Hi all!

I've got a new brain teaser for you (Well at least it's teasing my brain). Very Happy

On my MUD I've got an attack command that can fire off 1 to 3 attacks. What I would like to do is make a trigger that once that attack is fired off, it will launch that same attack again, but only once, not 1 to 3 times.

EXAMPLE:

Helldagger
Your Helldagger GUTS An Ugly Rat
Your Helldagger SMASHES An Ugly Rat
Your Helldagger MUTILATES An Ugly Rat
Helldagger

Essentially I want it to fire again without sending 3 separate commands to fire it off again.

I hope that's resonably clear. Smile

Thanks in advance,
Tygerhart

a) make a multi-line trigger that matches the first line and, optionally, additional related attack lines.
or
b) set some state variable upon seeing the first attack, then clearing it and firing again after in a trigger that fires on something that you know comes after... ala your prompt.

I see. And how does one do that? Could you provide an example?

Thanks,

What you want to do is trigger on your prompt after you send the command.

That will ensure that you attack when you can.

If you want to make sure that you actually attacked, then you might a sequential trigger of the form:

#TRIG {^Your Helldagger} {}
#COND {>} {helldagger}

where you would substitute ">" with your prompt.

Of course, you need to flesh this out ... and enable it only while you want to attack.
