Getting map to react to MUD
|
Hey I'm brand new to these forums, I've had a look but there are so many posts I can't find one specifically dealing with my query.
My question is:
Is it at all possible (since as far as I can tell the map and the textual mud work almost independantly) to get the map to react to output from the mud. Such as making your current position move EAST when the mud prompts "You move east." ? |

Yes... you can do so with a #TRIGGER. For example
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {You move (%w)} {#MOVE %1} |
That's off the top of my head but it should give you an idea. More than likely you will have better luck configuring the mapper and that way it can track you automatically. |

thanks, that works :)
My following question is that I would like to pick up strings from a single line of indeterminate length. For example:
You follow a disenfranchised man south.
You follow Spite enter door.
I would like to be able to pass both "south" and "enter door" into variables.
any suggestions?
EDIT:
This query is really simple and I almost hate to insult you with it. I have it passing the direction into a variable for a set list of 'followed characters' but what I really need to know is how to populate a namelist with names from the following text format where "Spite" is the name to be captured:
You accept the follow request from Spite.
This line may occur alot so I need it to capture a list of names and store them (and remove them when appropriate) so it could be used like this:
You follow {Spite|John|Angron|Maverick} &direction*. |
