Hi, Is there a way to delete or unschedule a task? I've got a multiplayer game. Whenever a player starts their turn, I schedule a task for now + n minutes, where n is the total time they have to perform their move. When the task executes, I check if they have performed the move, if not, I cancel their turn. But my queue will end up having many unnecessary tasks in it:
Round limit = 5 minutes queued-task: game=abc, check at 5:00pm queued-task: game=abc, check at 5:01pm ... As each player starts their turn, all the tasks pile on as above. Ideally I only need one scheduled task in the queue at any given time. When a player starts their turn, I could flush the queue of all previous scheduled tasks, which are no longer needed. There doesn't appear to be a way to do this, named tasks block insertion of tasks with the same name, I was hoping to use that as a trick to find and remove or overwrite the tasks with the same name (using the game key as a unique identifier)?
