<h1>Adding Weather messages to a Room<a class="headerlink" href="#adding-weather-messages-to-a-room" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
||
<p>This tutorial will have us create a simple weather system for our MUD. The way we want to use this is to have all outdoor rooms echo weather-related messages to the room at regular and semi-random intervals. Things like “Clouds gather above”, “It starts to rain” and so on.</p>
|
||
<p>One could imagine every outdoor room in the game having a script running on themselves that fires regularly. For this particular example it is however more efficient to do it another way, namely by using a “ticker-subscription” model.</p>
|
||
<p>The principle is simple: Instead of having each Object individually track the time, they instead subscribe to be called by a global ticker who handles time keeping. Not only does this centralize and organize much of the code in one place, it also has less computing overhead.</p>
|
||
<p>Evennia’s <a class="reference internal" href="../Components/TickerHandler.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">TickerHandler</span></a> specifically offers such a subscription model. We will use it for our weather system.</p>
|
||
<p>We will create a new WeatherRoom typeclass that is aware of the day-night cycle.</p>

</pre></div></td></tr></table></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>In the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">at_object_creation</span></code> method, we simply added ourselves to the TickerHandler and tell it to
|
||
call <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">at_weather_update</span></code> every hour (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">60*60</span></code> seconds). During testing you might want to play with a
|
||
shorter time duration.</p>
|
||
<p>For this to work we also create a custom hook <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">at_weather_update(*args,</span> <span class="pre">**kwargs)</span></code>, which is the
|
||
call sign required by TickerHandler hooks.</p>
|
||
<p>Henceforth the room will inform everyone inside it when the weather changes. This particular example
|
||
is of course very simplistic - the weather echoes are just randomly chosen and don’t care what
|
||
weather came before it. Expanding it to be more realistic is a useful exercise.</p>
