Elf programming example #4 |

| Task: | This is a really common problem. Let's see what happens. You start sleeping. When the tick elapses, the mud sends to you several messages to inform you about the spells that are no longer active. It is easy to trap, with some triggers, such messages, but ther is a problem: you'll find find yourself unable to cast those spells, because you're sleeping! |
This task is very easy, yet powerful, for ELF.
We simply have to write the trigger that traps the message and casts the spell again.
The only other thing we need to set is the delay before activate value. Let's set it to 8 seconds... That's all!
When the trigger will be activated, the execution of related commands will be delayed for the specified number of seconds. It is likely that in the meantime you'll wake up, either manually or with some kind of trigger (see monitoring sleep).
Here is the necessary
programming for this task:
| trigger Refresh shield | |
| trigger | Your magic shield fades away happily. |
| flags | none |
| delay | 8 seconds |
| commands | cast 'shield' myname |
