Hey all,

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. Are there any tutorials out there for Zuggsoft scripts? If so, could someone post a link? Very appreciated. Thanks.

Well, I looked there and didn't find my answer. I guess I might as well just ask.

How can you stop a trigger? Say I want it to stop running if variable "a" is set to 1. What command would I use? I saw it mention #STATE, but that didn't work out.

Also, is there an else if or else type of option?

Basically, what I am trying to script is this. I have 6 exits in a room. I need to search each direction until I get a specific message. Once I get the message, I will set a variable for that exit to 1. So each time I get that message, it'll search through each of the 6 variables, 1 for each exit, until it finds one that is set to 0, which indicates that it has not been searched yet. Once it reaches that, it'll search the next exit, and set the previouse exit to 1, to indicate that it has been searched. Once I run out of exits, I will move a room, and search that room.

I'd post what I have but it's a bit crusty. :P

You can use #T- to disable a trigger by disabling the class it's in. #T- can also be used to disable the trigger itself, either by the trigger ID (if you've given it one) or its pattern.

A trigger can also effectively be disabled by putting all its commands into an #IF.
#TR {pattern} {#IF (@a = 0) {do stuff}}

Yes, since #IF allows two sets of commands, one for true and one for false, there are equivalents of else and elseif. The else is just the false set of commands, while else if is merely putting another #IF into the false set of commands.
#IF (condition) {then} {else}
#IF (condition1) {then} {#IF (condition2) {elseif}}

Instead of using variables for every exit, just use one variable and count. You'll probably want a second variable with a list of the exits.
#VAR ExitsSearched 0;#VAR Exits {north|east|south|west|up|down}
#IF (@ExitsSearched < 6) {#ADD ExitsSearched 1;search %item( @Exits, @ExitsSearched)}

Thanks man. The array thing helped a ton.
