i recently found that i can use Zmud on one of my favorite games.... now i really want to make some combat and money making scripts but i dont even know where to begin. ive tried looking at the "finished scripts" but the problem is that the game i play is nothing like 95% of muds so i cant really modify these to work for me. if i could talk to someone who knows what they are doing either on yahoo messenger (darkwrath19) or on AIM (romeo886969) i could supply all the little details that i need the script to do. Please, someone out there help me make these two scripts, i would greatly appreciate it. thanks.

note: i will be online for the next 12 hours or so.

Although I do not think I will be able to help you in the sense of tutoring you directly, perhaps I might be able to point you in the right direction...

Firstly, you could perhaps try using the Trigger Wizards that come with zmud 7.05... if that doesn't help, I find that the documentation of zMUD to be very comprehensive and useful! Of all the MUD clients I've seen, zMUD is probably documented the best. I suggest looking at Getting Started->Scripting first. Later on, as you edit your scripts, you can press F1 on a command/function to see its syntax (if you have experience scripting for another client, figuring the syntax is really what that matters and fortunately, you will find that zMUD 7 makes it easy to do so!).

The Reference section of the help files also has categorised many useful functions/commands so it should be easy to find the right command to get what you want done. Related functions/commands tabs in the documentation should help with this too.

alright...... i need a script that will..... i dont know anything about writing a script but i think this is about all the stuff i need it to do with exact quotes from the game....... any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

1: advance on the mob before attacking (brawler is critter name)
note: 6 second round time on each attack.
note: advancing takes about 15 seconds. when you get close enough to attack it says "You reach a brawler and engage him in melee combat"

2: walk around a small area (start point directions are 3w, 7s, 2e, 4n)<that is actually a full loop back to the start area>

3: search the brawlers(crit) after it is dead (items that might be found are attach, brief, bag. have it put these items into a backpack (put <whatever> in back)) when you search them it gives this message "You search a disorderly brawler carefully, and find $409 in cash, as well as a large bag!" the money isnt actually an item, only the bag/attach/whatever.

4: combat death messages are "brawler collapses from severe bloodloss"

So let me get this straight you want someone to completly write for you an automated kill bot?

Lets go through a couple things here.

1. Read the help files ALL of them they are there for a reason
2. Search for BOT on these forums and read how those are done
3. Whenever asking for help making a bot MUD OUTPUT is always good and also the commands that you use.
4. Pray alot cause getting someone to write for you a bot from scratch for a mud they don't play is kinda hard.

Nexela, it's okay to ask. If you don't want to help someone, then just ignore the post and leave it for someone else.

Darkwrath, what you are asking requires a significant amount of work and far more details than you have provided. It's best if you set your sights lower and learn to do some simple triggers and aliases first, then as you advance your own knowledge of zMUD you should be able to make advanced scripts which are more likely to be exactly what you want than anything done by someone else. At the very least, learning to do simple triggers will give you a better idea of what details are needed for someone else to help you.

Simple script, probably won't work but it's my best interpretation of the details you provided.
#VARiable BrawlerPath {w|w|w|s|s|s|s|s|s|s|e|e|n|n|n|n}
#VAR BrawlerPointer 1
#ALias {GoBrawl} {%item( @BrawlerPath, @BrawlerPointer);#IF (@BrawlerPointer < %numitems( @BrawlerPath)) {#ADD BrawlerPointer 1} {#VAR BrawlerPointer 1};advance on brawler}
#TRigger {You reach a brawler and engage him in melee combat} {attack brawler;#T+ BrawlerAlarm}
#ALArm BrawlerAlarm *6 {attack brawler} {} {disable}
#TR {brawler collapses from severe bloodloss} {#T- BrawlerAlarm;search brawler}
#TR {You search a disorderly brawler carefully, and find * ({attach|brief|bag})} {put %1 in back;GoBrawl}
#TR {You don't see any brawler here} {GoBrawl}

Please don't ask me to explain how everything works. This involves advanced knowledge of zScript which you clearly don't have. If you want to understand it, dig through the helpfiles until you can figure it out yourself.

Blah your right I guess mostly I was pissed cause I forgot to log-off my admin account my comp and my sister got ahold of it and infected it with enough spyware adaware pop-ups etc to keep me busy for days. IE should be outlawed
