Zugg Software :: View topic - Placing multi-line exits into a variable

Beginner Joined: 09 Jan 2004 Posts: 17

I need to capture the individual exits in a line like this:

Obvious exits are: down, east, north, northeast, northwest, south, southeast, southwest, up, and west.

And place them into a variable. I've tried searching the forums and fooling around with commands, but nothing has worked. I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

I usually get around this by configuring my settings on the mud to have a screen width of 2048 characters and let zmud wrap for me at whatever I define zmud to. This way zmud is passed the string entirely and then decides what to do with it.

I originally started doing this so the mudreader plugin would work a little easier.

This is usually just one line, even though it's been wrapped and looks like it's more than one (similarly, this entire paragraph is just one line even though it's been wrapped to look like three or four). A single line trigger will usually work and should be the first thing you try.
#TR {Obvious exits are: (*).} {#VAR exits {%replace( "%1", " and ", " ")}}

If it is multiple lines, then add a multi-state trigger. It's probably not necessary though.
#TR {Obvious exits are: (*)} {#VAR exit1 {%1};#IF (!%ends( {%1}, "." )) {#VAR exits {%replace( "%1", " and ", " ")}}}
#COND {(*).} {#VAR exit2 {%1};#IF (!%ends( {@exit1}, ".")) {#VAR exits {%replace( {@exit1 @exit2}, " and ", " ")}}} {Within|Param=1}
