Feature Request: RST at scheduled times #31

Open Merakkii opened 5 years ago

Would be neat to have the bot be able to post a random message at scheduled times (daily, weekly, etc). Personally, I'd like to use it for a 'Question of the Day' or 'Fact of the Day' type thing.

Hi There,

It does sound quite interesting, I'll give it some thought & review the current code to see if it's possible to implement. :)

Hi There,

After looking at the code, it might not be possible to create scheduled RST messages. However, if you have a bot that has the capabilities of scheduling and posting a msg, you can set Railgun to respond to bot messages. Meaning, you use a bot to trigger one of railgun's command. This is the only workaround at this time.

We do have sub-systems that handles timers, however it wasn't designed for repeating since each timer is unique.

I'll keep looking & thinking through to see if I can find a way to implement this. No guarantees though.
