Modifying an existing spellup code that I have to be more functional.
When you level and gain a new spell for a spellup you have to add in the spell to the spellup list via something like 5 clicks on a prompt type thing.
I want to get rid of that.
I had every spell in an alias working with #if's to see if you are a certain lvl and are a certain class it would cast. Worked great by itself, but not with the existing spellup cause it uses a mud-side out put of spells you have on you currently for example:
Spell: call upon faith for 21 hours

and in the var it's stored as call upon faith
But my alias was calluponfaith and i couldnt figure out how to get the spaces outta there for the casting.

#ALIAS {calluponfaith} {#IF (%ismember( Paladin, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 30-(@tier*10))) {cast '156'}}

Now, if you have paladin in your @current_classes and are lvl 30 or under (depending also on your tiers which are -10 levels for each tier) it will cast when you type calluponfaith. which is correct. If you go in and change paladin in the alias to a class that you DON'T have listed then it won't cast which is correct.

Atreides_096 gave me an idea with the #ONINPUT command to work with the spaced vars. And I came up with this:

#ONINPUT {^call upon faith} {#IF (%ismember( Paladin, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 30-(@tier*10))) {cast '156'}}

And it works PERFECT. until you change the class from Paladin to something else. then it sending it as a raw command which is NOT what the #if is all about.

With Paladin typing call upon faith results in:
cast '156' <--Correct

With change to Mage typing call upon faith results in:
call upon faith
Your warhorse will not enter here!
obviously if the #if fails it thinks that I want the actually command sent to the mud.

NOTE: the same problem occurs with a change in the level. Rather than 30 make it lvl 300 (which is impossible because the mud has only 201 levels) and it send the raw command.

How, if possible, can i get it to not bypass the #if? Cause I am working with a list of some 80+ spells that in my test run sent every single one to the mud. The ones that I CAN use were sent correctly, while the ones that I CAN'T use because I am not that class or level are being sent directly to the mud.

(i know so much damned background for a simple how do i get this to work)

Why not just add a if-not-true to the if statement? *untested* (I'm not at my home comp)

#ONINPUT {^call upon faith} {#IF (%ismember( Paladin, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 30-(@tier*10))) {cast '156'} {#SAY You cannot use that spell.}}

Just tested and it works perfectly.

#ONINPUT {^call upon faith} {#IF (%ismember( Paladin, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 30-(@tier*10))) {cast '156'} {#GAG}}

#ONINPUT has an implcit substitution for the first command sent to the mud from the contained script. Anything not sent to the mud does not effect this with the exception of #SUB. After the first sub then subsequent use of #SUB is undefined, and I don't know if anyone ever tested it during the beta cycles that introduced #ONINPUT.

The use of #GAG will clear all pending output from the script. So for example:
#ONINPUT {^abc} {def;ghi;jkl;mno;pqr;#GAG}
outputs nothing.
Oddly #ONINPUT {^abc} {def;ghi;jkl;mno;pqr;#GAG;stu} also outputs nothing. I do not believe this is the way Zugg meant it to work. So will report it as a bug.

If you require further arguments such as targetting you will have to explicitly include them in the resultant output.

Aarlot, your suggestion of #SAY would still sent the original command to the mud.
