Zugg Software :: View topic - Small scripting problem driving me insane

Hi, Actually I have two scripting problems, one being the fact that I am capturing the output of all channels in a mud and putting them into their own window (using the #cap command). I have two of those windows with command line on them so that when i type in it sends the command to the mud, but here is where the problem lies I am trying to make it so that it uses #send instead of #all but it doesnt want to work with it (yes the alias is in the settings for that particular window). Problem two is that I want to make a trigger or alias that when I am playing with a certain character and type "say This is a beautiful day." it comes out "say Thisisabeautifulday." is there a way to make it so that zmud takes away the spaces? I want to thank you guys in advance for helping me or even reading this.

For the first problem, what is the alias that you are using in the other window?

For the second problem, you can use %replace:
#ALIAS say {~say %replace("%-1", " ", "")}

#AL ooc {#all {~ooc %-1}}
thats what i am using in that window, but I want to know if its possible to use #AL ooc {#send {~ooc %-1}} instead. Oh yeah thanks for the alias it works fine now, heheh, once more thanks.

Why don't you try it? Then you can tell us whether it works or not.

This is what I currently have:

I figured it out, it was the fact that i had it create another trigger, if i didnt put
{You ooc}

#TRIGGER {You ooc '} {#SUB {You ooc} {~(%ansi( yellow)%time( h:nn:ss am~/pm)%ansi( 7):%ansi( Red)%proper( You)%ansi( 7)~)}}

and left it
#TRIGGER {You ooc '} {#SUB {~(%ansi( yellow)%time( h:nn:ss am~/pm)%ansi( 7):%ansi( Red)%proper( You)%ansi( 7)~)}}

It works fine.

I would have guessed that #SEND would work and I'm surprised it doesn't. However, that's why I recommended trying it. You can probably use the :window: syntax to redirect the command to the main window.
#AL ooc {:nomad:#SEND {~ooc %-1}}

Your script makes new triggers because of the #SUBSTITUTE command. It has two formats.
#SUB {substitute text}
#SUB {pattern} {substitute text}
The first format is used to substitute new text for the text matched by a trigger pattern. The second format is used to make new triggers. You used the second format. If you switch to the first format you'll get the same results without constantly adding new triggers.
#TRIGGER {You ooc '} {#SUB {~(%ansi( yellow)%time( h:nn:ss am~/pm)%ansi( 7):%ansi( Red)%proper( You)%ansi( 7)~)}}
#TRIGGER {(*) oocs '} {#SUB {~(%ansi( yellow)%time( h:nn:ss am~/pm)%ansi( 7):%ansi( Red)%proper( %1)%ansi( 7)~)}}

The syntax editor is objecting to the spaces because it's looking for the end of the #SUB's first parameter and doesn't know how to interpret it. The error can be eliminated by adding {} around the #SUB's value. But if you correct the two main triggers you'll be able to delete all the individual ones so it won't really matter.
#SUB {~(%ansi( yellow)%time( h:nn:ss am~/pm)%ansi( 7):%ansi( Red)%proper( Renkalt)%ansi( 7)~)}

Thanks. It's nice to know someone finds me helpful.
