This must be a strange request, cause I've searched, and can't find antything on it.

I have a set of identify triggers that I use to automatically enter items into a DB when I identify them.

The issue is, the mudd has a lot of quests, and being able to find small items is very helpfull. -- Nowhere in the identify process does it list any info about where the item came from.

What I would like to do is setup something that when I identify something, It pops back a question window saying where did you find @item. but I can't find any way to do this in zmud.

also -- the mudd is large enough, that I go days without getting back to town, and carying 100 identify scrolls around get cumbersome, so I keep items in my inventory, and identify them when I get to town.

any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Sounds like a perfect situation for %prompt().

Answer = %prompt(optional_default_value, "text to show the user, explaining what to do")

I would make an #oninput trigger for the identify command with a second state equating to your prompt. In this prompt state, you'd then do the %prompt() stuff and handle all your add-to-DB stuff.

cool -- that works like a charm -- thanks much
I had searched through the list of commands for a while, but could never find it.

Thanks!
