Zugg Software :: View topic - Trigger to "kick in" depending on next line's valu

When I cast a spell I get one or both of following two lines:

"You have completed your casting."
"You lose your concentration."

I want to use a conditional trigger so that if:

1. I complete the casting without loosing concentration (2nd line) I want to remove the spellbook and wield a weapon.

2. If I complete the casting and loose concentration I want to cast the same spell again (history, using the command !!).

Problem is I cannot figure out how to tell zmud to check the 2nd line (if I lost concentration or not) and then execute one of the two values (wield weapon or cast again).

Any help much appreciated :>

I wish I could give you the whole details, but this needs a multi-state trigger that uses an #IF function to check to see what the next line is. Something like this

#TR {You have completed your casting.}
#COND {(*)} {#IF ("%1" <> "You lose your concentration.") {castagain} {removespeelbook, wieldweapon}} {Within|Param=1}

Something like that anyways

I think this will work. !! is a zMUD command. If that's not what you want, you'll need to use ~!! to send it to the MUD.

#TR Recast {You have completed your casting} {}
#COND {You lose your concentration} {#STATE Recast 0;!!} {Looplines|Param=1}
#COND {} {remove spellbook;wield @weapon} {Within|Param=1}

Probably a very stupid question, but you write:

#TR Recast {You have completed your casting} {}

Could you please explain what the "Recast" is? It doesn't show up on the trigger...

It's the trigger's ID. I used it to be certain of which trigger the #STATE command would reset.
