Full Version: Chaos Rays
I'm looking for something that will echo what my chaosrays have done when I do them. I think ACP used to have something that did this. I tried doing it myself, but I'm not much of a coder, and there are too many combinations for my bearskin and knives approach. Does anyone have the old ACP thing or something? I'd even pay a few (5) credits for it. To be clear, I'm looking for something that echoes back to me what my chaos rays have done--not heal when I'm hit by them. It's just a small thing that would help me keep up in combat.
Should be pretty easy to make, but I'd need a list of the effects. An example of what chaosrays looks like would also save some time. Found a log of chaosrays, I'd just need to know the effects.
I think I have the effects right.

For longer lines, like being hit by three damage rays, that could spill over onto a second line if you have zMUD wrapping the text. It probably won't bother most people, but it looks bad to me, so if you want a shorter one that will always be one line:
That fits on one line with the longest name I know of, and the longest possible combination of rays.

#REGEX "ChaosRays" {^(\w+) is hit by (an?)

Tapping into your stores of karma, you transmute a small amount into pure chaos. Seven rays of different coloured light spring out from your outstretched hands, irradiating the location with blinding strobes.

She's a zMUD ninja, of course.

I just like knowing stuff.
If you're talking about the chaos rays stuff, I found it all by searching the forums. I learned most of what I know about zMUD scripting from Trevize's scripts, the tech support section of Aetolia's forums, and from Karoma.
