Problem with multiple word variables
|
The MUD I'm playing (Discworld) has NPC's with varying length of names, some with words and some with one. I've got a trigger set up to tell me the name of anyone I attack (So I can use it for "special" buttons - "stab @target with random weapon" (My character dual-wield, so it's nicer to launch specials with random weapons, for cosmetic purposes), "health @target", etc), which works fine for NPC's that can be referred to with one-word names ("farmer", say) but when fighting two-word ones ("angry farmer", say) it will only pick up the first word.
My current trigger is:
| Code: |
targetting %1
#var target %1 |
And, yes, I can see why this will only pick up the first word, but I've tried changing it:
| Code: |
targetting %1 %2
#var target %1&" "&%2 |
But this then only works for two-word-named NPC's!
Ideally, after I get the targetting somethingorother message from the MUD, it would put all of the rest of that line in my target variable, regardless of the amount of words it is.
Anyone know how to do this? |

Um, well, the Discworld engine has a nice in game alias system. Tried that? ;)
And...I think it's something like %-1...Don't really remember...I'll have to check that |

Um, yes, but that doesn't allow me to do what I'm trying to :p |

#VARIABLE target {%1}
As long as you've captured the whole name, multiple words or not, in the first variable, the whole thing should be contained in @target.
So, if you had something like
#TRIGGER {(angry farmer)} {#VARIABLE target {%1}}
then
#SHOW @target
would output
angry farmer |
