[Idea] Last Command

mundufisen · **Posted:** Sat Apr 30, 2011 2:57 pm

I think we need to implement some kind of "last" command. On my other mud we have one and it makes things so much easier if you miss a tell/say/etc especially if your connection drops for a moment or two.

The syntax would be like:

last <say/tell/group/cabal or tribunal>

If you type last say then it will show the last 20 says that your character has heard.

Example:

Quote:

last say

History of Say
---------------------------------
Rorey says 'Hello.'
Rorey asks to Syrina 'Want to die?'
Syrina says to a brawny male human 'Help me.'
You say 'Hello.'
You say 'What.'
You say 'This.'
You say 'Is.'
You say 'An.'
You say 'Example.'
You say 'Rawr.'
You say 'Umm.'
You say 'Uhhh.'
Someone asks to you 'Who are you?'
You say 'Hmm.'
You say 'Huh.'
You say 'Something.'
You say 'Like this.'
---------------------------------

Could even have a last emote as well.

Thoughts and or Ideas?

This is a great idea. Very handy in case you go afk for example.

You can do this with triggers. It is perfectly legal, even if Viltrax complains about using the t-word.

Have a variable, $last, %last, whatever. Have a trigger to set it if it is different from what's already there. Have an alias to echo it.

This is actually pretty dumb. I don't think Dulrik needs to waste his time, and more importantly, my time with coding something like this.

If you really need it then you could probably produce a script that can do it yourself.

Of course you think it's dumb, if it doesn't include helping you be the best at pk or hoarding you don't care about it.

But for the people that enjoy the RP side of the game, this is very helpful.

As grep said, this is something easily accomplished with triggers.

Rennus_Dragonsbane posted one a long time ago in the Legal Shattered Kingdoms Zmud Scripts thread; this is the one I started with myself.

If your anything like me, at one time or another you have missed a tell or cabal chat that is important because of alot of talkspam, or more commonly battlespam. With this simple script a new window will be created that will catch all your tells, group tells, and cabal chatter.

Code:

#CLASS {ChatCatcher}
#TRIGGER {%w replies '%*'} {#capture "Group Tell / Tell / Cabal Chatter"}
#TRIGGER {%w tells you '%*'} {#capture "Group Tell / Tell / Cabal Chatter"}
#TRIGGER {You tell %w '%*'} {#capture "Group Tell / Tell / Cabal Chatter"}
#TRIGGER {You tell the group '%*'} {#capture "Group Tell / Tell / Cabal Chatter"}
#TRIGGER {~[%w~] %w: %*} {#capture "Group Tell / Tell / Cabal Chatter"}
#TRIGGER {%w tells the group '%*'} {#capture "Group Tell / Tell / Cabal Chatter"}
#CLASS 0

I do not use triggers, nor does it make this any less useful. especially for new players and the like who has no idea about these forums or triggers like that.

If you don't use triggers, you should really just play Bejeweled instead. It's more fun and less work.

I'm sorry, but triggers is obviously not what makes this game fun. But you could take your own advice, instead of trolling these forums all day.

Guess what's going on in the window right next to this one, RIGHT NOW?!

That's right. Diner Dash. Feels just like playing a character in any one of the several barely-filled SK factions. :drunk:
