Hi all!!
Still getting adapted to Cmud, and guessing there sould be a new function such as %db() but for variables, which would make things simpler:

Lets think we have one bag for every PJ, containing diferent short of things.

We create an alias, called: BagContainingPjnick

In this alias, we have a list such as the one i send u as image:

The way I would access the "food slot" for example, in Zmud, would be:

@{BagContaining@{PjNick}.Food}

@{BagContainingPjNick.Food}

mushroom

Any new function to do it simpler?? (I mean i would like to get rid of the anoying } )

Thankyou!!

Pd: I searched b4 asking both in forum and in help, as allwayz.[/img]

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. There is a %db function, and it'll do what you're after, but without knowing your exact problem I can't show you how to apply it. The example variable you gave seems to have no relation to the code at the bottom, so I'm not sure what exactly you're doing.

Thanks for the answer, its hard to explain, i will try again:

(I changed the variable names to be more understandable, and used the variable I have on my Cmud)

Using the variable on the pick, the sintax would be:

@{equipoperfecto@{pjnombre}.blandido}

The part @{pjnombre} would return the nick of my pj, being Armagedoom

Then it turns:

@{equipoperfectoArmagedoom.blandido}

And then, it would mean we got this output:

234ab

How to do the same with the %db() function??

Unfortunately that's pretty much the best way to go about it. Your alternative is %db(@{%concat("equipoperfecto",@pjnombre)},"blandido") or something like, which isn't much better. You could perhaps make what you were doing originally look a little better by doing @{%concat("equipoperfecto",@pjnombre,".blandido")} but that's about the best you can hope for.

Try using the hashset function from the package library, then you could
@{bagvar.bag.item}
and
#call @hashset(bagvar,bag,item,value)

Will eliminate numerous varibles and being a hashtable, faster
