You extract the information using a trigger (see #TRIGGER command). You store the information using variables (see #VARIABLE command). You display the information on the status bar with the #STATUS command. For the sample line you provided the commands would be something like this, for command-line entry.
#TR {HP: (%d)~((%d)~) Tactics: (%d)~((%d)~) Xp: (%n)} {#VA hp %1;#VA maxhp %2;#VA tac %3;#VA maxtac %4;#VA xp %5} {} {prompt}
#ST {HP: @hp~(@maxhp~) Tactics: @tac~(@maxtac~) Xp: @xp}
NOTE: Additional spaces may be necessary in the trigger pattern |

"for command-line entry"
Enter it at the command line. That's the box where you do most of your typing. It's usually at the bottom of the main window. |

Yes. Instead of writing code and compiling it for use, all you need to do is copy and paste the code he wrote into the command line, and press enter. zMUD will parse it all and create everything for you. Sometimes, it is better for everyone to show some ambition and try to solve the problem yourself, you will remember the solution more clearly and it will save everyone some time in the process :)

Yes, copy-paste the whole thing. It's actually two lines, and if you use the clipboard it should preserve the carriage-return between them.
I've separated the two lines below, in case you prefer to enter them one at a time.
#TR {HP: (%d)~((%d)~) Tactics: (%d)~((%d)~) Xp: (%n)} {#VA hp %1;#VA maxhp %2;#VA tac %3;#VA maxtac %4;#VA xp %5} {} {prompt}
#ST {HP: @hp~(@maxhp~) Tactics: @tac~(@maxtac~) Xp: @xp} |

In that case, the trigger probably isn't working. That's because the trigger pattern doesn't EXACTLY match the MUD output. That's because some places in the MUD output have more than one space. As I said in my NOTE in my first reply:
ADDITIONAL SPACES MAY BE NEEDED IN THE TRIGGER PATTERN
The forum only displays one space. Find where the extra spaces are needed and add them. |
