| The mud i play requires a certain number of hours per month to be played minumum.
How would I create some sort of time reading device that records what time I log on and log off and then calculates and adds this to my monthly total?

| | Make a small plugin that gets the time on connection, and saves it into a variable. Make another that gets the time on disconnection. Find the difference. Add to a MUSHclient variable. Have the plugin save its state. Then that should gradually keep track of your connection time. |

| Sounds easy enough that I might be able to do it myself.
Can you make a trigger to catch the world.note stuff

and the disconnected message and then find the difference between them? I seem to be having troubles getting a trigger to match.
Otherwise do I need to use some function to get the system or world time. Like world.gettime if that existed.

| | Since no scripting language is mentioned, I'll just throw out that you can use the function Now() in VBScript to get your current date/time of your system. | | Top |

Those messages are world "notes" and triggers only match on incoming text from the MUD, so that won't work. However MUSHclient provides a "callback" for world connect and disconnect, so simply put a script function for both of them. Something like this, although I haven't tested it ...
dim connect_time
connect_time = Now ' in case already connected
sub OnConnect
connect_time = Now
end sub
sub OnDisconnect
dim Elapsed, TotalConnected
'
' get connected time in minutes
'
Elapsed = DateDiff ("m", connect_time, Now)
'
' find previous connected time
'
TotalConnected = CLng (world.GetVariable ("connected_time"))
'
' add new time
'
TotalConnected = TotalConnected + CLng (Elapsed)
'
' save new time
'
world.SetVariable "connected_time", TotalConnected
end sub
