Could someone help me with a simple trigger to count how many times a skill is used.

In my mud, your skill raises based on how many times you used it. For example, if I want to practice the "choke" skill, I want to know how many times I have done it successfully.

The message below is the message I get when I succeed at the skill.

"You concentrate and constrict your victim's throat."

And when it raises, this is the message:

"You feel better at using choke."

Anyway to keep an ongoing trigger that keeps count of how many times i've used the skill successfully? I'm using version 4.62.

#TRIGGER {^{You concentrate and constrict your victim's throat.|You feel better at using choke.}} {#add skillcount 1}

Could you explain what #add skillcount 1 does?

Is it skillcount a variable, alias, etc...

Thanks.

skillcount is a variable, initialize it to 0 or whatever number you want to start at
#add skillcount 1
increases the value held in the skillcount variable by 1

oh awesome, that worked!

Just a quick question,

The

You concentrate and constrict your victim's throat.|You feel better at using choke

Does that mean if either those two strings pop up in the mud, then it'll add 1 to skillcount?
