Question about new windows
 
I am not sure if this is possible or not, and have found nothing like it so far searching, so I will ask. With all the talk of automated healing scripts and such, what I would like to do is create a seperate window that would allow me to heal better myself, instead of having it done for me.

What I would like is a window with some columns and rows. Each column is a method of healing, and each row would be an affliction. Recieving the text message that I have gotten an affliction would trigger a variable to turn on in the window showing that I have the affliction, and the appropriate cure. The message that I had healed said affliction would then triggger the variable to turn back off.

This is the basics of what I would like to do... Anyone know if it's possible?

i use the following in my status window:

%ansi( high, white)" 4 "%ansi( high, @c_ar)car

when armor drops, c_ar is set to red, when i attempt to recast it it is set to blue, and if succesfull, green, car is my alias for the spell and 4 is the spell # in the mud i play (you can type "c 4" instead of "c armor"

setting the c_ar (color_armor) variable to a color red/blu/green lets me take a quick look at all my spells, i even used MXP on all of em so i can click to sent the alias to my main window and cast the spell. You can adapt it for healing use.

I would suggest making a window that is full of buttons. By saving the settings for that window to a file with the same name it will automatically be loaded the next time you open that window. You can then use the focus character (default of ':') to send commands between your main window and your child window. See the help on Multiplaying for examples of this. Also take a look at the compass.mud file that comes with zMud for more examples (#WIN compass).
