I play a mud which uses this format:

In the prompt, the 'RUSH' keyword is toggleable, so optional.

I can't get the mapper to recognize this correctly, for some reason.

I have tried manually reconfiguring, to no avail.

What am I doing wrong here?

First off, when dealing with code issues, actual manipulatable text is much preferred over images of text.

That said, many mapping issues can be solved my making triggers to tag (#HELP #TAG) the various room elements.

In this case it seems to capturing the name and description just fine, but not the exits.

The reason I used screenshots is because there are multiple settings.

I was on a similar path, but it does not work.

I have found the help page

I have this trigger:

pattern: ^~<&xp_needed~>xp*r~[&roomnr~] ~[H&hp M&mana V&move~] ex~[&exits~]
trigger: #TAG vnum,exits %2 %7

But as soon as that trigger is active, reconfigure mapper does NOT get the name, description OR the room number etc.

This is the page i found:

https://www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/help6/Overridi.htm

btw, on that page they use the tag 'exit', you use 'exits' .. which one is it?

Likely just a typo on my end, I wasn't looking at the help files.

I had to edit my pattern cause i saw an extra space in it.

I added your trigger, changes nothing.

Which is not that strange as basically it's the same trigger as I had already made myself.

It simply does not work. For instance, the roonnumer. At the very least I would have expected it to get the roomnumber correctly, but it doesn't. It still uses zmud-generated roomnumbers instead of the mud ones.

The #TAG thing does not work. Maybe a trigger setting?

The trigger DOES fire as the variables are filled correctly.

There are simply too many settings in to many places. Under preferences for instance, there's also a prompt setting.

Also in the mapper when I do 'delete configuration' nothing seems to happen.

Maybe I just don't know how it's supposed to work?

I was under the impression that, once setup correctly, you can walk around on your mud and then the mapper creating a map.

pleaes do not get me wrong, I really appreciate your help and wold love to get this working

When tested, your patter does not match the prompt.

However, this is not bad, as I already have the working trigger fot that.

Well we might need to test if the trigger is firing at all:

#PRINT I see the Prompt!

And to ensure the numbers use

#TAG vnum %3

You do still need to have the map in edit mode to update room data via script.

Also, you are not using the updated pattern i supplied, without the single space before the r{number}.
It will capture the optional RUSH.

My trigger fires. This has been tested already.

Your trigger is basically the same one. I switched the RUSH| part by a simple *, as the mud also sometimes inserts different things there.

Lastyly vnum is %2, not %3, and exits is %6, not %7 (the latter one I did wrong myself)

Posted: Sun Oct 01, 2023 12:38 pm

Yes, the variables numbers are different because my pattern included an extra variable for the RUSH state.

I am explaining the code I provided, so i used my numbers.

Agreed.. wel I won't be stubborn for a second, and use your trigger again.

I feel the issue is with the #TAG thing, as my own trigger does fire, but for instance the room number isn't conveyed.

I don't really see why, but your trigger doesnt match the pattern..

Posted: Sun Oct 01, 2023 12:50 pm

You still haven't showed the actual trigger you are using.
Not fully. Just the pattern.
And definitely not in text form.

If you want help, make it easier for folks to help you.
We cannot copy and paste code out of an image to try it locally.

This is not to say images aren't also useful, just don't rely on them exclusively.

Provide your code as plaintext.
Provide the plaintext your trigger is supposed to firee off of.

I did, in my second post...

quote:
pattern: ^~<&xp_needed~>xp*r~[&roomnr~] ~[H&hp M&mana V&move~] ex~[&exits~]

The current pattern I'm using is:

^~<(%d)~>xp*r~[(%d)~] ~[H(%d) M(%d) V(%d)~] ex~[(*)~]

This pattern in and on itself works, and fires. See test screenshot.

#print does not work, #show did. It shows it firing.

To be perfectly clear.. this is my current trigger, in text.

I have no current rooms, so updating is no hassle.

Again, reconfiguring the mapper doesn't produce different results. It just didn't see the room.

So.. suppose I have no map yet and I'm starting from fresh. I goto a room, move, the normal way, shouldn't it then get the new room in the mapper?

The output of the reconfigure with this tag trigger. Now it doesn't recognize anything :)

Posted: Sun Oct 01, 2023 1:39 pm

Well, you can remove the #SHOW message now that you have confirmed the trigger is indeed firing.
That is just a debugging tool to use whenever you are fiddling with the pattern.
I suggested #PRINT specifically because triggers cannot fire off of printed messages. But that may be new with CMUD.

#SHOW and #ECHO will cause triggers to fire (Useful!), or get caught in room data.

I suspect this is why it did not capture the room properly as well.

Oh, is your trigger set to be on prompt instead of on newline?
It's the checkboxes on the pattern tab. Er... the Script tab.

#PRINT does not work in zmud.

But yes, I tested it with and without, no difference.

Same for the 'newline/prompt' setting. Makes no difference.

I just found something.. setup directions (n, s,e,w).. no difference.

Just noticed.. I got the help finally working (instructions for windows 10: https://discord.com/channels/747961362621268178/747961362621268181/1158046133793329162) and found the possible TAG values.

one of them is room name.

So for testing, I added:

ok, it was 'name' instead of 'room'.. and then it does show the room name.
strange it doesn't capture the room number and exits correctly

Ok, suppose i set this in my trigger:
