Settings​

Automations / Tasks - Task settings

Activate automation​

Turn on the Automation is active toggle to enable the task.

Run for each game server(s)​

Decide if the task should run per game server or independently. For tasks like Discord messages, you can disable this setting.

Select clusters / game servers​

If Run for each game server(s) is enabled, you must choose which cluster(s) or server(s) the task will run on.

Only run when game server is online​

By default, tasks only run when the game server is online. You can disable this to allow execution even if a server is offline.

Delay between servers​

Add a delay between executions on each server to reduce load.

Options:

  • No delay
  • 20 seconds
  • 40 seconds

Run actions when player is online​

When enabled, actions will wait for the player to be online before executing. This helps avoid issues with actions (e.g. commands) that don’t support offline use. You can disable this if the action does not require a player to be online.

caution

Most games do not allow commands to be run on offline players.
