call_out(3) LPC Library Functions call_out(3) NAME call_out() - delayed function call in same object SYNOPSIS void call_out( string | function fun, int delay, mixed arg ); DESCRIPTION Set up a call of function <fun> in this_object(). The call will take place in <delay> seconds, with the argument <arg> provided. <arg> can be of any type. Please note that you can't rely on write() or say() in <fun> since this_player() is set to 0. Use tell_object() instead. The define THIS_PLAYER_IN_CALL_OUT exists to remedy the above problem. SEE ALSO remove_call_out(3), call_out_info(3) MudOS Last change: 5 Sep 1994 1
