Hi, I'm new to scripting in zMUD so pardon if its a stupid question.
I'm using the database and finished setting triggers to record the values from a regular Identify output from my mud. Everything worked well with that. Now I made a command so that when I type " find "something" " (the command name is find of corse) It would search through the database names and show the stats of the item the same way as the mud does if it matches only 1 item by that keyword or list all items that have that keyword in their names. I succesfully made it work, but in some parts of the script, zMUD is giving me "Syntax error" that I cant find. I'll post the part where the syntax error occurs:
#IF (%db( @busqueda,cast) != %null) {#SAY Casts spell: %db(@busqueda,cast);#COLOR white}
^syntax error
Now, as far as I know there shouldnt be a syntax error there, but somehow I cant get to make it clean. I think it has something to do with the #COLOR function, couse when I take it out, it shows as ok, but every other #IF that has a color on it shows syntax error.
Now this is the complete alias so if anyone would like to check it out and point me the errors can do so. The variable names are written in spanish as it is my mother tongue.
Alias find:
@busqueda = %null
@itemname = %null
#DBload eq
@busqueda = %find( %1, all)
#IF (@busqueda=%null) {
#ECHO No hay equipment con ese nombre
#color 12
}
#IF (@busqueda=~%deq|%deq) {
#SAY Items en el database
#echo ------------------------------------
@hasta = 50
#until (@hasta <= 0) {
@Itemname = %db( %item( @busqueda, @hasta), name)
#IF (@itemname = %null) {} {
#say %db( %item( @busqueda, @hasta), name)
#co 12
}
#ADD hasta -1
}
@busqueda = %null
#echo ------------------------------------
}
