is it possible to make a variable for a list of monster like rabbit,dog,cat,crow etc... so when i type "Kill" it puts "Kill [monster]" and also finds the monster in the room to replace the variable with the correct monster in the room. if so please someone show me how thanks

#VAR monster {rabbit|dog|cat|crow|ect}

#TR {({@monster})} {#SUB {<send 'kill %1'>%1</send>}}

that should turn them into a clickable link that kills

Kind of.... in the general way that everything -can- be done. You need a way to capture the list of mobs in the room, and then you can make a string lists of mobs you want to attack, and have it so that it'll go through the list of things you want to attack and see if it can match any of those words in the list of mobs in the room and then automatically use that one....

However, some foreseeable problems... 1) If you get a list that is something like: A rabbit is dead here. A dog is here. Then it would (as described) keep attempting to kill the rabbit. If you can set up some other script to automatically remove dead things and -then- capture the list of what's there, that would fix it. 2) You will have to update the list of what's (alive) in the room every time something enters/exits or is killed.

Maybe if you post more information about the game you play and what things look like then you can get more help.

Shalimar's way is the best way to do what you're after - just change the monster list to whatever you want the script to automagically pick up as monsters.

ok i play "Bat Mud" and when you enter a room with a monster the letters are bright green and it will say something like this "A large kobold is wielding a trident and looking for trouble" and you would have to type kill kobold but the mobs description is not always the same

You probably mean 'look at something' or what?

The creeper is frustratingly agile for a big toad.
Creeper misses you.
You bump Creeper mutilating intestinal tissue.
You cut Creeper causing heart tissue to fly everywhere.
Creeper's bash sends you sprawling.

You thump Creeper causing heart tissue to fly everywhere.
Because of the low amount of unidle players you receive some additional
experience for your kill.
You hear the horrendous death-cry of the Creeper as it dies.

Completely untested and therefore no guarantees. You need to add the things to the monsters variables that you want it to match. It might also not work if your prompt changes or if the exits line changes... Let me know how it breaks.

You should be able to simply copy the whole thing, paste it into the command line, and hit enter--and that should set up all of the triggers and aliases and whatnot.

In your example, are you entering "kill"? (I cannot see any user input at all but I may be overlooking it.) Did you add "pigeon" to the @monsters list?

yeah i did all that but when i copy and past it only makes the aliase for the kill commands and does not make all the other triggers also varriables is not working

so i have no clue what is up

Make sure you go to Show > All in the settings editor.

Does it give you any kind of feedback when you copy-paste all of it into the command line and press enter?

Beginner Joined: 07 Aug 2005 Posts: 18

it just does not make all the commands or triggers the whole script stays in the aliase commands

EXMPLE: Aliase; kill

all the variables and stuff stay in that window even when i press save

It is normal for everything to still be on the command line, but highlighted, after you press enter (same as if you enter north and enter then it will highlight north but still be avaliable so that you can just hit enter again to go north again).

However, I cannot recreate the problem you're describing. The commands I pasted were copied directly from ZMud so I haven't got any missing braces or anything and when I copy them back to a different profile it all sets up correctly.

Have you perhaps changed your command character in the options?

Are you able to manually set other #VARs and #TRIGGERs via command line?
