I have multiple windows open in this mud I play, one for my character that I"m playing, and two rolling stats. I have scripts for the ones rolling stats to roll until they find a certain minimum stat. When they do this, I want them to do one of two things. If my character window is connected to the mud, I want them to do one thing, if it isn't, I want them to do another. Is there any way for an if statement to check whether this other character window is connected?

Thanks in advance

add this line to your atconect alias
#var connected 1;
and this to your atdisconnect alias
#var connected 0;

then you can just check the value at @connected;

The thing is, the two connections use separate settings files.

in each atconnect,atdisconnect you can use the setglobal command
then you can check the values using getglobal to coordinate your
sessions as you see fit

You can use @windowName.variable to get the value of a variable from another window. If the windowName is not going to be a constant thing then you would have to retrieve the %names predefined variable and parse it for where to check the state of.
