Hi there, this is probably a really dumb question, but here goes:
All I'd like to do is execute a command to pick something until it's all gone. So I figured I could do this: Set up an alias called pp

#Until (do you wish to pick?) {pick %1}

But when I typed pp iorthir, it only picks one time. Do I have to set it as a @ var instead of a % or what?

Thanks,

Could you post the actual command as you are using it and not the pseudo-code?

I think this is what you're asking for:

#ALIAS pp
#UNTIL (do you wish to pick?) {pick %1}

Command I enter into the mud:
pp iorthir

Returns:
You pick a batch of iorthir.
Right hand ready.

I just want it to keep picking the iorthir, or whatever sting I give it until there is no more to pick, in which case the mud will send back:

'What, exactly, do you wish to pick?'

I thought the #until command would be good for this situation, but I'm probably wrong.

Thanks,

Yes, the #UNTIL command is not used for that. What you need is a set of triggers in which one of them disables the other when you can't pick anymore. Example:
#ALIAS pp {#VAR item {%1};pick @item;#T+ pickTrig}
#TRIGGER "pickTrig" {You pick} {pick @item}
#TRIGGER {What, exactly, do you wish to pick?} {#T- pickTrig}

Aha. That worked perfectly. And makes sense to me. *grin* If ya have a chance, could you give me an example on when and how the #UNTIL command would be used?

A simple example of #UNTIL would be:

batches = 0
#UNTIL (@batches = 12) {pick %1; #ADD batches 1}

Alrighty, thanks a lot. I have one more question. This should be on the beta forum, but I can't get into it.

Everytime I log onto the mud, after inputting my username and password it asks if I want to create an autologin script. I click don't ask again, yet everytime I log in, it pops up. This hadn't happened with the previous versions of zmud I've had, so I'm assuming it's something with the beta.

Any clues?

Thanks again,

Edit the properties for that character (in the Character Selection screen), and in the Character tab uncheck "Automatically use this character name and password to log in".
