Alias question
|
Using cMUDPro
Alias: fgrubs
pmote working next to an empty wooden cart.
#LOCAL $grcount
#LOCAL $total-grubs {%1}
#SHOW You will now gather upto @total-grubs.
#T+ find-grubs
find grubs
When I run this, for instance as fgrubs 12 it comes back on the last line find grubs 12 |

Make sure you don't have the Auto-Append option enabled for your alias. If the alias was imported from zMUD, then the Auto Append option was enabled by default.
Also, keep in mind that CMUDPro is a Beta version, and you should normally post to the Beta forum since there are several bugs in the beta version that you might encounter. |

Sounds good Zugg. Man has it been awhile since I played with the new versions. I was hoping to test cMUD instead of pro, but the license hasn't been reset in a long time and I got it when it had a bunch of bugs to I quit.

Also, you probably meant something like this:
pmote working next to an empty wooden cart.
#LOCAL $grcount
$total-grubs=%1
#SHOW You will now gather upto $total-grubs.
#T+ find-grubs
find grubs
When you refer to a local variable, you use the same name as when you define it. #local is only used for creating local variables. When you assign a local variable that doesn't exist, it's automatically created. Also, you don't use the $grcount variable in this alias - have you left some of the code out? If not, that line isn't needed because the local variable will be removed when the alias finishes. |

I got it to work. I also noticed that any variable the has a hypen in it will not display correctly to the window with a #SHOW
I was getting:
You will now gather upto -grubs. |

That's because '-' is now a reserved symbol for arithmetic. Bear in mind that CMUD is stricter in syntax that zMUD was.

Try using a _ character instead of a - hyphen and then it should work. Most programming languages allow _ but not - in their variable names, so it's better to get into the habit of using _ instead.

I keep forgetting you changed zScript to be more like other languages. I need to start remembering that. ;)
