I seem to be having alot of problems in the one game I use. We are able to do multiple line descriptions such as for different things. When I leave extra spaces in the description to make space for centering or such, I can't seem to keep the extra spaces, zmud removes them on me, so I end up screwing it all up. Is there a way to remove this, so I can keep the spaces, or a certain command I need to know about?

Thanks,
Rich

A #Alias will do it automatically but in a #trigger you have to put the {} around what you want to show.

Examples:

#trigger {you see a (*)} {#show It's a %1}
--You see a bug
YOU GET
--It's a bug

BUT IF YOU DO IT LIKE THIS:
#trigger {you see a (*)} {#show {It's a %1}}
YOU WILL GET
--It's a bug

Using double quotes will preserve your spaces. Simple parameters (%1..%99) are still expanded inside of the quotes, and you can put other functions outside of the quotes but still inline.

Both of these are parts I know of. What I'm talking about is in the command prompt. In the game I use, we use alot of alignment and spacing to make designs via text such as something like this:

~o~ ~o~ ~o~ ~o~
~o~ text ~o~
~o~ ~o~ ~o~ ~o~

After the word text, when I hit enter, it makes it look like this instead of spaced out:

~o~ text ~o~

It wants to remove the spaces, This is what I was wondering on how to remove. Only because, the descriptions in this game can make you money, or break your bank easily. It's something I searched for, for awhile and still haven't figured it out. Question

And with that last post, it removed the extra spaces also... Dang it. Its all suppose to be aligned with the "~O~" making an aligned box around the word "text"....

rpcervi, rather than #show use #send

You could also use the %char for space and it will not get removed.

Use this #aliias to get a list of %char:

#alias char {#loop 1,300 {#show %repeatnum = %char(%repeatnum)}}

For some reason, when I use #send all I get is nothing, as its not even sending it to the game.. I don't know why :(

so something like #send "say this is a test" will result in totally nothing being sent to the mud?
umm..then SOMETHING is totally off with your settings.
Tried a reinstall? *shrug*

You can also turn off the parsing (Red X the computer next to the trigger(gun) on the lower right hand side) for your thing with spaces.

For many muds and their notes I use an alias like:

#IG
message text here
blah
blah
blah blah blah
**save method for notes here
#IG

Short an simple. In the command line, start any text you want spacing, or anything else preserved, with a double-quote.

The command line is subject to the full parsing, expansion, and evaluation rules the same as any script. This allows scripts to be published and imported simply by pasting them in the command line. Nearly all scripts you see here are written such that they will work in that fashion. You can disable the parsing in the command line at any point with a ". By placing one at the beginning of the line and never including a closing quote the whole becomes immune to the parsing rules, and because that is the entire extent of the input the parser sees the quotes are effectively closed anyway.
