Character name variable
|
In ZMud, it was possible to use the %char variable to get the name of the current character. I can't get this to work in CMud however. Am I missing something obvious or is the compiler confusing it with the %char() function?
As a work-around I can use %item(%names,1) for the moment, but that won't work with a multiple connection session and may not even be reliable in a single connection session when 1.04 comes out.
Any help would be appreciated. |

Definitely sounds like a bug. Please use the Send Feedback option in the CMUD Help menu to report this so that it gets into our tracking system. Thanks.

You can still use #CH thought, to get the character name of the session.

On it's own that sends it to the mud but if you use %exec(#CH) you can either store it or display it with #VAR char %exec(#CH) or #ECHO %exec(#CH) respectively.

In any case, this is now fixed for v1.04. It was a parser issue whenever a %function and %systemvar had the same name, it would always choose the %function, even if no () were specified.
