The mud passes me my hp (every few ticks) in the following format:

The #Trigger command is what you need. It looks for text coming from the mud (and has its own wildcard format, as well as supporting Perl Regular Expressions) and runs a script when it finds a match. Look it up in the zMUD help files.

#trig {~*~* HP: (%d)/(%d) SP: (%d)/(%d)} {#var CurrentHP %1;#var MaxHP %2;#var CurrentSP %3;#var MaxSP %4}

Then when you want to refer to them in other scripts, you use @Varname:

#echo @CurrentHP

for example.

The other command you want is #ALIAS. An alias is a command that you enter like any other, but which CMUD picks up and changes into another command or series of commands. for example:

#alias t {#var Target %1}

There's much more detailed descriptions of aliases and triggers in the help files.

Woo, thanks. That's awesome & it works!

Everything is working ... now to extend it a little further.

On certain intervals, I'd like to evaluate my @CurrentSP and perform commands if conditions are met.
I could set this up as another trigger, I think ... and have it fire everytime the mud sends me back my hp & sp, but that's not a great way to do it.
Is there a way to have a series of commands fire based on a timer in cMUD? Does that make sense? Every 60 seconds, do something.

This involves conditional branching, which I've no idea how to do. I tried to set up a trigger that fired based on certain events that looked like this:
#TRIGGER ~*~* { #IF (@CurrentSP > 150) say Lots of SP!; }
But that didn't work. It ALWAYS performed the action.

So basically, I'd like to do this:

Every 60 Seconds, if my @CurrentSP is greater than 150
say "Lots of SP!"

Is this possible?

#if (expression) {true command} {false command} - the braces are important. And you don't need a semicolon at the end.

Also, take a look at #alarm.
