Hello,

I have the following problem:

I can construct bombs and set timers for them to explode after a given time limit. The problem is if i make 2 web bombs and use the MUD syntax "Timer webbomb 30" (30 is the timer in seconds ) it will only set the time on the first bomb, if i run the command again, it states the bomb already has the timer set. The bombs have a unique id which is shown when you run a full inventory list, so i could use "timer bomb12345 30" Also, there are 4 different types of bombs.

Would I like is to run the inventory list, add the unique bomb ID's to an array and them set the timer on each bomb with a single alias. The example MUD output is:

You are holding:
"bomb12345"
"bomb12346"
"bomb12347"
"bomb12348"

I have done the following, and although I'm not currenty in a position to test it, I would like someone to look over it to see if it is right. I have a very strong suspicion it isn't.

#VAR bombs {}
#TRIGGER {^{"bomb%d"}} {#ADDITEM bombs {%1}}

#ALIAS bang {timer bomb%item}

So:

bang 25

gives the MUD the syntax of "timer bomb(Unique ID) 25" and would set all bombs with a 25 second timer.

Thanks in advance

#ALIAS bang {#LOOP 1,%numitems( @bombs) {timer bomb%item( @bombs, %i)}}

bang 30
timer bomb12345 30
timer bomb12346 30
timer bomb12347 30
timer bomb12348 30

Thank you DeathDealer, so my #VAR and #TRIGGER lines are ok, just need to add this #ALIAS line?

For some reason i can't get the adding of the bombs to the variable to work the way you have it.
Tried a few diff things as well.
I added them manually to get the results above.
I know i'm missing something obvious with the trigger, but damned if i know what...
Question, does the inventory literally say:
You are holding:
"bomb12345"
"bomb12346"
"bomb12347"
"bomb12348"

with the "'s in there?

Also, i think it should be
#TRIGGER {^~"bomb%d~"}

OH WAIT!! damn i'm an idiot...

#var bombs {}
#TRIGGER {^~"bomb(%d)~"} {#ADDITEM bombs {%1}}

need the () around the %d

Also, as a side note, the alias should be changed to clear the bombs var otherwise you'll just keep adding to it.

#CLASS {BOMBS}
#ALIAS bang {
#LOOP 1,%numitems( @bombs) {timer bomb%item( @bombs, %i) %1}
#VARIABLE bombs {}
}
#VARIABLE bombs {}
#TRIGGER {^~"bomb(%d)~"} {#ADDITEM bombs {%1}}
#CLASS 0

Edited to correct clearing syntax and add alias correction
