I want a trigger that I can turn on and off with the trigger word "hours". I think that is a trigger right? What I want it to do is stand up move to a location drink move back and sit down. This is what I have have so far but cant make it work. All help is greatly appriciated.

#TRIGGER {hours}{#ALARM -10:00 {stand;u;n;drink f;s;d;sit bench}}

I want it to do more advance stuff also like when game says I am hungry to walk to the store by food eat food go back and sit back down. I think I can combine them so they are in the same trigger that I can turn on and off. right?

Confused....

Thanks in advance.

It seems you have a couple of common terms confused.

You want an alias, when you type hours, which will make you stand, move a couple rooms, drink, move back, and sit every 10 minutes. if that is what you want, all you need to do is
#ALIAS {hours}{#ALARM -10:00 {stand;u;n;drink f;s;d;sit bench}}

To turn it off, you need to
#unalias hours
but then you need to type the whole alias in again the next time.

It can get a little more complicated if you want an on/off switch, so I will wait to see if this helps. The only way I can think of doing it is to add an on/off variable for it, and an #if statement. Maybe someone else has a better idea.

A #trigger is a command which executes when you recieve text on your screen from the mud, or from another trigger or alarm.

For example, a trigger related to your above topic

#Trigger {You are thirsty} {stand;u;n;drink f;s;d;sit bench}

Hope this helps.

here is an adjustment to the alias pattern This fixes spacing between {} and creates a temporary alarm instead

#ALIAS {hours} {#ALARM "ALRdrink" {+10:00} {stand;u;n;drink f;s;d;sit bench}}

Or if you are wanting triggers

#TRIGGER {You are thirsty.} {stand;u;n;drink f;s;d;sit} "Regen"
#TRIGGER {You are hungry.} {stand;dirs and commands} "Regen"

To turn them on #T+ regen
To turn them off #T- regen

OK cool. THANK YOU for your help I will try it tonight. I did have one thought after I wrote that last night. What happens if the character is hungry and thirsty at the same time? Will it try and run both triggers? If so, can I incorporate some kind of if statement with a flag. So it sees ”you are thirsty” waits like 1/2 sec to see if the “you are hungry” command also comes up. If it see the hungry it takes me to eat then takes me to drink after eating. If it doesn’t see the you are hungry command it just takes me to drink. Then waits for the next time for the mud to say I am thirsty. And make it so if I am not hungry or thirsty with in x amount of minutes it does a random action (simple action like who or a social). Or is it better to separate the random action from the above trigger? So I guess I am wondering if I can incorporate some kind of if-else statements into a trigger and or alias and how it would be done in the above example and I think I can take it from there.

#TRIGGER {You are thirsty.} {stand;u;n;drink f;s;d;sit} "Regen"
#TRIGGER {You are hungry.} {stand;dirs and commands} "Regen"

To turn them on #T+ regen
To turn them off #T- regen

THANK YOU much again for you help on this one

I have written an AutoEat script that may help you. take a look at http://forums.zuggsoft.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=10787&highlight=autoeat

You are right the would both run at the same time which isn't good :P, Well managing them both would be a little harder this should work for now....

#TRIGGER {You are thirsty.} {#T- regen;#TEMP "resit" {You sit} {#T+ Regen};stand;u;n;drink f;s;d;sit} "Regen"
#TRIGGER {You are hungry.} {#T- regen;#TEMP "resit" {You sit} {#T+ Regen};stand;dirs and commands} "Regen"

The AutoEat script is great for base eating crap. You just have to have the food in your container or on your person. I was thinking about updating it to try and look at multiple containers one day. And using the latest changes in 7.05 capabilities.
