Scanning Help
 
Good Evening, I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm looking to write a script that will scan for mobs and then move to the direction it is in. For all intents and purposes, I need to be able to set a variable with the mobs name to detect which mob to move towards. Below is the syntax I'm for the script: Thank you so much for all your help!!



You start looking in the different directions :


You check out this room and see :
- Character

You look north and see :
- Mob #1

You look west and see :
- Mob #2

Something like this should work in CMUD.
Stores all the mobNames in a dbVar then assesses the data in 5 seconds (to ensure everything had time to be captured, this time can be shortened)
Code:

targetMob=some mob

#TR {You start looking in the different directions :} {
  scanMobs=""
  #ALARM "mobSort" +5 {#RAISE onMobsFound}
  }

#TR {You check out this room and see :} {
#COND {*} {
  #IF (%match(%line, "- ([%w%s])", $mob)) {
    #STATE 1
    $this=%db(@scanMobs, here)
    $this=%additem($mob, $this)
    #ADDKEY scanMobs here $this
    }} {within|param=1}

#TR {You look (%w) and see :} {}
#COND {*} {
  #IF (%match(%line, "- ([%w%s])", $mob)) {
    #STATE 1
    $this=%db(@scanMobs, %t1)
    $this=%additem($mob, $this)
    #ADDKEY scanMobs %t1 $this
    }} {within|param=1}

#EVENT onMobsFound {
  #FORALL %dbkeys(@scanMobs) {
    $this=%db(@scanMobs, %i)
    #IF (%ismember(@targetMob, $this)) {
      #IF (%i!="here") {%i}
      kill @targetMob
      }}}

Would that also work in Zmud? Sorry, I don't have CMud.

You need to add more of the dirMob variable names where I put the etcs.

Code:
targetMob=some mob

#TR {You start looking in the different directions :} {
  hereMob=""
  eastMob=""
  westMob=""
  //etc etc
  #ALARM "mobSort" +5 {onMobsFound}
  }

#TR {You check out this room and see :} {
#COND {*} {
  #IF (%match(%line, "- ([%w%s])", thisMob)) {
    #STATE 1
    #VAR hereMob %additem(@thisMob, @hereMob)
    }} {within|param=1}

#TR {You look (%w) and see :} {}
#COND {*} {
  #IF (%match(%line, "- ([%w%s])", thisMob)) {
    #STATE 1
    #VAR %concat(%t1, "Mob") %additem(@thisMob, %expand(%concat("@", %t1, "Mob")))
    }} {within|param=1}

#ALIAS onMobsFound {
  #FORALL "hereMob|eastMob|westMob|etc" {
    thisMob=%expand(%concat("@", %i))
    #IF (%ismember(@targetMob, @thisMob)) {
      #IF (%i!="hereMob") {%i}
      kill @targetMob
      }}}

First, you'll need to figure out how to scan for mobs in the game. This will likely involve using a game-specific API or library that allows you to access information about the game world, such as the location and name of nearby mobs.
