RuneScript/Queues

Commands

getqueue(queue $script)(int);

clearqueue(queue $script);

queue(queue $script, int $delay, int $arg);

weakqueue(queue $script, int $delay, int $arg);

strongqueue(queue $script, int $delay, int $arg);

softqueue(queue $script, int $delay, int $arg);

longqueue(queue $script, int $delay, int $arg, int $on_logout);

There are asterisk versions - which mean it’s a dynamic command and may supply an arbitrary number of arguments.

queue*(queue $script, int $delay, …args);

weakqueue*(queue $script, int $delay, …args);

strongqueue*(queue $script, int $delay, …args);

softqueue*(queue $script, int $delay, …args);

Queue Types

Normal

Requires protected access before it can execute.

Weak

Requires protected access before it can execute.

Cleared when closing modals. Moving or interacting with something new closes modals and inherently clears weak queues

Strong

Requires protected access before it can execute.

Closes modals before executing and if the queue contains a strong queue at all (modals technically close twice)

Modals are aggressively closed because they block protected access

Soft

Not granted protected access so it can always execute.

This concept comes from soft timers, which share the same behavior. No protected access means they typically cannot edit anything on the player - unless the command or type is marked as not requiring protection

Long

These scripts act like normal queues, but on logout may:

^accelerate - ignore any remaining delay and attempt to execute

^discard - do nothing (cleared)

These are useful to ensure something always happens if you want it to.
