reset()

[Austin Holloway]

In my mud, reset() is being called every 2s (heartbeat frequency).

I would like reset() to be called on an object upon creation (compat mode)

And reset(1) called every so often.

I can run command-line param such as:

--reset-time 120

But that only waits 120 ticks until reset is called the FIRST time, then it is called every 2s again after that.

Could be a bug in the code. While I savvy in LPC, my C skills are not as up-to-date and I don't know how the driver does the code so I can't see if there is a bug.

Is there a better way to do this on objects?

Thanks,

Austin

Hi Austin,

The driver will use the return value to determine the delay to the next
call:

        If the result of this call is a positive number, it is used as
        the interval to wait before the next reset(). If the result
        is 0, the default interval computed from TIME_TO_RESET is
        used. If the result is a negative number, the object will not
        be reset again, unless directed otherwise by set_next_reset().

(see https://github.com/ldmud/ldmud/blob/master/doc/hook/reset)

do you return 2 in your reset()? Or is it maybe called from heart_beat()
in your lib?

hth,
  Stephan
