I'm part of a MUX(BuffyMUX) and I can't figure out how to set up a trigger that lets me view a character's traitsone right after the other.

Example: I type +bg1 Lurk: I get Lurk's bg1 entry. At the bottom of the entry it says <Continued in +bg2 Lurk>

How do I make it so that when I type +bg1 Lurk it types in +bg2 Lurk or +bg3 Lurk etc when the <Continued in +bg2 Lurk> or <Continued in +bg2 Lurk> pops up?

Actually, I was also wondering now that I noticed the bg command is the only on with the continue on +bg2 lurk thing on it, that I need another command.

I need to be able to type pers1 lurk and see the pers1 lurk file, but I also want to be able to type pers2 lurk and see the pers2 lurk file. I don't want a bunch of aliases everywhere and was wondering if someone knew how to do that one.

My bad, let me explain it.

I found out that the only thing that has the <Continued in +bg2 Lurk> thing was +bg

I need one for +pers

What I meant was I don't want to make a bunch of aliases(Ex: pers1=+pers1,pers2=+pers)

I just want to be able to type pers1 and then later type pers2 without having 5o different aliases to make it work.

They don't follow the same format as +bg because as I have found out, the bottom of the entry in +pers1 does not say <Continue on +pers2>, it doesn't say anything.

Copy/paste what you are talking about. Do one for each of the different things you look at... That would help me out immensely.

Heres the bg screen example:

==============================================================================
Lurk's Background:

Before we proceed into the time of Malurker-Trog, let this passage begin with an introduction to the Grolgo history. Before the time of humans, the Grolgo demons were an outcast species. They were widely known for their peaceful ways and because of this, were looked down upon by the more vicious demons who regarded them as little more than weaklings. Time passed and as the time of the humans came, it was time for the demons to leave the world. The Grolgo settled in a dimension that would later be known as Trachl-Es. Unlike most other dimensions, this dimension was uninhibited and furthermore, had terrain similar to that of Earth.

The Grolgo leader at the time, Herka-Es, was naturally inclined towards the use of magic and because of this, the Grolgo numbers prospered. The survival of the Grolgo was not determined only by their leader's magic, but because of the fact that Trachl-Es had no animal life. Without animals to worry about, such things like epidemics and plagues could simply not happen. During this period in the Grolgo home world, life was cherished and peace was a natural state. However, things would soon turn dark for the Grolgo.

+bg2 Lurk
==============================================================================

here's pers:

==============================================================================
Lurk's Personality: Calm

- The first step towards peace within is calmness of the body and the mind. Lurk, like most of his race, is very calm and very patient even in the most dire of situations. It is a true asset to him as it would be to anyone else.

==============================================================================
see there is nothing in pers or the other ones below it for that matter which can set off a trigger to view all the others. Thusly, I need something, probably an alias I dunno, that just allows me to type in pers1 or pers2 or pers3 etc without having those three aliases. Understand?

Ok... this is a complicated nested #IF trigger... This is untested, but it might work...
