A timer that alerts the user of something to do at a certain time, should be fine. A timer that sends something to the MUD at a later date, is very probably not fine.
---
The code grep posted, I believe is used for two main aims:
1. rate-limit commands being sent to the mud by a user (so they aren't disconnected)
2. batch a group of commands being sent to the MUD (repetition).
Rather than using a timer to automate the command-sending, I'd encourage using the very easy repetition command and doing the work in blocks.
Something like:
Code:
#ALIAS BATCH {
#VAR command {"give berry fred"}
#VAR batch-counter {10}
#IF (@item-count < 1) {
#SAY None left.
}
#IF (@item-count < 10) {#VAR batch-counter @item-count}
#@batch-counter @command
#ADD @item-count {-@batch-counter}
}
(just off the top of my head - I didn't use zmud to verify the syntax above)
