Zugg Software :: View topic - Help me with an alias please...the loop won't work

Newbie Joined: 09 Dec 2003 Posts: 2

so I'm new to scripting with zmud and i'm trying to do the following:

setbomb 5

the above alias should set the timer on 5 bombs like this:

set 5.bomb 30
set 4.bomb 30
set 3.bomb 30
set 2.bomb 30
set 1.bomb 30

this is what i got:

@test = %1

#LOOP %1 {
set <@test>.nuke 30
#MATH @test {@test - 1}
}

but this dosn't work. For some reason the math stament is incorrect and @test value always stays the same as it is intially.

can anyone help?

Try this.

alias:
setbomb

Value:
#LOOP 1,%1 {set %{i}.bomb 30}

%1 represents the numeric after setbomb when you type the alias (ex: setbomb 5). %{i} represents the loop range (number of times to loop.

This is found in the help section for #LOOP
Type:
setbomb 5

set 1.bomb 30
set 2.bomb 30
set 3.bomb 30
set 4.bomb 30
set 5.bomb 30

tested offline with 6.66, using alias: setbomb
