Trigger and Alias Question
|
There are two sorts of alias' I have been trying to get to work in CMUD that are just NOT cooperating. I no longer have the ZMUD files to import sadly.
#1 (Setting a new window to capture tells and other chats)
Pattern: tells you
Value: #cap tell; #gag
Problem: It creates a second command line, which also shows what I type in the first one, and creates a ever-repeating trigger.
#2
Name: csear
Value: clan {w<Se{Dar{wed {Yb{Wy {wt{Wh{we {YL{Wi{Yg{Wh{Yt> %-0
Problem: The variable does not function. In ZMUD, this (or one just like it without the -) would copy anything I typed in it's place such as...
csear Hey guys (----> Would appear as <Seared by the Light> Hey guys)
How do you get an adaptable variable setting like this to work?
Sorry, I'm a complete novice at this. |

I'm not sure what's going on on #1... would likely need more details, but I can help with #2... if I recall correctly %-0 is no longer supported... try %-1... which should have the same desired effect. Also, make sure you're escaping all the {'s... so ~{ in most cases.

Escaping the {'s? That I'm not familiar with.
And with number one, if you can just tell me how to make a capture and gag trigger, I'd appreciate it. |

Oh, and I tried adding the tildale's to "escape" the { and I changed the variable to %-1 and it still doesn't work...

I got this to work with an oninput trigger.
Create a new trigger...
Type:Command Input
Pattern:^csear (*)$
Script:clan ~{w~<Se~{Dar~{wed ~{Yb~{Wy ~{wt~{Wh~{we ~{YL~{Wi~{Yg~{Wh~{Yt~> %-1
Thank Dharkael not me, he helped me with a script like this. |

Sorry to be an idiot, what's the underlined asterisk part?
Also, is there any way to explain what parts of this work? So that I can actually learn and have to ask less questions? *grin* |

For #1, I created started with a blank session, created a trigger with
pattern:tells you
script:
this created the window correctly, no command line, no dup commands
but the trigger did not send the line to the tells window
but if you change the script to:
This works flawlessly.
I believe that you need the trigger within the window that will be firing it (versus another module/package?) |

The colors/underlines are just how CMUD will color the script/pattern when you actually enter it.
What part did you need explained?
A command input trigger, is a trigger that fires only on input from YOU, not the mud.
the ^ makes sure you're beginning the input with csear
the () catpures the arguments you are passing (necessary to use %1 or %-1 or %params later)
the * is to match any number (even none) of characters or white space
the ~ is used to temporarily escape CMUD special characters, because you want to send these to the MUD, not to CMUD (in this case) |
