I need to be able to check objects for proper effects on a mud where I do the area co-ordination. It takes quite some time to check all the objects vnums with a single command for each object. What I would like is an alias to start with a certain vnum and end with a certain vnum.

Basically it would start with for example, object 1 run the command to check what the object effects are then increment by one until it gets to the end vnum.

Anyone have an idea on how to do this?

Would a simple loop do the job?

#LOOP start,end {command to check object with vnum %i}

You could use this in an alias like this:

#ALIAS checkobj {#LOOP %1,%2 {command %i}}

Usage: checkobj 1 20
command 1
command 2
command 3
...
command 20

Hope this helps.

Hm, that worked but I need to do this in blocks of 100. Is there a way to add a wait for every one done so I do not spam myself off?

Yes, you can use the #WAIT command.

#WAIT milliseconds

--
#ALIAS checkobj {#LOOP %1,%2 {command %i;#WAIT 1000}}

This would wait one second before reiterating the loop.

That worked like a charm.

Thanks very much.
