/OFFTOPIC - You may skip this info:
Okay, so why am I asking so many questions?

The reason is that I am playin a mud, where I am in a clan, where alot of people I really like and really think are cool are. They have helped me since day one, always treats me with respect and always shows me appreciation. I do not have enough time or knowledge about the mud itself to help them out in any way. However, I thought I would try to repay my debt by creating a big zmud-script collection for them to use. I am the one with the most programming experience, but I have never programmed in Zmud (Only some similar languages)
/ONTOPIC

I want to make mobs in certain areas have clickable names. So that if you run into mobs in a certain room, and there are 4 of them, they are all underlined, but you will kill the mob you click.

What is the command for "underline/linking" text into writing vars? I guess it has something to do with triggers.

#TRIGGER {({@stufftokill})} {#SUB {~<send "kill %1">%1~</send>}}

weather its underlined or not is set in prefs under mxp

Hmmm. That makes a trigger called "({@stufftokill})"

It doesn't quite matter since they behave exactly the same, but when using MXP like that I'd use #MXP instead of #SUB. It gives me a clear idea of what I was trying to do when two months later something else I was working on breaks it or uncovers a previously unforeseen design problem.

Both of your answers were awesome :) Thanks a bunch :)

Now on to another problem.

Now I want to create the following:

1) I do a who and a list of players shows up.
2) I want to add the players, via a #Trigger, that has (WHATEVER) as their pretitle to a @var
3) I want a trigger that greets these players and does a spellup on the people on the list in this @var
4) I want a trigger that wishes these players a good day when they leave the room
5) I want to be able to choose with a command/#Alias which pretitle to add to this @var.

The important thing is that ONLY the people in my variable gets this, and the second most important thing is to be able to change what makes it trigger with a command (Or #Alias)

Now what would be the easiest way to do this?

#TR "morewhatever" {~({@pretitle}~) (%x)} {#IF (%ismember( %1, @whatever)) {#NOOP} {#VAR whatever {%additem( %1, @whatever)}}}

This trigger will add folks to the variable if they arent there already.

#TR {({@whatever}) logs in} {greet %1;spellup %1}
#TR {({@whatever}) leaves the room} {wish %1 a good day}
pretitle="whatever"

1) I need to be able to clear the variable completely with a command.
2) How do I set which pretitle it adds?

it adds whatever the value of @pretitle currently is
to reset the list of friends

whatever=""

pretitle="this"
pretitle="that"
pretitle="the other"
