I'm trying to write a set of rating triggers for an Emlen using Zmud 6.22. I tried using some new state triggers and some lists, but just couldn't get it to work out... I kept getting output to the mud where it didn't belong.

For those who don't play Emlens, rating is a list of the top ten rated players (based on stats... which can change with spells) on both sides of the mud. Changes in rating can be used to determine who is logged in on the other side.

When I type the rating command, I get something along these lines:
[Top Ten Rated Players]
* #1 Ammo <white space here> ----> 487 <Rating>
* #2 Kashiro ----> 456 <Rating>
etc... through 10. I want it so that when I type rating, I get a popup message saying "Blah's rating has changed from blah to blah."

If anyone could help me with this, I would really appreciate it.

Create a variable @Ratings to store everyone's rating in, then use this trigger to compare ratings and update them.




#TR {^~* ~#%d (%w)%s----~> (%d) ~<Rating~>} {


   #IF (%db(@Ratings, %1) <> %2)  {#MESSAGE %1's rating has changed from %db(@Ratings, %1) to %2}


   #ADDKEY Ratings %1 %2


   }
