Question regarding variables and multiple sessions
|
Before I start, forgive my newbness :)
I'm playing a MUD that allows you to play 3 characters at once, and am working on a status line to display certain information about the other characters. As an example, I have a character named Pork, and am storing his current HP in the variable @porkhp based off a trigger from the MUD prompt. This works, but only in the Pork session. I try and #show @porkhp in the other sessions and nothing comes up. I know that I could have the trigger make the variable in another session, but that just seems messy. Is there a way to make @porkhp a variable that all sessions can call upon?
Hope that made sense. |

Try using @//windowname/porkhp. In most cases, stuff inside a window cannot be seen by stuff that exists outside that window. If that doesn't work, your only other option is to move the variable out into a module.

Hmm.. I was thinking about moving it into a module (still a new concept to me), but was worried there was going to be issues because all 3 characters have the same prompt layout, so wouldn't there be problems with them all trying to define @porkhp ? |
