Testing: Vending Machines PT2 - Limits & Countdowns

Show Official Posts OnlyReplies
If you've been on Subeta for more than a few days, you realize that it's really a series of timers. The theme of these posts is that all of "legacy" subeta was built separately, so the timer on a vending machine is custom, hand built the same as the timer in shops or doing the krypts.
Now on the Testing Vending Machine you should see the starts of a new system that will be used across all of the features on the site that require a timer or a limit that you can do per some amount of time. This uses a standardized backend that can output this component, which most importantly lets you know when the timer will reset.
This can handle:
- Daily (reset at midnight Subeta)
- Mid-Day
- Hourly
- 60 minutes
- 30 minutes
- 5 minutes
- 1 minute
And with them all coming from the same system, we can build a page that shows you all of your timers on the site and when you'll be able to do the activity again. That'll come once we've got a few of these timers out and about.
So, go ahead and give the vending machine a few more spins so I can make sure this limiting system works correctly. And thank you! 🙇♂️

this is great! I tried it again (it had finally reset, so that's good) and it says it'll reset again at midnight so I'll try it again after that.
Worked for me! The reset time was displayed nice and clearly, and hitting the limit worked as it should.
works lovely. the timer doesn't update unless i refresh the page, but that's consistent with what we have on the site now.
Working so far.

You have 4,503 Wizard Tokens remaining. You have 4,403 Wizard Tokens remaining. You have 4,303 Wizard Tokens remaining. Whoa, isn't it supposed to be 2 Wiz tokens per vend? :o
I'm getting 500 server error since it switched over.

yikes I didn't even realize it was taking 100 tokens until my fourth try. was that intentional or a mess up?
You have 4,403 Wizard Tokens remaining.
You have 4,303 Wizard Tokens remaining.

Oh nooooooo I did all 5 vends before I realized. :( Yes now I'm down 500 tokens, shoot.
It worked for me! It's very expensive to vend though. I think I spent 500 wiz tokens to get 5 common items? Maybe it could state the price per vend on the page at the top. And I probably won't do it again at this price. I think I tested it the last time you posted, so I'm out 1000 tokens, which is way to rich for my blood.

- 🤦♂️ I did not notice the price, I guess it'd changed at some point in the debugging. It's now set to 1 and the price is shown on the page :( Sorry about that!
- It was showing an error if you'd spun it the day before (it did not roll over correctly) but now it resets correctly

Is it possible get our tokens back or are they just into the ether?
The timer appeared after I did the 5 vends. I didn't pay attention to how many tokens it was using, though. I think it was after the 100 tokens thing was changed.

It worked for me now.

Did it again, reset worked. (But reset worked on the first time last time too, I guess the real test will be if it resets again?)
I'm not too sad about the high token cost but 100 does seem overpriced, on the other hand the one 3 star item I got on my second 5 vends here (I'm at 20 now, four sets of 5) was pretty valuable?
Works fine for me [playing on moblie android phone] I didn't notice anything weird and no bugs.
