alias stored in a variable, wont expand and trigger (3.33a)
|
I see cmud send the lines to the mudd, but it don't parse them as aliases.
Zmud parses these fine.
I tried adding #exec, and %execute on the @kcmd variable, but it still just sends the text to the mudd, without parsing it.
the @dirr part works just fine.
nn bb vv mm are all aliases for spells
#dirr is a direction (n s e w)
pretty simple few lines of code...
| Code: |
#var kcmd %case( %random( 1, 4),nn,bb,vv,mm)
#if (%item( @bugs, 1) == "") {@dirr} {@kcmd" "%item( @bugs, 1)}

hummm, 2nd time I tried the exec, it worked..
| Code: |
#var kcmd %case( %random( 1, 4),nn,bb,vv,mm)
#if (%item( @bugs, 1) == "") {@dirr} {%exec(@kcmd)" "%item( @bugs, 1)}

In CMUD, a line cannot start with a variable or function reference (because many MUDs use commands that start with @ at the beginning of the line for various chatting).
So yes, #EXEC is what you should be using. The correct syntax for what you are doing is:
| Code: |
| #if (%item( @bugs, 1) == "") {#EXEC @dirr} {#EXEC %concat(@kcmd," ",%item( @bugs, 1))} |
Remember that #Commands perform an action (such as executing code with #EXEC), whereas %functions return a value. So you should be using #EXEC and not %exec. |

oddly enough, the {@dirr} works fine...
always had trouble figuring out the difference between % AND # commands, thanks for the clarification |

As in zMUD, this is accidental and not by design and you should not depend upon that continuing to work. |

nope, it works in cmud 3.33a, but I have since changed it.
