Post subject:  Pulling the trigger
I was wondering if any of those that use zMUD, and triggers, could enlighten me.

I am trying to get my triggers to use wild cards.

Example:
Benji the Brave bashes Navel the Newb and sends him sprawling!

Instead of my current trigger: "BASHED!!!"
I would like: "Benji the Brave BASHED Navel the Newb"

I know I could look at the line RIGHT above BASHED and see what happened, but I would rather see it in that nice pretty ECHO blue instead of some of the darker colors my old eyes have trouble reading.

I tried using some of the wild card code I found in zMUD help files, but my different combination do not seem to be working.

PS: This example above was based solely on fictional characters and has no connection to any characters in game, or any opinions I might have on such characters if they existed.

this should work....
Trigger-
%1 bashes %2 and sends him sprawling!

Value-
#echo %1 BASHES %2
------
I only had your example to work with.. but when tested it out looked like

Benji the Brave BASHES Navel the Newb

so i think that's what you're looking for, if the trigger string is different however, you should fix that before putting it in.

Ah. The wild cards are saved at the respected values then you can repeat them in the echos. I think I understand now.

Thanks! I will play around with that.

Actually, if you want to be more specific with your input, I would use some of the custom variables (e.g. %w for a word * for anything) and encase them in () for the valuable to be captured, and then when you have to output, you simply use %1, %2 and they get spat out in the same order they got captured.

What he's saying, is that instead of using

Quote:
Trigger - %1 bashes %2 and sends him sprawling!

you could use
Quote:
%w bashes %w and sends him sprawling!

OR you could have used
Quote:
%* bashes %* and sends him sprawling!

There are actually TONS of things you could use so long as your output is the same
Quote:
#echo %1 BASHES %2


I just like using the ones that are easier to understand at first glance:)

I use MUSHclient, are the commands the same that are for his triggers, that are for mine?

I am almost positive that Peso is behind the now widespread knowledge about triggers.

Peso, for shame.
