Tick.tf

A modified tick.tf. It's backwards compatible with tick.tf as found in tflib. Changes are in the comments below.

It also provides a means to other scripts to have something executed on the tick. See tick_exe in the script, or affects.tf for a usage example of this.

;;;; Tick counting
;;;; This file implements several tick counting commands similar to those
;;;; found in tintin, useful on Diku muds.

;;;; usage:
/echo -aCyellow %% /tick                 Display the time remaining until next tick
/echo -aCyellow %% /tickon               Reset and start the tick counter
/echo -aCyellow %% /tickoff              Stop the tick counter
/echo -aCyellow %% /tickset              Reset and start the tick counter
/echo -aCyellow %% /ticksize <n>         Set the tick length to <n> seconds (default is 28.45)
/echo -aCyellow %% /tickshow             Toggle tick messages
/echo -aCyellow %% /tick+                Increase the ticksize with 0.05 seconds
/echo -aCyellow %% /tick-                Decrease the ticksize with 0.05 seconds

;;;; This is a modified version of tick.tf as found in tf-lib
;;;; Modifications:
;;; Mod - Made tick warning catch the eye
;;; New - 5 seconds tick warning
;;; Mod - /tickoff also kills the 5 seconds warning
;;; New - /tickshow, you can now run the counter without seeing a message
;;;                  if you need the counter, you can /tickshow to see the
;;;                  messages and have a synced tick counter ready
;;; Mod - Made /tickset show a message if show_tick is 1
;;; New - /tick+ and /tick-
;;; New - Triggers to sync tick counter
;;; New - Send TICK_EXE to the server but intercept it, see tick_exe below
