<p>TickerHandler</p>
<p>This implements an efficient Ticker which uses a subscription
model to ‘tick’ subscribed objects at regular intervals.</p>
<p>The ticker mechanism is used by importing and accessing
the instantiated TICKER_HANDLER instance in this module. This
instance is run by the server; it will save its status across
server reloads and be started automaticall on boot.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">evennia.scripts.tickerhandler</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">TICKER_HANDLER</span>
<span class="c1"># call tick myobj.at_tick(*args, **kwargs) every 15 seconds</span>
<span class="n">TICKER_HANDLER</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">add</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">15</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">myobj</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">at_tick</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="o">*</span><span class="n">args</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="o">**</span><span class="n">kwargs</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You supply the interval to tick and a callable to call regularly with
any extra args/kwargs. The callable should either be a stand-alone
function in a module <em>or</em> the method on a <em>typeclassed</em> entity (that
is, on an object that can be safely and stably returned from the
database). Functions that are dynamically created or sits on
in-memory objects cannot be used by the tickerhandler (there is no way
to reference them safely across reboots and saves).</p>
<p>The handler will transparently set
up and add new timers behind the scenes to tick at given intervals,
using a TickerPool - all callables with the same interval will share
the interval ticker.</p>
<p>To remove:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">TICKER_HANDLER</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">remove</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">15</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">myobj</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">at_tick</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Both interval and callable must be given since a single object can be subscribed
to many different tickers at the same time. You can also supply <strong>idstring</strong>
as an identifying string if you ever want to tick the callable at the same interval
but with different arguments (args/kwargs are not used for identifying the ticker). There
is also <strong>persistent=False</strong> if you don’t want to make a ticker that don’t survive a reload.
If either or both <strong>idstring</strong> or <strong>persistent</strong> has been changed from their defaults, they
must be supplied to the <strong>TICKER_HANDLER.remove</strong> call to properly identify the ticker
to remove.</p>
<p>The TickerHandler’s functionality can be overloaded by modifying the
Ticker class and then changing TickerPool and TickerHandler to use the
custom classes</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">MyTicker</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Ticker</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="c1"># [doing custom stuff]</span>
<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">MyTickerPool</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">TickerPool</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="n">ticker_class</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">MyTicker</span>
<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">MyTickerHandler</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">TickerHandler</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="n">ticker_pool_class</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">MyTickerPool</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If one wants to duplicate TICKER_HANDLER’s auto-saving feature in
a custom handler one can make a custom <strong>AT_STARTSTOP_MODULE</strong> entry to
call the handler’s <strong>save()</strong> and <strong>restore()</strong> methods when the server reboots.</p>
