, but you are correct 1800 is the right one.
So if I want a button to enable/disable it, it would go like this?
#BUTTON 24 {PermAlarm OFF} {#Class PermAlarm 1} {PermAlarm ON} {#class PermAlarm 0} {} {1} {} {Size} {75} {23} {} {} {} {14} {12} {} {} "" {} {} {}
#class PermAlarm
#alarm "PermAlarm" {*1800000} {execute a long list of annoying commands that no one cares to read} |

Use the #suspend and #resume commands, or #t+ and #t- with the ID of the alarm.
