Hello there, I'm pretty new to Zmud's scripting, all..

Would anyone know how to gather information for like whos in one room, then like throw a ball or something at random people in the room instead of just the same one all the time??

If anyone happens to know how this could be done, please help a new scripter out, thanks.

Peace, Happy New Years.

For a precise answer, please prive an example of what it looks like when you see a list of names in the room. IT can be done... probably. For example... if you have something like this:

Name of the Room
Description of
the room spanning
several lines
Name1 is here.
Name2 is here.
Name3 is here
Exits: N, E and SE

Then this would work:
#CLASS {randomthrow}
#AL setn {setn=%null;look}
#VAR setn %null
#TR "setn" {(%w) is here.} {#ADDITEM setn %1}
#AL rthrow {throw ball to %item( @setn, %random( 1, %numitems( @setn)))}
#CLASS 0

Well.. mud has no room names.. and no descriptions...
The general room has no exits..

I don't know how to make it work with those things out...

it locked Zmud up when i tried it...

Then show me an example of what you DO see, so I have something to work with...

Try this:

#trigger {(%w) is here.} {#additem PlayersinRoom {%1};#alarm +1 {throw ball %item(@playersinroom,%random(1,%numitems(@playersinroom)));#var Playersinroom %null}}

That's pretty cool. I want to do something like this, but have a list of people and items displayed in my status window. I used something like this and couldn't sort elements out of the string list. That, and I can't figure out how to get the list to stick until I change rooms...

Umm... It targets only the same person in the room all the time, it don't go to random people in the same room...

I dunno what to do bout that :(
Peace, thanks in advance..

Hmmm, it works fine for me. It may simply be that the alarm of 1 second is not long enough to capture all the players in the room. Try increasing it to 2
