Pardon me fellows, but I'm having some difficulty with this one. I wish to create what I think is likely a simple script, but can't quite figure it out. I simply wish to have a string variable that contains some mob names. Then I wish to use #FORALL to gate to the mob, perform some commands, and then gate to the next mob in the list and repeat the exact same commands there as well..

I declare the string list with the following example:

Mobs="dwarf"|"cat"|"snake"

However using the example in the help files, the following should work:

#FORALL @Mobs{#SHOW %i}

But it doesn't.. and I am unclear why. From my understanding the latter line should display dwarf, cat, and snake respectivly on thier own lines.

I am aware the following syntax is wrong, but it should easily illustrate the effect I am going for. If anyone can help clarify any part of this to me, it would be appreciated. Playing and experimenting with the help files alone has rather gotten me stuck at this quandary.

Mobs="dwarf"|"cat"|"snake"

#FORALL @Mobs{
mgate %i
enter gate
c gas
}

Then hopefully the product would be a script that created a gate to the dwarf, entered it and gassed it. Then made a gate to the cat, entered it and gassed it, then the same thing with the snake.

Please any constructive pointers at all would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Looking at this closer it's obvious now I was going about it the wrong way. What I think I should be doing is creating a WHILE loop with a counter..

Mobs="dwarf"|"cat"|"snake"
#VAR mnum=1

#WHILE nnum =< 3 {
mgate @Mobs.@mnum
enter gate
c gas
#ADD mnum 1
(#LOOP?)

The biggest problem probably is that I can find no examples anywhere of how to do any of this stuff :( Only one quick, almost never helpfull, example in the Help pages and that's it. I am still quite unclear as to what the format of these scripts should be.. I mean I know that :

$function {
blah command
}

Is incorrect, but there are no examples. Conversely I do not know how to 'enclose' my while statement.. Please any help would be appreciated.

Plus.. Why can I not use @Mobs.@mnum in place of @Mobs.1 and @Mobs.2 etc..?

aint sure what your talking about.

but based on what you did before:

Mobs="dwarf|cat|snake"
#FORALL @Mobs {
mgate %i
enter gate
c gas
}

far as i can figure that should work.
dont have an mgate on aard to test it.
and this would classified as a bot, so no way in hell am i even trying it.
