So far, I'm lovin' CMud's interface improvements, and I like that it's making me script smarter. However, this one has me stumped.

In ZMud, the following worked perfectly.

You don't need to quote the <> characters any more. They aren't special characters in CMUD. You also need to quote the "" characters, because they'll change your list into a string rather than a parameter of the MXP tag. Here's what it looks like with the fixes:

#SUBSTITUTE {<send ~"#var target %2|p %2|buy %2|wp %2|wield %2|unwield %2|get %2~" ~"Target|Probe|Buy|Weaponprobe|Wield|Unwield|Get~">%1%2</send>}

and it works fine for me. Before, because CMUD's parser was removing the "" it was seeing "<send #var target" and interpreting #var as the command list and target as the label list. Any other parameters were ignored. Once they're quoted out so CMUD's parser skips them, the MXP will interpret the parameters properly, with the string list of commands as the commands and the string list of labels as the labels.

If it were my script, I'd replace the wildcards with the ($localvar:%wildcard) syntax to get rid of the nasty nasty %nns, but that's just me ^_^

Alright, so you might change it to

#TRIGGER {($obj:%w)($objnum:%d)} {#SUBSTITUTE {<send ~"#var target $objnum|p $objnum|buy $objnum|wp $objnum|wield $objnum|unwield $objnum|get $objnum~" ~"Target $obj|Probe $obj|Buy $obj|Weaponprobe $obj|Wield $obj|Unwield $obj|Get $obj~">$obj$objnum</send>}}

to get rid of the repeated calls to the various %1..99s.

Yep. That'll also change the labels to have the name of whatever it is on them, too.

Any way to capitalize the first letter of $obj before displaying it in the labels?

Does %proper($obj) work?

Nope, instead using %proper($obj) seems to leave the Labels with no reference to $obj at all.

Easiest way if that doesn't work would be to add

$obj=%proper($obj)

before the #sub command, then, making

#TRIGGER {($obj:%w)($objnum:%d)} {$obj=%proper($obj);#SUBSTITUTE {<send ~"#var target $objnum|p $objnum|buy $objnum|wp $objnum|wield $objnum|unwield $objnum|get $objnum~" ~"Target $obj|Probe $obj|Buy $obj|Weaponprobe $obj|Wield $obj|Unwield $obj|Get $obj~">$obj$objnum</send>}}

Weirdly, this code doesn't work on the command line, but works fine in the settings window.

If you want to keep the $obj part of $obj$objnum lowercase, just stick %lower round it - if you don't want to do that, you could change the aforementioned addition to $Pobj=%proper($obj) and change all the $obj references manually.

Thanks for the help, this is all working for me now, and I think I understand it well enough to troubleshoot further special character problems in converting my scripts.
