Zugg Software :: View topic - IF statement based on parsing multiple lines for trigger tex

Newbie Joined: 25 Aug 2004 Posts: 7

I have several IF statements working successfully and many triggers likewise.

What I want to try and do is look in a location and act depending on what I see. For example when I LOOK HERE:

A bronze helmet
A stern merchant
An angry bunny
<health prompt>

What I want to do is scan those lines and bash angry bunny if I see one but if theres no angry bunny just 'sheath sword'.

So I think I need an IF statement that can act on the list of items. Or maybe a trigger inside an if statement. Not sure. Any ideas?

Make an alias for looking.

In the value Set a variable to null
#var mob %null

Make a trigger that matches the mob that you don't care for the looks of their face. IE
An angry bunny

For the value put something into the mob variable.
#var mob "angry bunny"

At the health prompt check to see if there were any disagreeable blokes in the room.
#if (@mob!=%null) {bash @mob;#var mob %null} {sheath sword}

Notice that the if statement also clears the mob variable here if there was something in the room.

You would probably want to use #t+ and #t- to turn on and off your triggers so that when you didn't type your look alias they won't be firing. Good luck.
