Nemesis bulletin boards: Documentation bulletin board, note 19

There is new support for time-dependent objects. Time-dependent objects are
objects that perform a certain action at certain times. At the moment there
is only support for full hours, but this will be changed if necessary.
To create a time-depentent object, do the following:

inherit "obj/timedep";

reset(arg) {
    if (!clonep()) return; // not for rooms
    ::reset(arg);
    /* add your onw reset stuff here */
}

If you want to be notified at a certain hour, just do

    call_at(<hour>, <function>);

Function <function> will be called, if it is <hour> o'clock Nemesis time.
Note that you have to renew the call_at, if you want to have that call every
day. The object will selfcorrect, if Nemesis time changes abnormally.

Examples of time-dependent objects are located in /lib/obj:

clock.c:    A grandfather clock that bongs each Nemesis hour.
timebomb.c: A timebomb that explodes at a triggered time.

Have fun, and tell me your ideas about time-dependent objects.
