I want to keep a record of all the mobs I kill, and how many I kill of each one. So, increment a counter if I have killed a mob of that type before, or create one if I haven't.

I've tried to get this to work, but I am not sure how to get the database set up, or how to add entries to it.

The syntax I get when I kill a mob is - "You have killed Orc!".

Another problem I have is: sometimes my MUD sends a > character before a line.. so I need to filter out all the >'s before I add them to the database.

Also, I'm looking for a quick way to check to see how many of a mob I've killed with the quickmenu. That'd be great!

The quick and dirty method would be to use a record variable, although in the long term you will benefit by setting up a database.

#TR {You have killed (*)!} {#ADDKEY mobkills "%1" %eval(%db(@mobkills,"%1")+1)}

Since the pattern isn't anchored at its beginning, the existence of extraneous ">"s won't impede the trigger.

To check how many of a mob you've killed. You can use this quickmenu:

#MENU {Mob Count} {#ECHO You have killed %db(@mobkills,%selected) %selected~.}

Highlight the short name of the mob then right-click to open the quickmenu.

Okay... one last question. I've tried to do it, and I can't get it to work. (everything else works perfectly, by the way, thanks!)

How can I loop through the database and just list all the mobs I've killed with the number I've killed right beside it?

#LOOPDB @mobkills {#SHOW %key%val}

Is there a way to get this stuff to show up in like a Status Window?
