Hello, I've got yet another problem...

I've got a trigger based on my prompt, to check a stringlist and run the first thing in it.

Pattern: (%d)/(%d)h (%d)/(%d)m
Value : #if {@powbal=1} {%pop( powq)}

Problem is, when @powbal=1, and the powq stringlist is empty, zMUD starts entering blanks, and scrolls needlessly. How would I stop this?

Thanks in advance.

Check for this in the #IF:

#IF (@powbal = 1 & %numitems(@powq) > 0) {%pop(powq)}

Ah, that works wonderfully. Thanks!

EDIT: Another problem with %pop...

#if {@powbal = 1 & %numitems( @powq)>0} {%pop( powq)} is the trigger off my prompt now.

Now, @powq stringlist gets filled by:
#TR {blahblah} {#VAR powq %additem( "eat blah", @powq)}
#TR {blahblah2} {#VAR powq %additem( "eat blah2", @powq)}

Everything works right if blahblah hits, but if blahblah2 hits also at the same time, %pop doesn't just fire off the first string on the stringlist, but fires off both "eat blah"s.

Thanks in advance.

Use the $ delimiter in the trigger's pattern to tell zMUD that nothing else should come after it.

Yeah, because when you trigger blahblah, it doesn't matter if you have blahblah2343424234 or not, it still sees the blahblah and fires.

So, like Kjata said, you'd want something like #TR {blahblah$} and #TR {blahblah2$}
