Hiya

I need help making a trigger. I have read through the help files
but just can't seem to make it work. I want one that will auto-wield
my weapon when I have been disarmed.

Basically the mud will put out the text.

A (insert mob name here) disarms you and sends your
(insert weapon name here) flying.

I need the trigger to be able to see when I am disarmed
and then wield whatever weapon I am currently using. I
guess I am looking for help with wildcards or something
but like I said havent been able to figure it out

#ALIAS weap {#var weapon %1}
#TRIGGER {* disarms you and sends your * flying.} {get @weapon; wield @weapon}

This is the most basic one i can come up with. You start by copy/pasting the above into your command line and pressing enter. Then, you type "weap" followed by the shortname of your weapon. weap longsword for example.

This is slightly abuseable by players unless you use an ansi trigger (provided your mud shows disarm messages in anything other than grey). Also, it won't work well if you're dual wielding two different weapons. Let us know if you need something more elaborate.

hmmm okay thanks....not exactly what I was hoping for

I was hoping for (and I know this isnt correct)

but the mud puts out something like

$1 disarms you and sends your $2 flying

then zmud does

wield $2

but the problem is that $2 is sometimes three four or five words

but I will use the above thanks.

Right. Let's try an example, to show how my trigger and alias work together. Let's say your weapon is called Flaming Sword of Many Deaths. You have input my alias and trigger above, and you typed weap sword to set your weapon to sword (a most likely short name for that weapon}. So, you are happily bashing on a mob, and suddenly....

A newbie killer disarms you and sends your Flaming Sword of Many Deaths flying.

With my trigger, your actions would then be....

get sword
wield sword

This seems to be what you're after, unless i'm horribly mistaken. Let us know =D

woohoo

okay so the above didnt work...no idea why
BUT I took out the alias and kept the first part of the
trigger, then just put wield hammer

so now as long as every time I get a new weapon
I go in and change the trigger it all works

thanks so much...it was all so simple once someone
else pointed it out

huggles to all and extra huggles to doomfyre

Hmm, no idea why the alias wouldn't work either. It would sure save you having to change your trigger every time you get a new weapon though.

At any rate, i'm glad you got it to work.

How about,

#TR {^A * disarms you and sends your (%w) flying.} {get %-1; wield %-1}

Removed the get command if not needed.
