Hey hey,

I have a problem. I need to get the automapper working for my staff, but it's having difficulty configuring.

My MUD's output is:




#945 : A Small Clearing


[Exits: #44500 north #944 east #946 west]

The forest clears out, as if the trees purposely avoid this area for some


strange reason.  A pair of mighty oaks mark somewhat of a doorway into a


valley to the north and a faint trail leads west toward the sound of a


rushing river, and to the east a small trail leads into a dense forest.


                                     -----


north used to be 947. this is on long-term hold


now links to 44500

As you can see, the vnum's are all over the place, plus the line after the ----- are immortal-only notes which shouldn't appear in the description.

I've tried the following trigger:




Pattern: ^#(%d) : (%*)$~[Exits: (%*)~]$$(%*)


Code: #TAG vnum,name,exit,desc {%1} {%2} {%3} {%4}

But it doesn't help at all.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Did you try re-configuring the automapper after you created the trigger with the #TAG?

Also, I think it is possible that zMUD gets confused with all the vnums in the exits and thus will not want to process them.

I've tried reconfiguring at least 100 times today, literally :)

Tried all sorts of different triggers. I was getting close, #SUB'd out all the vnums. But I couldn't get #TAG to fire on the #SUB'd lines... there any way to do that?

How about you just Trigg on everything after the '----' line and use #NOMAP?

The ----'s not very reliable, it only shows up if a room has typo's/rbug's attached to it :
It's quite a nightmare :)

Instead of using #SUb try getting the exits on the fly as you assign them with the #TAG command. Like this:
#TRIGGER {^#(%d) : (%*)$~[Exits: (%*)~]$$(%*)} {#VAR exits "";#LOOP %numwords(%3) {#IF (!(%i2)) {#VAR exits %concat(@exits, %word(%3, %i), " ")}};#TAG vnum,name,exit,desc {%1} {%2} {%trim(@exits)} {%4}}

*sigh* You would expect that to work, considering that if you #ECHO the stuff the trigger finds, it's exactly the correct information :
I don't know why it's being so difficult.

#ECHO shows ->>>

Well, then, now I don't know what else to say. In theory, it should work, but I really don't know why it doesn't.
