Huge subbing question.
|
Hey,
Let's say I have giant (SQL) database of characters. I have their short description, their names and name of guilds they're part of. How should I make subbing text from MUD so it would be most efficient?
For example, most simple would be:
#trigger {({@character_short_or_name})} {$sub = @substitute_database.%1; #SUB $sub} |

I'm not sure you can make it more efficient than that, except that you could use @substitute_database in the trigger pattern instead of @character_short_or_name.

Wouldn't this work?
#sub %db( @substitute_database, %1) %2 |

Well, as far as we know, there is no %2. But yes, you could use the %db() function instead of the shorthand @substitute_database.%1. But it won't really be any more efficient. It's just a different syntax for the same thing.
