trying to figure this out and getting stumped-

I want to create an alias to do the following

Cast a spell.
When that spell completes, I want to send 7 simple commands to the mud, then enter a room and exit, then send 14 commands, enter/exit, and lastly another 14 commands, then enter/exit.

I know I need to create a temp trigger from the spell completing, "You complete your spell..." is the trigger text. After that I'm stumped as to how I should build it.

Thanks!

A trigger is composed of the trigger and the action. You indicate you know what to set as the trigger and you've already described what the action should be. You may need to be more specific with what you want accomplished. Otherwise, I'm stumped as to what you're stumped on.

Unless there is some reason you can't just send all the commands at once, you will likely just need to make a lot of #TRIGGERs to accommodate each step of the way.
If it makes it easier, you can compartmentalize aspects of it by putting them into #CLASSes (folders in the GUI) and using the #T+(-) to toggle them as needed.

Actually I found the exact script I was trying to build, cept its build for ZMud. Whats the easiest way to convert/import this to CMUD?

I tried the editor and sending, and I got Error parsing command: illegal token: 1. Google searches havent really provided any solutions yet other than turning off parsing and some other settings in the editor, with no success on importing.

So how do I convert this?

#ALIAS cdd {cd;#temp {^You complete} {#loop 8-%len( %1) {time};.%1;..%1;#loop 8-%len( %1) {#2 time};.%1;..%1;#loop 8-%len( %1) {#2 time};.%1;..%1}}
#ALIAS kdd {cd;#temp {^You complete} {kneel;#loop 7-%len( %1) {time};.%1;..%1;#loop 8-%len( %1) {#2 time};.%1;..%1;#loop 8-%len( %1) {#2 time};.%1;..%1;stand}}

Thanks!

Well that alias is expecting you to pass it some value for one.
But other then that, all it seems to be doing is send the 'time' command a lot, and for no discernible purpose.

For the record, most all zMUD scripts work natively in CMUD. The only error I see in that script, other then the output, is that the equasion need to be wrapped in parenthesis.
Namely, this: 8-%len( %1)
Should be this: (8-%len( %1))

I suggest you get rid of that alias and simply try to make something of your own, that you fully understand.
Have you tried just having an alias issue all the commands for you?

To make your own alias:
Click the alias button at the top of the CMUD window.
Click the new button in the GUI that pops up.
Enter a name for your alias.
In the large section, enter all the commands you want it to do, each on its own line.

Please be as specific as possible about how this doesn't work/apply.

Because this is more advanced than a simple alias.

I dont want to get rid of the alias, i know it works correctly. It casts a spell that has 3 delayed effects, you cast the spell, wait, enter a room and immediately leave, the effect hits that room, and it repeats 2 more times. Very very powerful spell and the fact you can move and "drag" its effects makes it very handy for killing very tough mobs.

Thank you for the correction to the original, I will see if it imports correctly now.

Some other corrections before it would import... had to delete the . before the %1 Now its importing.

Ok this seems to be working pretty well, except I am not sure I understand how to choose the direction i want the alias to move.

I would think I need to input "cdd e" to have the script cast the spell, wait for the 1st trigger {^You complete}, send 7 "time" commands, then move 1 room east, reverse direction, and so on and so on. However, that didn't work so either I am not entering the initial start command correctly, or its not capturing it.

It should work by doing "cdd e" as you said. I understand what you expect it to do, but you haven't said what it is actually doing. Have you checked what was recorded in the CreepingDoomMoveDir variable? Have you tried adding some #SHOW commands to figure out where it is not doing what it should?

got it figured out...

How can i make this script recognize multiple direction inputs? ie if i need to move 3 rooms east and then 3 rooms back between waves?
