void check_for_alarms()

set_alarm_mess

void set_alarm_mess(string mess)

Sets the message to be displayed when an alarm goes off.

Parameters:
mess - The message to be displayed. The following can be used and will be replaced when your message is displayed: $poss_short$ - the watch's possessive short (useful if worn and if the alarm isn't silent). $short$ - the watch's query_short. $time$ - the current time in the form returned by query_time_string. $alarm$ - the alarm string as set by the player, this can only be used if the watch is a spoken watch.

Example:

 set_watch_speaker( "From inside the watch, a fat blue imp" );
 set_alarm_mess( "It is $time$, this is your $alarm$ alarm!\n" );

 set_silent_alarm( 1 );
 set_alarm_mess( "Your $short$ buzzes almost imperceptibly as an alarm "
   "goes off.\n" );

set_has_alarms

Example:

  set_has_alarms( 1 );
  set_alarm_mess( "You feel a tiny pin prick on your wrist, indicating "
    "that your $short$'s alarm is going off.\n" );
  set_silent_alarm( 1 );
