Hi, thanks for reading. The mud: Realms of Despair.

This is a very small problem, but an annoyance nonetheless. Consider the following trigger:

actual mud prompt:
<766/766 665/665 590/590>(869)(2871856)

the numer 869 in the example could at some time have a negative sign in front of it, thats why i chose the wildcard i did for it below. Just for simplicity since i dont know any better.

Pattern: ^~<%n~/%n %n~/%n %n~/%n~>~(*~)~(%n~)me (&1)

Value: emote is trancing %1 times.
#repeat %1 {trance)
emote is finished trancing

It works fine, except, after "emote is finished trancing", the mud returns "Huh?". I know this is because "me" isn't a recognized command.

And the reason i use "me" instead of tr or something is because tr is short for the traffic command.

Basically, all i want is to be able to enter me (some number from 1-9) and have myself trance that number of times. Like i said, the only trouble, is the "huh?" when its finished. Otherwise, i do trance and emote just fine.

Thanks

Rather than make a trigger to do this, it appears to me that you should make an alias. Aliases allow you to assign several commands to a shortcut abbreviation.

Select New Alias in the Settings editor.

Name: me
Value: emote is trancing %1 times.
#repeat %1 {trance)
emote is finished trancing

Anything you type after me will be assigned as a parameter. There is no need to tie this to your prompt pattern.

Umm... you got a syntax error there, perhaps thats why you are getting the huh... you have a ) rather than a } in your #repeat command. Perhaps you meant to have:
#repeat %1 {trance}
?

You can use %n to match both positive and negative numbers. 869, -869, and 869 with a plus sign before it would all be matched. (Couldnt figure out how to put a plus sign into the fourm)

Just use a plus sign. +869. It will show up in the forum even though it doesn't show in the preview.
