Re: Scheduling with a schedule

[Doug Donalson]

You can also use an autodrop schedule where you schedule an action to an
individual agent at time 100 and as part of the execution of the event you
schedule the next action at time 200 (getCurrentTime()+100).  With autodrop
each scheduled event is executed only once.
