How to make zmud read a name stored in a variable?

example:
When I click the desired button that I made it:
#prompt Norak;#T+ Norak1

Then I want to gate the name in the prompt, but how to tell ZMud how to read the prompt.

Thx

you'll have to make a trigger for your prompt and populate variables.

for example:

< 89 HP | 90 MP >

Trigger:
~< (%d) ~| (%d) MP ~>

Value:
hp=%1
mp=%2

Look up Triggers, Pattern Matching in the help files. If that doesn't do it. Provide your prompt and many of us could help you with the proper pattern matching.

Not sure about this but,

I'm guessing the "gate" means to translocate or
use a "gate" spell on someone.

The button you made seems to open a class folder
called Norak1 and the variable Norak will hold the
name of a person to "gate"..?

If these things are true,
you may just be able to do something like this...

Cast gate at @norak
You can view the value stored in Norak by using the #Echo command

#echo Norak value is {@norak}

so in closing...

you push your button, it opens the Norak1 class folder
and gives you a prompt.

you could try something like this for your button...
#T+ Norak1
#echo Norak value is: {@norak}
#prompt Norak "enter new Norak value"
#wait 5000
#echo Norak value is now : {@Norak}
cast gate at @Norak

This wil give you 5 seconds to type in a name.
alternatively you could just make an alias called gate.

#ailas Gate (%x)
value:
@norak=%1
#echo Norak value is now: {@norak}
#T+ Norak1
cast gate at %1
>or cast gate at @Norak<

sorry, just tryin to help a lil,

Both Glinka and Toetag thanks.

I realised that next time I need to be more transparant with my questions.

Didn't replied before coz I was still used to the old old forum that send an email when you had a reply :P

PS: Glinka hit the spot! :D
