More Expression Questions....
|
So, I was transferring my triggers to the command form for storage when I realized a large hole in them that needs to be fixed.
| Code: |
#TRIGGER Sanctuary {The white aura around your body fades.$} {
#IF (@posn="wake" AND @status="noidle") {
#send "quaff greenish"
} {
#send wake
#send "quaff greenish"
#send sleep
}
|
The problem is, I may be idle, but not sleep! In that instance, it will see the idle, fail, "wake" me up, then put me to sleep. Were I programming in C++, I'd remedy this with an else if statement (else if (@posn="wake" AND @status="idle). How would I achieve this same effect in CMUD?
Also, a bonus question. I made a bunch of triggers and such available for others to use, having made them in CMUD. I figured the compatibility should make it so that only a few things in CMUD would not work in zMUD. However, someone using zMUD was unable to use:
| Code: |
#oninput {^w>(%w) (*)} {#noinput;pmote ~{wwhispers ~(to ~{c%1~{w~) '~{c%-2~{w'~{x } {General Triggers}
|
IS that normal, or is there something wrong here? |

You can use the #switch command for elseifs. Also, you don't need to use #send every time you want to send text to the MUD - you can safely remove all the #send commands there and just have
| Code: |
#IF (@posn="wake" AND @status="noidle") {
quaff greenish
} {
wake
quaff greenish
sleep
} |
And you missed a closing bracket in your script, but I guess that's just a typo.
There's no #noinput command in zMUD, you need to use #gag instead. #gag in CMUD just stops the command being displayed on the screen. |

Something like this?
| Code: |
#TRIGGER Sanctuary {The white aura around your body fades.$} {
#IF (@posn="wake" AND @status="noidle")
{
quaff greenish
}
#SWITCH (@posn="sleep" AND @status="noidle")
{
wake
quaff greenish
sleep
}
{
#say "posn="@posn and status=~[@status~] || ***Trigger did not run***
}
}
|
And...
| Code: |
#oninput {^w>(%w) (*)} {#gag;pmote ~{wwhispers ~(to ~{c%1~{w~) '~{c%-2~{w'~{x } {General Triggers}
|

You dont need an #IF and a #SWITCH both, the #SWITCH is your IF and your ELSE IF
| Code: |
#TRIGGER Sanctuary {^The white aura around your body fades.$} {
#SWITCH (@posn="wake" AND @status="noidle") {
quaff greenish
}
(@posn="sleep" AND @status="noidle") {
wake
quaff greenish
sleep
}
{#say "posn="@posn and status=~[@status~] || ***Trigger did not run*** }
} |
And in zMUD and CMUD you only need to #gag or #noinput if in your oninput trigger you DON'T send any text to the mud.
Since you are doing so in your oninput trigger zMUD/CMUD wont send the original line. |

I admit I took it from Fang without understanding it, so you're not making any sense to me. Whatever Fang gave me worked in CMUD, but seems to fail in zMUD, so I just wanted to know why. |

zMUD and CMUD are not the same program. CMUD has *many* new features that do not exist in zMUD. So while most zMUD scripts will work in CMUD (that's called backwards compatibility), you probably will *not* be able to run your CMUD scripts within zMUD. zMUD doesn't have the #NOINPUT command and doesn't have #SWITCH (among other things).

I figured that. The question was how to achieve the same thing, if that was possible.

Remove the #gag its not necessary.
| Code: |
| #oninput {^w>(%w) (*)} {pmote ~{wwhispers ~(to ~{c%1~{w~) '~{c%2~{w'~{x } {General Triggers} |
That should work in both CMUD and zMUD. |

You can just nest the #ifs (or run them one after the other since there's no way both can be true at the same time) instead of using #switch, too. So the false-command of one #if will be another #if.
