I have a variable that contains a few things:

Looks like you padded every value with a space for some reason.
Removing the trailing space should fix things.

zMud won't expand the list in the pattern automatically. That feature exists in CMud. To do it in zMud you must enter the list directly into the pattern.

Yeah. I test it pretty fully. It seems like it'll trigger on a single word, or multiple single words. But, if the string list contains values that are multiple words, then it doesn't expand it.

So what you're saying is that I need to have the trigger like:

#TRIGGER {{a jeweled wristcuff|a pair of steel-plated greaves|a heron marked blade}} {#CW darkmagenta}

I was just hoping to avoid using the list like that, and just use a variable and then add to the list of the variable.

So that's the only way? No way to trigger off @whatever and have it be full lists of gear?

Thanks!

I thought it used to work... bad memory I suppose.
You could upgrade to CMUD, cheaper than a new console game.

Actually, I already bought CMUD. I'm a supporter for sure! I love the Z/C Mud :)

But.. In Cmud, i can't "semi-colon space" and have it go through. That was a mistake in zmud, Mr. Zugg already told me that. So, I'd have to redo my habits, who wants to do that!

And... I've tried converting everything... It was a no go. Now, if you want to try and convert my mud file to CMUD. :) I might take you up on it! But, No way i'm fixing the thousands of lines that need help.

Anyways.

Thanks for your help! Always great hearing from yall grand masters!

MisterDwooD,

change your trigger to a regular expression

#CLASS {SubsnColors}
#VAR rankgear {a jeweled wristcuff|a pair of steel-plated greaves|a heron marked blade}
#REGEX {@rankgear} {#CW darkmagenta}
#CLASS 0

What is the purpose of sending a semicolon space?

Novice Joined: 04 Feb 2014 Posts: 42

When i'm entering commands in the command bar is when it mattered to me. Not while writing scripts. For example:

st; not; mw; charge bob

that is not the same as:

st;not;mw;chargebob

One of those does not work, either it requires spaces, or it does not like spaces in cMUD. I addressed Zugg about the issue and he said that it actually an issue in zMUD that let it work both ways.

That's what I meant by what I said.

It works as intended for command separation when no spaces are used.
I believe the other formats were kludged to not be command separation, not sure why, likely because so many games used the semicolon for other purposes and people were resistant to just escaping out the semicolon with a tilde: ~;
