This function manages a set of KVP keys and values to provide a method to queue events to occur in the future. If a form of the function is used that does not specify a Queue Parent or Procedure Index, the parent of the current MUDL script is used along with the current procedure index to store these values. Events that have been queued can be processed by the Queue Parent by periodically calling the timer_process_queue MUDL function.
Key Value Pairs
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| <Queue Name>_INDEX | An integer value that tracks the key name for the next queued element. |
| <Queue Name>_ELEMENT_<Number> | A specially formatted value containing a single element in the queue. Currently the value contains 5 entries separated by colons. |
Example
timer_add_event(%room, 0, 'MY_QUEUE', 300, %a, 'My Data')
