I used to use zmud back in the day, about 5 computers ago, and recently have a renewed interest in MUDs. I am trying to create a trigger (maybe it should be something else) to quickly set a variable for PKing. I am thinking is should be something like this:

#trigger {pk {%w}} {#var target %1}

my goal here is to be able to type 'pk person' and it would set @target to person

I would then use aliases such as:

#alias kk {kill @target}

to use this variable.

The Alias works, because i can manually set the variable, but the trigger does not. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rider

should be #trigger {pk (%w)} {#var target %1}

that is if you have something that shows pk <name>

In this situation, i would be the one entering 'pk ThatGuyIWantToPK' This command does not get passed to the mud, but is handle by cmud to set the variable.

Hadar, your code does not work for me, maybe i am doing something incorrect.

thanks,

OK, I replied too soon. I set the type to 'Command Input' and it works perfectly.

Thanks for the help.

If you aren't sending anything to the mud, why don't you turn this into an alias instead of a trigger?
[edit]The alias would be made thus:
