The posts leading to this one sparked my thinking that if the events were posted by the same object, execute them sequentially: a generalization of the above player-command case. Is such a generalization necessary? The above case could be implemented in the player object itself, queuing things and doling them out as appropriate, rather than in the event-handling systems where the generalization would be done. One could use a sort of "super" event that is responsible for the execution of a series of sub-events, and successful commit of the super would occur when all the subs themselves committed. Unfortunately, the potential for involving a large(r) number of objects in that super event could cause a lot of failed commits until this super event drove the thing to single-threading. > (Hey Jon!

I'd certainly appreciate a look at it. -- Shawn Halpenny "You got a one way ticket on your last chance ride." - "Coma" </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00610" HREF="msg00610.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> clawrenc#cup,hp.com</li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00558" HREF="msg00558.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> clawrenc#cup,hp.com</LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00562.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Dynamic Descriptions</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00564.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Virtual Chemistry</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00613.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00610.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00563"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00563"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00667" HREF="msg00667.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Tue 19 Aug 1997, 05:38 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00680" HREF="msg00680.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Tue 19 Aug 1997, 22:10 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00690" HREF="msg00690.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Wed 20 Aug 1997, 05:16 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00613" HREF="msg00613.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Fri 15 Aug 1997, 22:32 GMT </LI> </ul> </ul> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00563" HREF="msg00563.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></strong>, Shawn Halpenny <a href="mailto:malachai#iname,com">malachai#iname,com</a>, Thu 14 Aug 1997, 20:25 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00610" HREF="msg00610.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Fri 15 Aug 1997, 20:10 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00693" HREF="msg00693.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></strong>, Shawn Halpenny <a href="mailto:malachai#iname,com">malachai#iname,com</a>, Wed 20 Aug 1997, 14:12 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00753" HREF="msg00753.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Wed 27 Aug 1997, 01:21 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00602" HREF="msg00602.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></strong>, Nathan Yospe <a href="mailto:yospe#hawaii,edu">yospe#hawaii,edu</a>, Fri 15 Aug 1997, 06:56 GMT </LI> </ul> </ul> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
