By default, hjkl in paths represent nw, ne, sw and se respectively. So 2h in the path will send nw twice the same way 2n will send north twice. Your path in the other thread becomes 2s2l.

The only way that trigger will be set off twice is if the mud sends two lines starting "You killed". You could try putting that trigger in its own class and then using #t- and #t+ to disable it when it's not needed. Have the akill trigger enable it, and then it disable itself when it fires.

Yes, you are totally correct. I had the triggers in there twice.

Well it is working now, and I have had fun tweeking it to work for my MUD and making it all work. NowI guess I need to read a load of the tutorials and learn how to make it better!

Thanks for all your help!

I need help with creating a hunting bot. If somebody is very experienced with this type of stuff, please send me a PM, thank you greatly.

One of these days I need to post an updated version...Really much more code in this than there needs to be. Heh.

is there a way on the paths, to have it execute commands other than the path itself? such as opening a door?

#SL .newns;open e;ene
#pause

is there a way to accomplish this, or would one have to set up a seperate trigger to fire on roomname?

Yes. exactly what you have there should work. If you want it to open a specific door or direction that is not known when the path walk begins then you'd need a separate trigger.

I tried using the following slow path.

#SL .n;open w;wdsen
#pause

This is what happened when I executed.

n
open w
wdsen

Zmud tossed it out like it was just a normal speedwalk alias, and not a slow walk.

That same path worked perfectly w/o the "open w" in it. Just had to open the door ahead of time.

Shouldn't that be a #SL .n{open west}wdsen?
I don't use #SLOW so maybe I'm wrong :)
Or would it be #SL .n;open west;#SL .wdsen?

Prognoi is absolutely right. Keep in mind that you can't test this in a blank session because English Directions package isn't load in the untitled session.

Amazing. I love this script. It's beautiful! I've been using a slightly modified version for a few days now, but I can't figure out how to make it loop. :(

If anyone could help me out with some idea on how to make it loop... that'd be great. :-P

Wow, I'm surprised this is still going. The1nk, you can make it loop...Just set a trigger to fire the starting alias when it sees a line from the starting room. Ideally, it should be unique, although if you play a mud that clones a lot of its rooms...

Alternatively, figure out a way to track when it reaches the end of its path, but I'm not sure how you'd do that I'm afraid. Maybe someone else can offer some advice?

Bumping this thread just to say thanks, it's a really nice script!
Works fine for me, right away, not much editing.
However, I must ask...does the "a1" refer to the akill class or? I don't see something actually called "a1"?

hey guys!!

Congrats on the bot! It's exactly what I have been looking for...

What amendments would be needed if lets say the attack was a spell followed by a backstab?

The problem here is that there could be any number of mobs in the room...

I would need to sleep each one first... If the spells fail, it would need to recast.. (e.g 'sleep' 2.guard or 3.guard)

And then follow that up once they're asleep with a backstab...

Anyone know?

This is a very simple bot and can't really do what you're after. Bear in mind that writing a bot is one of the most difficult things you can do because it involves so many interlocking parts, but also because every MUD is different and even subtle differences matter when writing this kind of script, so we can't do it for you or even offer all that much help.

In short, though, you want to build a list of mobs in the room (by adding items to a stringlist) and then running through each of them by casting, and triggering off the fail message to recast or the success message to move onto the next item. When the list is exhausted, you start the killing.

Sorry to bring this thread way back from the dead... I've been using the script with minor mods to fit my mud output and it works great. However, I recently tried to use it with an area that requires opening doors and such, and it doesn't seem to work properly. I formatted my path just like was mentioned above (i.e. .s;unlock west;open west;.w etc) but it seems to get hung after it performs the first non-movement command in the path. It will unlock the door, then attempt to do the look, kill, etc, and then it just stops because the mob isn't there. For some reason its not doing the next step in the path at this point and I'm not sure why. Any thoughts?

Im novice in this trigger business and these triggers looks very intresting but can't really find out how to write it, am i ment to do like this

on lets say the walking trigger

Pattern: #TRIGGER {^There are * obvious exits:*}

command:
#TRIGGER {^There are * obvious exits:*} {
#ALARM "a1" +2 {
#STEP
#PAUSE
}
} "" {notrig}

and at last fill in class as walk ?

I know this thread is old, but I personally have been unsuccessful in getting it to work. I'm sure it's something I'm not doing right, so far though, when walking, the script just builds a list of rooms and walks them all without pause, or walks them and deletes a room in the path because of the pause, or when I try to ok the walk to the next room using #STEP, it's not recognised and tries to walk two rooms instead of just the next one. I've tried lots of different things, but I don't know that it's workable for all MUD's and in most, such a thing is against the rules anyway :P. I was attempting to mod the script for a different purpose, however I've been unable to do so.

This thread is likely not active, however, if you are running into are specific issues with implementation, I may be able to help.
