Silly Trigger question
|
How do I differentiate in a trigger when I have the following two lines..
You see traces of your quarry to the north
You see traces of your quarry to the northeast
Right now the trigger for north will also go off for northeast as well.
I tried looking through other posts and searching a bit, but can't see how to tell it end of line or something. |

One trigger will be able to be used for both situations you simply need to capture the word which can change and then perform an #IF on it, something like this:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {You see traces of your quarry to the (%w)} {#IF (%1="north") {#ECHO The word north was detected, place the commands you want if this occurs inside these brackets} {#ECHO The word north was NOT detected, place the commands you want if this occurs inside these brackets}} |
That code was off ther top of my head so it is untested, use the zMud help Files to better understand the commands used and also take a look at the 'Pattern matching' section. |

Hmm.. There are actually about 8 directions, can you do if statements for all choices?

Well basically if it says a mob is a certain direction, go that direction.

This should do what you want:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {You see traces of your quarry to the (%w)} {%eval(%1)} |
Personally I wouldn't use a trigger to do that automatically but each to their own... |

Even better, you can use a #CASE command (or %case() function, as applicable). Regardless of whether you use IF or CASE, you're going to need to track whether you have decided to go somewhere or not, and if so to disregard other such lines until after you've moved.

Nope, #CASE predates CMud. You are thinking of #SWITCH, I believe.

Wouldn't this work?
#trigger {You see traces of your quarry to the &targetdir} {#echo mob went @targetdir Im gonna get that rascal!;@targetdir}
I always put in #echo in when im trying new stuff to help me figure out bugs.
OR i think this works also
#trigger {You see traces of your quarry to the (%w)} {#echo friggen chicken went %1;%1} |

How about using the $ at the end? So:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {You see traces of your quarry to the north$} { do stuff} |
|
