Macros are not working
|
I have Macros set to override menu shortcuts, and allow any key to be a macro, but I still get nothing. Nothing fires, not even my variables are set.
| Code: |
<macro key="CTRL-KEY8" id="43">
<value>bowkill = 1
direction = south
north
wieldbow
#var bowshot %additem ( incen, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem ( bd, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem ( nt, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem ( bd, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem ( bd, @bowshot)
go_bow = "on"
usebow</value>
</macro>

The reason is because the macro isn't compiling. The problem is the space between %additem and the '('.
This should work.
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<cmud>
<macro key="CTRL-KEY8" copy="yes">
<value>bowkill = 1
direction = south
north
wieldbow
#var bowshot %additem(incen, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem( bd, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem( nt, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem( bd, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem( bd, @bowshot)
go_bow = "on"
usebow</value>
</macro>
</cmud> |
Remember if you are using a laptop, NumLock must be on for it to work. |

Thanks a ton!
One more quick question for me to squeeze in here, and I'll be done. At least until I run into another problem.
I use mudbot, and need to be able to use the character " ` " frequently. Is there a way to have CMUD allow me to use the character other than having to turn off parsing? |

Since that is the Line Quote special character, if you don't use or need it for that purpose you can disable it in Preferences, or change what character is used for it.

Thanks again, but I'm still running into real minor problems with new program.
My current one is using the same script as above (but fixed). I'm using %additem to add aliases to a queue, and setting them up to fire when a line hits. However, CMUD is ignoring the aliases, and using the alias name as a command. An example:
| Quote: |
north
unwield left
unwield right
remove bow
wield bow
incen
|
That happens first, but what I should be getting is:
| Quote: |
north
unwield left
unwield right
remove bow
wield bow
switch incendiary
shoot so-and-so south
|
If I manually type the alias in, it fires, but will not in %additem. How can I change that? |

That doesn't work, if I do that I have an error with unmatched parenthesis.

That isn't working either, when I use #execute or #send I get this
| Code: |
north
unwield left
unwield right
remove bow
wield bow
#executeincen
|
but only if I don't use brackets over {incen} (alias). If I do use them, I have an error in unmatched paranthesis, and if I use neither it sends the text "incen" and not the alias value. |

You need to show us the exact alias code that you are using now.

Here's my macro, which has been fixed and is now compiling, but is not firing the alias, just the actual text of the alias. It's supposed to move me a direction, wield my bow, and start a queue of arrows to shoot.
| Code: |
<macro key="CTRL-KEY8" id="43">
<value>bowkill = 1
direction = south
north
wieldbow
#var bowshot %additem( incen, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem( bd, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem( nt, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem( bd, @bowshot)
#var bowshot %additem( bd, @bowshot)
go_bow = "on"
usebow</value>
</macro>
|
and here's my list of aliases
| Code: |
alias name="incen" id="27">
<value>switch incendiary
shoot @target @direction
</value>
</alias>
alias name="bd" id="39">
<value>switch broad
shoot @target @direction</value>
</alias>
<alias name="nt" id="38">
<value>switch net
shoot @target @direction</value>
</alias>
|
What I get now is this
| Quote: |
north
unwield left
unwield right
remove bow
wield bow
incen
|
What I want is this
| Quote: |
north
unwield left
unwield right
remove bow
wield bow
switch incendiary
shoot so-and-so south
|
I'm moving this system over manually from Zmud 7.04 to CMUD 2.36, and it worked fine like this in Zmud. |

It looks like it is not recognizing 'incen' as an alias. In the Package Editor, in the definition of the macro, is 'incen' colored in red or in blue? If it is red, it's not recognizing the alias. Is 'incen' in a class that is disabled? Or in a different package which is not global?

It's not colored at all, and it was not colored in the previous version of the system in which it worked.
Oh, and everything is enabled as well, and they are in the same class. |

I don't see anything in our macro that is calling your "incen" alias. Is your "usebow" an alias? If so, you need to show that too.

Yes, this is it.
| Code: |
<alias name="usebow" id="31">
<value>#var attack_to_do %pop( bowshot)
#if (%numitems( @bowshot) = -1) {go_bow = "off"} {#if (@go_bow="on") {@attack_to_do}}</value>
</alias>
|
and it triggers of this.
| Code: |
trigger priority="110" id="11">
<pattern>You have recovered balance.</pattern>
#if (@bowkill = 1) {usebow}
</value>
</trigger>
|
What do you mean that there is nothing in the macro that is calling "incen" ? |

#if (%numitems( @bowshot) = -1) {go_bow = "off"} {#if (@go_bow="on") {#EXEC {@attack_do_do}}}
the variable value is the alias in this case
I am unsure how @bowshot will ever be a negative value when all your doing is popping off the list members. |
