And when I am asked one of the above questions:
| Quote: |
| The Shadow Sect Guardian tells you '*' |
I'd like to just be able to have the answer automatically come up with an alias #al answer {@answer}
I've tried adding one lot of questions to their own string variable and then checking something like:
| Code: |
| #tr {The Shadow Sect Guardian tells you '(*)'} {#if (@question = {%1}) {#var answer {say To defend and to teach}} |
This does not get me good results :(
TIA |

#ADDKEY answerTable {question} {answer}
#IF (%ismember(@question, %dbkeys(@answerTable))) {answer %db(@answerTable, @question)}
In your example you never define the @question variable, I will assume it is set elsewhere because otherwise, you are comparing %1 to a %null string, which will always turn up false.
If this is the only place it would be used, just use %1 instead of @question in the above examples, there is no need to save it beyond this setting. |
