I play a mud that has the following output after typing in kills. I have a question:

Is there a way to create a trigger that when kills is typed, it comes back with two seperate lists... one would be the mud mobs and the other would be players I have killed? I would guess that I would have to manually put into a list the names of those I have killed but I just can't figure out how to create the trigger. As an example, Rastas is the only player I have killed. All the others are mud mobs.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way for zMUD to decide which are players and which are mobs. You can make a list of both as simply as:

PlayerList=""
#trig {(%w)$} {#additem PlayerList %1}

Please, you have to make this simple for me :) And if it IS simple, then I really suck.

So in the above code, how do I add a name to the list of non-mobs?

And then how do I incorporate this into the KILLS command I referenced?

Basically Fang already said that there's no way to distinguish which from the list are Mobs, which are Players.

That being said, however, I can't believe there really aren't any parts one could distinguish. Maybe number of words (player having a multi-worded pretitle before their name, for instance), or perhaps repeating word patterns in the names of the mobs. Something like that.

Without that information, its pretty much all someone can say, though. And if, no matter what, there are no ways to make a difference, I lack suggesting something other than Fang did above. Just make both lists manually (given you *can* make the difference in your mind).

I know there is no easy way to do this. But I know it can be done. I am no good with scripts and all that, but I can envision me manually inputting names into a list (names of players I have killed) so that when I type the alias KILLERS and what I posted earlier comes back from the mud, it puts two lists into a seperate window.. one list of mobs killed and one list of players killed. I just can't believe it can't be done.

Ahh, I see now. You don't want zMUD to automatically distinguish between players and mobs. Perhaps this:

#var PlayerList ""
#var PlayersKilled ""
#var MobsKilled ""

#trig {(%w)$} {#if %ismember(@PlayerList,%1) {#additem PlayersKilled %1} {#additem MobsKilled %1}}

You add players to the list with #additem PlayerList name and remove them with #delitem PlayerList name.

Or you could make a nice little alias...

I considered suggesting that, Ralgith, but I actually think it's simpler (less clutter) to use the built-in zScript commands - no alias, no temp variable, just a command that does the job. You can add a list with #forall fang|rastas {#additem playerlist %i} which is longer than the alias, but shorter than its code and you only need to do it once per person.

this is true ;)
I'm just an alias freak, I try and cut my command line typing down by as much as possible... thus most of my aliases are 2-4 characters long.
