Help with "Messages" script?
|
Ok. So here I am in Achaea, I check my messages, and I decide I want to scroll through my messages automatically. Simple:
#VAR msg {0}
#TRIGGER {Type 'MESSAGES &msg' to continue looking at your message summary.} {messages @msg}
----
Then I decide I want to automatically read once, then delete "(system)" messages. Not so simple:
#VAR sysmsg {0} {}
#TRIGGER {Pattern??????} {showmsg @sysmsg;delmsg @sysmsg} "" {case}
The Mud-pattern I'm trying to get it to recognize, as an example, is this:
#1 (system): 8/20/4:42 "A mutton chop has decayed to dust in yo...
As you can see, there is plenty of room for Variables, (Date, time, actual msg excerpt, and so on).
I want it to grab the number of the message (it shows it as #1, but for the commands, you must type showmsg 1 and delmsg 1 as opposed to: showmsg #1 and delmsg #1. The Mud doesn't want the "#" when you input the command.
As we all know, the more exact the pattern the better. Here's what I tried to make the pattern like (one of them, that didn't work):
{#&sysmsg (system): }
I'm obviosly doing this all wrong. UNfortunately, they don't have any similar examples to my problem in the helpfiles (at least not where I would know to look for them). |
