Hello everybody!

Is there a way to have an event run on a schedule every hour at a given? Like 15 minutes after every hour?

Thanks,
Sabre

Yes, you can go to SCFG > External Programs > Timed Events and add an event there. You can't directly specify 15 minutes after every hour, but one option is to tell it how many times a day you want the event to run. You could tell it 24 times per day and it should run once per hour.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing, was just wondering if I missed a way to be more specific.

There's no built-in method for scheduling timed events for a specific offset of ever hour (e.g. **:15). You can submit a feature request if this is important to, and it'd be good to know the reason why it's important too. :-)
