substituting mxp elements for other mxp elements
|
My mud defines a custom <monster> element that it uses to provide clickable <send> menus on the monster names. The output that I get from the mud looks like this:
| Code: |
| <MONSTER id="firemage">An angry firemage </MONSTER> |
I want to change the options that are available in the <send> menu, so I defined a new element called mymonster. Now what I want to do is to replace the above with:
| Code: |
| <MYMONSTER id="firemage">An angry firemage </MYMONSTER> |
I first tried using an MXP trigger to do this, but as far as I can tell #sub does nothing when used inside an MXP trigger. So then I tried a normal trigger:
| Code: |
| #trig {<monster(*)</monster>} {#sub {<mymonster%1</mymonster>}} |
(edit: oops, corrected the code above to what I actually tried)
But that trigger doesn't seem to even be going off. How can I do this? |

| Code: |
#trig {<monster(%*)</monster>} {
#sub {<mymonster%1</mymonster>}
} |

This doesn't work. It performs the substitution satisfactorily when MXP is disabled, but when MXP is enabled I still get the original <SEND> menu. |

Since I never really used mxp I could be off base
#trig {~<monster(*)~</monster>} {#sub {~<mymonster%1~</mymonster>}} |

No difference. |

I already tried #mxptrig {mymonster} {#sub blah}. The trigger goes off (I can see other effects), but the #sub doesn't seem to do anything no matter what I try to substitute in.
