change time in reset script

[Legacy_Knight_Shield]

               How do I set this to every 6 hours?









This is what I use, of course I am using the NWNX2 shutdown plugin but
it does either way. It restarts about every 24hrs as configured.

               If I understand the script correctly, it's intended to run in the module's heartbeat event. It counts the number of heartbeats in variable loadtimer and reacts when a certain threshold is reached. 6 hours are 3600 heartbeats. Do the shutdown after timekeeper has reached 3600 (last condition). To provide in-advance warning, adjust the first conditions accordingly.
BTW, I don't see that the first 4 lines are useful, because they read the current time and set it again. If this code doesn't pertain to a technical trick unknown to me, I recomment to delete them.

               That is the standard method for updating/resetting the clock which can lag if the server is lagging.

               I seen an error in the above script....

StartNewModule(GetModule());

// This is the correct usage...
StartNewModule(string sModuleName); 

// Here is the correct code for that function...

object oModule = GetModule();
if(oModule != OBJECT_INVALID)
{
 StartNewModule( GetName( oModule ) );
}
