You need an event system. I'm sure you can get a basic code off a code
repository, or you can write your own. Basicly you'd need a data structure
that would hold the string you want to output, how long it'll be delayed, to
whom its being sent, maybe from whom if you want to use an act function and
have valid $N arguments. Then add a new field in update_handler() to deal
with the delays, and execute them. I've got one somewhere that I apsolutly
love, if you want it, I'm sure I could releace it. But, keep in mind, its
built for a MercNet server which is basicly just sockets codes. Its all
custom really, but hey! It's probably easy to port over considering I use
most the same syntax as ROM muds as its what I was brought up on. You can
AIM me at DavionKalhen, or ICQ me at 63765684. I can send you the file
directly that way, even aid in some debugging ;) Have a good one

Subject: Visible Delays
Date: Tue, 18 May 2004 10:29:09 +0000
Hello Everyone.
I want to add visible delays but my english is so bad and it's so
complicated function then I have to give some extra examples. The visible
delay means that when player got delay then he saw points.
For example:
cast 'armor'
You begin to utter some strange incantations...
You feel someone protecting you.
........ <--- and now these are points.
But the points dosen't appear together. They appear alone. Each point per
pulse. For example:
if character got delay with 4 pulse.
. <-- this is the first pulse
. <-- when first pulse ends comes to second point
. <-- when second pulse ends comes to third point
. <-- when third pulse ends come to fourth point etc.
Hmm... Just like when you start windows and then sometimes comes text
Checking hard disk...................................... <--- these points
don't appear together too, each point appear if previous are appearead.
I hope you got this IDEA :). If you don't then it is my fault, because I
hate my english!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
