//pagerList is exactly what it says. A list containing multiple BYOND keys for a specific purpose, to notify them of their status.

//T is the text to send out.
client.SendPage(T,pagerList,"summon")

or

for(var/mob/M in pagerList)
     src.client.SendPage(T,M,"summon")


I tried sending the page to this key, Xirre, while signed in on it. I also tried sending it while I was on a different key I had from about 6 years ago(which isn't a BYOND member but has Xirre added). No page received.

Possible problems?: "[T]" instead of T?
SendPage doesn't recognize the /list properly?

Does anyone see a fault in the code?

SendPage is depreciated and no longer works (Go complain about it, I want it back too :( )

mob/paging/verb
    Add_Recipient()
        set category = "Pager"
        var/M
        switch(alert("Select or Type key?","Permit","Select","Type"))
            if("Select")
                M=input("Who do you want to add to the server pager list?") as null|mob in world
            if("Type")
                M=input("Please type their exact BYOND key") as text
        if(M)
            pagerList+=M
            src << "<b><small>Added [M] to the pager list.</small></b>"
        else
            src << "<b><small>Cancelled adding a recipient.</b></small>"

    Remove_Recipient()
        set category = "Pager"
        redo
        var/K = input("Who do you wish to remove from permitted?") as null|anything in pagerList
        if(!K)
            src << "<b><small>Cancelled the remove of a recipient.</small></b>"
            return
        if(K)
            src << "<b><small>Removed [K] from the pager list.</b></small>"
            pagerList-=K
            goto redo

    All_Recipients()
        set category = "Pager"
        var/count = 0
        for(var/M in permitted)
            pagerList+=M
            count++
        src << "<b><small>[count] recipient\s added.</small></b>"
        

    Who_Recipients()
        set category = "Pager"
        var/recipients = "Recipients: "
        var/count = 0
        for(var/M in pagerList)
            recipients=recipients + "[M], "
            count++
        src << "[copytext(recipients,1,length(recipients)-1)]"
        src << "<b><small>[count] recipient\s.</small></b>"

    Clear_Recipients()
        set category = "Pager"
        pagerList = new/list
        src << "<b><small>Pager list cleared.</b></small>"

    Send_Page(T as text)
        set category = "Pager"
        var/recipients
        var/count = 0
        for(var/mob/M in pagerList)
            recipients=recipients + "[M],"
            count++
        if(T)
            src << "Sending.."
            client.SendPage("[T]","[recipients]","summon=1")
            sleep(10)
            src << "Paged [copytext(recipients,1,length(recipients))]: [T]"
            src << "<b><small>[count] recipients.</b></small>"
            return
