Simple multi-state trigger question
|
Okay, so I'm trying to fix up some triggers to move me around on the map when I follow someone in my group. So if Quarren is the leader:
Quarren leaves east.
You follow Quarren.
What throws this off a little bit is that sometimes, if there are several people in the group, one of the others will follow him first, leaving me with something like this:
Quarren leaves east.
Haksu leaves east.
You follow Quarren.
Based on the documentation I figure the best way to do this is with a multi-state trigger, but I've never done anything with them before and I can't make the thing work. Any ideas? |

Try this...
| Code: |
#VAR Leader "Quarren"
#TR { @Leader least &%w{MapDir} } { }
#COND { You follow @Leader} { #MOVE @MapDir }

Hrm, it will work, but not when I'm blind or don't have a light. In that case I get this:
Someone leaves east.
You follow someone.
What I was thinking was a trigger that would fire on: "%w leaves %w." and then switches to a state that fires on "You follow %1" to #move %2 ? I tried to do this but it just crashes zmud. |

#TR {{@Leader|Someone} least &%w{MapDir} } { }
#COND {You follow {@Leader|someone}} { #MOVE @MapDir }
Try that. |

Thanks Ton... although I think you mean 'leaves' instead of 'least' but I'm malathion gets what you mean.
Curious on many other MUDs of played you can't follow someone if you're blind. (And it makes RP sense too... but whatever  ) |

Perhaps on that mud you are tied to the leader by a rope
