Queue

[Seth Ventril]

Not sure how hard this would be to code (probably very difficult) or how good a suggestion this is (for this type of game), but while thinking about Neverwinter Nights and detailing a plaque I made, I was thinking about a queue option/command for Haelrahv.

For example, I knew exactly what I wanted to detail on my plaque:
An S overlapping a Y is etched on this plaque.

Now me being the kind of person who types ahead the next command before the first commands RT is over, I thought if I could do this:
detail plaque with An
>you detai yada yada
rt 4
detail plaque with S
>you yada yada
rt 6
detail plaque with overlapping
>yada yada
rt 20
>queue detail plaque with a
>queue detail plaque with Y
etc etc

It would work by storing the commands in a small database (Maybe 3-4 commands total at a time) and each queued command would take place either when specified (Turned on/off via settings? Or a command setting?) or immediately after the current roundtime. Kind of like scripting, but I think this would be more useful for random things, such as detailing/inscribing, box picking, etc.

It would actually be pretty difficult to implement. Possible, but difficult. I can see it potentially causing a number of small but noticable technical problems too since Haelrahv, unlike many MUDs, actually processes commands in such a way that commands can be processed out of the order they were sent in, etc (i.e. we often pause part of a command's reaction for one reason or another).
