Ok, while raiding as a shaman if I'm not smudging a totem I'm propping one but when someone lists off 20 names that need to be enemied, it takes a bit to type all their names out. So how do you get

(Party): Bill says, "Enemies are mike, larry, sue, dave.

I tried doing

#trigger {(party): %w says, "Enemies are %w, %w, <so forth till 20 names>.} {unenemy all;enemy %2;enemy %3<so forth till enemy %21;pt Enemies accuired are %2, %3 <till reach %21> }}

This did not fire at all is it the ()'s around party? But how does one get the the trigger to fire and enemy all names given, Trevise gave me some advise last night but I couldn't figure out exactly how to do it, so I'm asking again here anyone know how to do this?

I think it has to be

#trigger {~(Party~)

You have to add ~ because parentheses have their own function in zmud script.

#TRIGGER {^~(Party~): %w says, "Enemies are (*)."$} {enemies=%replace(%1, ", ", "|"); #FORALL (@enemies) {enemy %i}}

That's not perfect, but it's pretty close to what you're looking for, I think. It's also a lot cleaner than writing 20 triggers.

Laorir has it on the nose. I don't think you need the (@enemies) just @enemies.

You may even be able to use:

#TRIGGER {STUFF} {unenemy all;#FORALL %replace(%1, ", ", "|") {enemy %i}}

I'd suggest making this an ANSI trigger so people can't craft clever illusions, OOC clan tells, tells, emotes, etcetera.

#IF stuff {do stuff} will usually work, since zMUD is pretty lax about syntax, but it's a good idea to use #IF (stuff) {do stuff}. I've had problems with leaving out the parentheses before.

Ok, I tested it tonight, and all it did was enemy the very first person in the sequence it didnt go any further how do I fix that?

Post the trigger and value you have?

Nevermind, I know what it is. You have to put quotes around %1. I forgot Zmud requires you to do that (switch to cmud!).

So it should be:

#TRIGGER {^~(Party~): %w says, "Enemies are (*)."$} {enemies=%replace("%1", ", ", "|"); #FORALL (@enemies) {enemy %i}}

The current beta version of cMud is buggy as - for me.

Ya, I'm still using 2.37 whenever I play. I've played around with the beta version a little bit, but I haven't found anything earth shattering to justify trying to use a beta product for playing yet.

Idk what happened. 3.08 worked fine. Then it forced me to update to 3.10, and now I can't use ctrl+f in any windows (it starts throwing out handling errors about windows and stuff, and then after this it freaks out when I push any buttons/anything that opens a window, or I try typing in the command line).

Thanks works great, and aye cmud ...not real useful, crashes majorly so I stick with zmud

CMUD is still buggy? I was considering trying it out again earlier, meh.

CMUD is relatively stable. Don't use the beta version though.

This.

I live on The Edge™ because I am hardcore and apparently am a masochist.

I think it is hilarious he wanted everyone to pay for a new client and made CMUD which is still buggy as can be. Switch to MUSH. I <3 MUSH now that I've gotten used to it and a semi-functional system in place.

The only thing I hate about MUSH is the fact that I can't switch between World Properties and the main display.

I actually tried to switch to MUSH and had gotten to the point where I could get around in it pretty well. I couldn't deal without the mapper that Cmud provides though. If MUSH ever had something like that built in, I'd probably switch over to that permanently.

You might be able to alter vadimap.

Me too.

I tried switching to MUSH three years ago just before I went dormant, but I couldn't figure it out.
I've been playing with it for about a week now and I think I'm finally to the point where I can build an equivalent system to my old one. The only thing I still need to figure out are stringlist variables and %push / %pop equivalents to rebuild an offensive system.

Recently I've fallen in love with the Send File option under Input. It makes composing help files and equivalents much easier.

How is it different from #SEND?

I'd imagine Lua would have these features/functions built-in, if that's the language you're using.

I copy the composition of interest into a .txt file and set all the formatting I might want.
Send File then reads and sends it line by line.
You can configure commands to do before sending the file (like househelp edit scroll;*clear;yes) and after (like *save).
Basically I now quickly and directly import .txt's from my computer to any journal, newsboard or help file without worrying about formatting.


I'm sure it does, I just need to dig around for them.

Why did I never notice that?...

That's completely identical to #SEND.

Cool. I never used #SEND while I was on Zmud. Did it exist in version 7.20a?

Yep.

Assuming you're dealing with Lua and tables, x is the name of the table, and you're using numerically indexed tables so they work like zMUD stringlists...

%push adds something to the start of the list. In Lua, assuming y is what you want to insert, this does that:


%pop removes the first item in a list and returns the item. In Lua, this does that:

Thank you Trevize. I don't have a use right now but the wholist in zMud uses pop and push so much.

Not a problem. You know you can always PM me or poke me ingame if you need anything.

I don't think table.insert works quite how you explained it.


if I used table.insert (x, 1, y) then x would be {y, 2, "three", 4}
If I just use table.insert(x, y) then x would be {1, 2, "three", 4, y}

%push would have made it {y, 1, 2, "three", 4}

Try something before you post.

The function table.insert does not remove or replace anything. With three parameters, it inserts the third into the first at the position of the second, moving all other numerically indexed items above up one. With two params, it works like your example shows, adding it to the end.

Note that I have tprint, a function Nick made to display table data, enabled for this example. Lines I enter, in order, and the output (if any) in a comment after.



If you want to replace, you just do x[1] = "a" instead.

Also, maybe a little easier to understand is the example in the MUSHclient help file.

I was reading http://lua-users.org/wiki/TablesTutorial and must have confused myself. Makes more sense now, Thanks.
