Buggy #suspend...
 
#alarm gives/ wrote:
Alarms:
+ CleanTwist: -24:00 -> #10 {at %random(1,100).twisted get twist;eat twist} [in 22:21]


It worked once before to do ...
#suspend {CleanTwist}
... in order to stop it. But now it has stopped working to stop the alarm.

I've tried these:
#suspend CleanTwist
#suspend "CleanTwist"
#suspend {CleanTwist}

And the wizard creates the {CleanTwist} version.

Anyone got a solution?

#SUSPEND works you just need to give your alarms an ID (its on the options tab for the alarm or use command line syntax)

#ALARM "ID_GOES_HERE" {-24:00} {do whatever}
#SUSPEND "ID_GOES_HERE"

Alternativly you can use the pattern
#SUSPEND -24:00

The alarm shown above was not something I did during this session but was reinitiated when I restarted zMUD. Apparently it lost it's ID since it was unable to use the ID again as I had used it before.

The way #alarm displays it is that it didn't show ID at all, regardless if it had one or not.

So the "CleanTwist" which was on the one before was in fact the Class name. I had totally forgotten that these were triggers so I just went into the trigger editor and gave back the ID to the alarm. However I use #T- instead to turn it off now since using #suspend seems very buggy.


Oh and coincidentally, that #suspend -24:00 didn't work either. Not with brackets or quotes. So the alarm was quite literally out of reach for the #suspend command.

Problem solved by using the trigger editor.
