point, click, kill
 
Hopefully someone can answer, though I didn't find any part of this in my forum search so perhaps it cant be done.

I play a pk mud where you have to use full name of enemy to target them and as you might imagine most of the time I die before can type names like Flarggarzzylks. Is there a way using Triggers and CAPTURE to put those on WHO into a new window in a way I can click on their name and have that name made the variable I use to target enemies?

I am just trying to figure out how to have a list of the threats currently on rather than have to scroll through a database of all possible enemies.

Perhaps one of you folks from Achaea has worked something similiar up for the arena events so you can quickly target everyone who joins and then switch to them as they attack you?

Thanks

Post some sample MUD output of the stuff you want to trigger on and anything else that might be needed. Also, include more info about how you target, how do you know if a player is a threat or not and other stuff you want the script to do.

There are a couple of ways to do this A trigger is the way i am currently going with

When the battle starts it usally will have a line like: mule kicks you!
you want hit him
the trigger: #TRIGGER {(%W) kick you} {get hit %1}

or
you could always just make a couple of aliases for people you come into contact with lol

How about a speed menu? That way you can right click on them, and choose what you want to do to them. It's fairly fast (much faster than typing their name!), and uncomplicated(You don't have to worry about maintaining a list of people, or searching through it). The only time I've had a problem is if text is scrolling really fast, and I can't hit the name with my right-click.
