Is this trigger possible?
|
For this mud of mine, I seem to be failing my flees alot... And I was wondering.. is there a way to make a trigger that auto-type in flee when I failed my flee? This is the output when I failed a flee...
You panic, and attempt to flee.
PANIC! You couldn't escape!
And for a successful flee.. I won't get that PANIC! You couldn't escape! On the second line, instead I would get a room title or something else... I want it so that it will type the right amount of flees when I failed, but not over do it.. making me flee and flee again to another room.
Not being good with programming triggers, could someone help me out? |

You would do this:
#TRIGGER { ^PANIC! You couldn't escape! } { flee }
That will automatically send "flee" to the mud whenever it detects the PANIC! line...
EDIT: BTW, the carrot symbol (^) in front of PANIC! causes the trigger to only fire when PANIC! begins on a new line. This prevents people from exploiting your trigger.

Thanks, that work... sorta..
The problem is that I would spam flee from the trigger so fast.. that when I do manage to get out of the room.. the commands -flee- are still being inputed.. resulting me to flee again.. sometime back to the aggresive NPC that I was trying to flee from.
Is there a way that I will type -flee- when I have..
You panic, and attempt to flee.
PANIC! You couldn't escape!
But when I have just...
You panic, and attempt to flee.
Texts here(might have period, might not)
I will type -stop-? |

Just don't spam flee, do it once and let the trigger handle the rest.

Malaphus' trigger will send exactly ONE command for each time you attempt to flee and don't succeed. That's exactly what you keep saying you want. What's the problem?
I can think of two possible problems
1. You used the "You panic" line for your pattern, instead of the "PANIC!" line which Malaphus used
2. You have a wimpy which is issuing additional flee commands
The fix should be obvious in either case. |
