Triggers and word wrapping
|
Hey, sorry if I'm asking an often-repeated question, but I've not been able to find and answer anwhere 
I have written script that is basically a direction pad which graphically shows all available exits, using buttons. It's working really well, apart from in the event that the list of exits is so long that it wraps.
Currently the script uses the following trigger:
#trigger {^You see exits leading (*)} { #var validDirs %replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( "%1", ",", ""), "and ", ""), " ", "|"), ".", "") }
This usually makes a list of all the exits in validDirs which I can then reference later in the script. However, if the list of exits wraps, the trigger doesn't pick up anything that's sent to another line. For instance, in this room:
| Quote: |
You see exits leading northeast, east (closed door), southeast, southwest, west,
northwest, up, and in (closed door). |
the directions northwest, up and in are omitted.
I know I could solve this by increasing the line length in game, but that really messes up formatting  So if there are any other solutions, that'd be great! |

Increase line length as much as you can and then in zmuds prefrences for word wrap adjust those valuse and Voila client side wrapping that looks just the same as server side |

One caveat however: If you don't set the mud's line lenght to a multiple of your zmud prefs, you'll get line breaks mid-line
