capturing and coloring information based on a specific mud command w/ variables
|
My mud has ships/ship fights. each time a ship undocks it is assigned a new random two letter identifier that is unique to that ship.
we use a Look Contacts command to give a data represenation of where that ship is, headed, bearing, speed and in what relation my ship is to the other ship
much like this: [AB] Brut X:49 Y:50 R:1.6 B:251 H:0 S:66 |FS
[CD] Funeral Dirge X:49 Y:75 R:1.6 B:251 H:0 S:30 |FS
We use a LOCK command: lock AB OR lock CD etc to initiate combat.
I have a separate window that updates every 2 secs the information to I receive from look contacts command
I was trying to fathom a way to setup an alias/trigger/class that will allow me to color highlight whatever ship I've sent the command LOCK xx when it sends that info to my second window |

Alias or trigger could both work.
The important part is that a variable gets defined.
myShip=AB
#TR {%q{@myship}%q} {#CW cadetblue} |
