I'm trying to price items in my shop by using a prompt

vial221988: an elixir of mana (twisted oaken vial) 4 400gp
vial180420: an elixir of frost (twisted oaken vial) 2 600gp
vial222216: an elixir of venom (twisted oaken vial) 2 500gp
vial222230: a caloric salve (twisted oaken vial) 3 500gp

I have a trigger for the above that uses #SUB and send.

PATTERN: (%w)(%d)
VALUE: #SUBSTITUTE {~<send "wp %2|p %2|wear %2|wield %2|get %2|priceitem|put %1%2 in pack|buy %2" "weaponprobe|probe|wear|wield|get|price|store|buy"~>%1%2~</send~>}

#AL priceitem {pricevar=%prompt( , "How much for this item?")
price %1%2 @pricevar}

However, it's not pricing correctly. All I'm getting when I use the price feature is:

H:316 M:410 E:1482 W:1951 <eb> price 400

I know the problem lies in the %1%2 because it's temporary and having a prompt complicates matters.

The end result should be finding a way to temporarily save the text 'vial221988' when I want to price it.

%1 will be vial
%2 will be 221988

perhaps not what you wanted, you may need to change your pattern.

Not exactly, no. I know that %1 will be vial, and %2 will be 221988. However, when I 'right click' on 'price' it gives me a prompt asking for how much I want to price the item. I input the price, and it doesn't recognize the values in %1 and %2 anymore.

After inputing the number I want in the prompt, I want the following command to show in the mud.

price vial221988 400.

Right now, I'm only getting: price 400

I was able to keep the vial number by doing this.

PATTERN: (%w)(%d)
VALUE: #SUBSTITUTE {~<send "wp %2|p %2|wear %2|wield %2|get %2|priceitem;price %1%2 @pricevar|put %1%2 in pack|buy %2" "weaponprobe|probe|wear|wield|get|price|store|buy"~>%1%2~</send~>}

#AL priceitem {pricevar=%prompt( , "How much do you want to price this item?")}

However, the problem now is we're not able to use variables such as @pricevar in mxp <send>.

So now, it's showing up like this.

H:316 M:410 E:1482 W:1951 <eb> price vial221988 @pricevar

The prompt is completely unrelated to your problem. You just aren't sending %1 and %2 to the alias when you list it as a menu option in the MXP send.

PATTERN: (%w)(%d)
VALUE: #SUBSTITUTE {~<send "wp %2|p %2|wear %2|wield %2|get %2|priceitem %1 %2|put %1%2 in pack|buy %2" "weaponprobe|probe|wear|wield|get|price|store|buy"~>%1%2~</send~>}

You're right, MattLofton. After looking at the problem, it was a simple fix afterall. I completely overthought the problem. Thanks! It works now.
