Slow Walk help...
|
Here's the deal. I play a mud that doesn't allow scripting to the point where you will be active even while away from the computer. So, what I'm working on is a simple script that will pause the slow walk at the mobs so I can enter the commands manually This is entirely legal as I am entering the kill commands myself.
Now my problem is - it works for the first three rooms, then stops as I kill my first mob. Here's what I have so far:
Path1:
e;e;e;#PAUSE;stairs;s;s;#PAUSE;n;n (continues - much too long a path to display here)
Now, at the #PAUSEs, there is generally a mob there. So, at that point, I'll kill the mob. Since there usually is more than one mob there, I have this trigger:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {You feel more experienced from the kill.} {consider monster} |
This will check to see if there is another mob there, or if the room is empty. Here's the next part of the script:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {No monster here!} {#STEP} |
I've tried using both #OK and #STEP, but neither of them move me along the path. So, what is the fault in my triggers? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

To recap, here's what I have for the code:
| Code: |
#ALIAS exprun {#SLOW path1}
#TRIGGER {You feel more experienced from the kill.} {consider monster}
#TRIGGER {No monster here!} {#STEP} |

I believe the problem is in having #PAUSE in the path. I am guessing you are using the mapper since your triggers don't provide any specific #OK method. You should move the pause into triggers that actually detect a mob. So long as those triggers occur before your prompt the mapper will pause (might require tweaking some configuration in the mapper, but I believe what I said is the default). If you still have problems after making those changes you should post a partial log of the script in action.

Here is that partial log. The script doesn't even go into action. It runs those three rooms, and no matter if I kill the mob or echo No monster here!, it does nothing.

I have it set to go off the prompt for the #OKs. I'm not using the mapper... sorry for not pointing that out earlier. Now the problem with basing it off of mobs is there's quite a few names (around 40) in this town alone. That is why I do the "consider monster" because it'll tell me if there is a mob there or not.
Now, I suppose I could do it like this:
| Code: |
#ALIAS exprun {#SLOW path1;#PAUSE;consider monster}
#TRIGGER {No monster here!} {#STEP;#PAUSE;consider monster}
#TRIGGER {You feel more experienced from the kill.} {consider monster} |
But, I've tried that and it hasn't worked. Maybe there's a different way that I'm missing... or a more convienent way... again, any help and suggestions would be appreciated. :)

Never mind... I actually figured out what the problem was. Thanks, though. :)
