Code offering: Generic +reminders code
-
A friend asked me for this. I hope someone finds it useful. Ulterior motive: I have server/code questions. It's easier to get those answered when one has provided a suitable offering. I don't have a repository, so here you go.
Description/help file:
+remind <name|me> to <stuff>[ <in|every> [<X>] <days|weeks|months>] Examples: +remind me to Call Mom - will remind you every day +remind me to Howl at the moooon! every month +remind John to send that log in 3 days +reminders - Show all the reminders you have set. +reminder/view 1 - view reminder #1. +reminder/cancel 1 - get rid of reminder #1. +reminder/note 1=<stuff> - any notes you want the reminder to send you Notes: All reminders are sent at 2 AM. This code considers "a month" to be 28 days. Units of time that are not recognized will default to "days". Do not use this code for precision. Most third-party apps work better. Code notes: Required functions: header, footer, isstaff, alert Required objects: Cron object of some kind Required permissions: WIZARD due to attr reading/setting Limitations: Players can run out of space on themselves by setting a million reminders. Regrets: Did not code the display number to NOT be the ID. Credits: Melpomene@NOLA (melpomine@gmail.com|nola.mechanipus.com 2967)Note: game is still in development. Feel free to log in and whatnot, just don't be surprised it's not up.

This would actually be super useful for any game where there are wait times for XP spending and in general where you feel you need to be reminded. I am unsure regarding the ability to remind other people of things--mostly because I can see the possibility for abuse. Maybe if people could choose to accept being reminded by certain people. For example, I am okay with being reminded to do something by @Thenomain, but I'd never let @Eerie have that sort of control because she's totes cray.
Additionally, it would be more awesome if you could set the date to send the reminder on, instead of just 'in X [time value]'.

Feel free to extend it! The "remind <player> to <stuff>" command is staff-only, but players who get such reminders can view and cancel them if they like. Some people might not like that.
The other part of this code, which I have not yet scribbled up but which should be pretty simple, is a +autojob object. It automatically opens a job on a player's behalf every X <weeks|months>. Handy for blood bathers and whatnot I'm told. (What's holding me up on making that one: I find the syntax ugly. +autojob <player>=<stuff> in <X> <time period> - it just... reads... bad. I have other stuff to do so I will get around to it.)

@Melpomene, I can't really extend it because I know about as much about code as a llama knows about pasteurization. But it's good that you're opening it up for other coders to expand upon. It's a good idea.
