Zugg Software :: View topic - Is there anyway of sending editor text one line at a time?

Hi,
I have developed training scripts in another mud client that are typically about 50 lines long
I send a line to the mud, and I have a long "wait" between each line/group of lines.
Using this I can adjust my speed to that of the pupil.
I can over-ride this "wait" by sending a command, then the next line in the editor is sent
- or I can interject a live response to the pupil by prefixing my input with a special character.

This is rather crude, but it works. Are there similar facilities available in cMud?
Or can you suggest a better way?

It would not be hard at all to implement something like that in cmud. Several ways come to mind.

One way would be to make each of your training scripts into a variable of type string list, with each line you want to send to the mud as a field in the list. So you'll have @gatheringscript, @combatscript, @smithingscript, etc. You have another variable @currentscript, defaulting to null. When you want to start training, you set @currentscript = @combatscript, or whatever. Then every time you want to send a line to the mud, you do: #send %pop(@currentscript). That's just the basic idea. You'd also want it to turn off the training if @currentscript were null, and other details like that. If you explain in a little more detail what you want we can probably help further.
