So I am a harry potter freak. And ive been playing my MUD quite long enough to grow bored with its outputs and play with #show, and ive an idea. I recieve lines from my mud when i memorize spells in my books like such

dunno if this is what you had in mind, and there is probably a lot easier/neater way to do this, but you could do the following

#class HPSpells
#tr {^You study * for a few long moments, committing (*) to memory.} {#sub {Silently cursing all the weed you smoke you swish your wand trying to remaster %ansi(white,bold)%1}}
#tr {^You have successfully memorized the spell (*).} {#sub {%ansi(8)......A familiar smoky aura descends as you celebrate your mastery of %ansi(14)%1 %ansi(8).... }}
#tr {'cure blindness'} {#sub { 'Rictusempra!'}}
#tr {'Armor'} {#sub { 'Impervious!'}}
#tr {'Blindness'} {#sub { 'Finite Incantatem!'}}
#tr {'Circle of Fire'} {#sub { 'Aparecium!'}}
#tr {'Counterspell'} {#sub { 'Nox!'} }
#tr {'Curse'} {#sub { 'Inpedimenta!'} }
#tr {'Detect Invisibility'} {#sub { 'Prior Incantato!'} }
#tr {'Dispel Area'} {#sub { 'Orchideous!'} }
#tr {'Dispel Magic'} {#sub { 'Imperio!'} }
#tr {'Enhanced Strength'} {#sub { 'Engorgio!'} }
#tr {'Fireball'} {#sub { 'Incendio!'} }
#tr {'Flame Wind'} {#sub { 'Granvintontione!'} }
#tr {'Frost'} {#sub { 'Reducio!'} }
#tr {'Gate Travel'} {#sub { 'Spingrosa!'} }
#tr {'Hands of Wind'} {#sub { 'Dissendium!'} }
#tr {'Haste'} {#sub { 'Enervate!'} }
#tr {'Ice Storm'} {#sub { 'Tarantallegra!'} }
#tr {'Ice Wind'} {#sub { 'Alam Ventra!'} }
#tr {'Iceball'} {#sub { ' Gantigringi!'} }
#tr {'Identify'} {#sub { 'Serpensortia!'} }
#tr {'Kill'} {#sub { 'Avanda Kedavara!'} }
#tr {'Levitation'} {#sub { 'Wingardium Leviosa!'}}
#tr {'Lightning Bolt'} {#sub { 'Sonorus!'} }

#class 0

keep adding in the rest of the spell names/what you want to see displayed

You could use a data record which will do away with multiple triggers

Create a datarecord

e.g

@PotterSpellConversion

Armor=Impervious|Blindness=Finite Incantatem

etc

Then your triggers would look like this

BTW don't use the %1.%2 etc within the trigger matching pattern. You reference these by using Paranthesis. See below

#TR {^You study * for a few long moments, committing ~'(*)~' to memory.} {#SUB {%ansi(high,gray)Silently cursing all the weed you smoke you swish your wand trying to remaster %ansi( bold, white)%1}}

#TR {^You have successfully memorized the spell ~'(*)~'.} {#SUB {%ansi(high,gray)......A familiar smoky aura descends as you celebrate your mastery of %ansi(high,yellow)%db(@PotterSpellConversion,%1)!%ansi(high,gray).....}}

unfortionatly neither of those helped me. the second one lost me completly and the first was not what i wanted. i still need to be able to see the regular names when they come up in anything other than memorizing unfortionatly. but i have found another snag.

when using #show how do i get it to gag the original line? i tried using gag but that keeps the trigger from firing :( thanks for all the help.

Alohomora is the Open Lock spell, retard.... *mumbles* Even I, am not a Harry Potter freak (OK, maybe just a little), knows that. :P I really have no clue. I don't know anything about scripts or anything. That's my 2 cents.

This is the command you're looking for: #Psub. And this is a finished script for you:

Wow, what a random thing to find, i never even got this to work and its a great idea. sorry for the exceptionally long absence i cant even remember what my password was on TrueBrujah, this is the same user however. This is what ive gotten so far but its still not quite there yet. im recieve this string when i memorize spells and its not correctly retrieving the variable from the list.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could point me in the direction of what im doing wrong... :)
