Spot the problem
 
Because I cannot! I have had a look at this a few times, and I cannot see the problem. It keeps sending a } to the mud I am playing when it encounters an npc I want to engage. It will paste the echo, then the "}", then start combat.
Please, someone point it out! :)

Code:

#CLASS {akill}
#TRIGGER {({@NPCLIST}) * here} {
  #echo NPC's to kill!
  #if (%line=~"{@PLAYERLIST}*here." ) {
    #SUSPEND a1
    #SUSPEND killpause
    #SUSPEND launchpause
    #t- walk
    #t- akill
    #t+ walk
    #t+ akill
    #step
    #pause
    } {
    #if (%line=~"{@killfirst}*here" ) {
      #T- walk
      #T- akill
      #SUSPEND a1
      #alarm "killpause" +2 {
        k %1
        #alarm "launchpause" +3 {sl %1}
        }
      } {
      #T- walk
      #T- akill
      #alarm "killpause" +2 {k %1}
      #alarm "launchpause" +3 {sl %1}
      }
    }
  #CLASS 0
  }
#CLASS 0

I may be completely off because I'm not using structure like that myself, but.

Can you use patterns really the way you do in your %line parts?

That caught my eye first off but as I said it could very well be OK and I'm off here.

Don't have time at the moment to test if this works too or not.

I'm sure someone else will know for sure or point you to right track if needed.

As far as I know, yes. The trigger works, just just keeps sending a } to the mud, but I am having trouble finding where it is.

Thanks,

Indeed it spams the }.

It seemed to me that you had the second if nested as a part of first one. I don't know if its intended, but maybe the following works.

Code:

#echo NPC's to kill!
 #if (%line=~"{@PLAYERLIST}*here." ) {
  #SUSPEND a1
  #SUSPEND killpause
  #SUSPEND launchpause
  #t- walk
  #t- akill
  #t+ walk
  #t+ akill
  #step
  #pause
  }
 #if (%line=~"{@killfirst}*here" ) {
  #T- walk
  #T- akill
  #SUSPEND a1
  #alarm "killpause" +2 {
    k %1
    #alarm "launchpause" +3 {sl %1}
    }
  } {
  #T- walk
  #T- akill
  #alarm "killpause" +2 {k %1}
  #alarm "launchpause" +3 {sl %1}
  }


You should understand, what I changed.

Get back to me with results!

More cleanups and adjustments
Code:
#CLASS {akill}
#TRIGGER {({@NPCLIST}) * here} {
 #echo NPC's to kill!
 #if (%ismember("%1",@PLAYERLIST)) {
  #SUSPEND a1
  #SUSPEND killpause
  #SUSPEND launchpause
  #t+ walk
  #t+ akill
  #step
  #pause
 } {
  #if (%ismember("%1",@killfirst)) {
   #SUSPEND a1
   #alarm "launchpause" +5 {sl %1}
  } {
   #alarm "launchpause" +3 {sl %1}
  }
  #T- walk
  #T- akill
  #ALARM "killpause" +2 {k %1}
 }
}
#CLASS 0
Adjusted indentation to my style so I would be comfortable playing with it.
Changed redundant use matching operator in the #IF's to %ismember
Reduced duplication of code by moving the same portions out to higher level.
Removed #T-'s from the @PLAYERLIST branch as they were followed by matching #T+'s

Just another question!

The mud I play gives a constant health and mana feedback to zmud. Is there a way to make an #if statment to check those values?

EDIT - just making myself clearer, the information is not an output from the mud, it is appearing on the bottom of the zmud window.

Thanks!

I would check, but posting quickly from work :)

Thanks again for all the help.

You can turn triggers on/off with #t -/+.

Alarms you can set certain times and they're disabled until the time is called.

Other than that hrm I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Ah, just thought of a way.

Code:
#class{greetProgonoi}
          #trig {Progonoi is standing here.} {say hello!;t#- greetProgonoi;#alarm "greetcooldown" +60 {#t+ greetProgonoi}}
           #class 0

Or something like that, unless there is a command for it? :)

Code:


#class {greetProgonoi}
#trig {Progonoi is standing here.} {say hello!;#t- greetProgonoi;#alarm "greetcooldown" +60 {#t+ greetProgonoi}}
#class 0



Fixed some mistakes. Unless you typoed you didn't have a space between #class and its name and you had t#- instead of #t-.

Idea is nice though. Ultimately you could just make a dynamic *trigger* with a fixed name.

Code:


#class {greetstuff}
#trigger "GreetTrig" {(%w) is standing here.$} {#say hello, %1!;#t- GreetTrig;#alarm "greetcooldown" +60 {#t+ GreetTrig}}
#class {0}



Just an idea because dynamical stuff like that would open the way to make a list of people you'd like to greet etc in the future...

That and I'm not very keen on disabling/enabling classes myself, heh.
