ive been tryin to set up this trigger so when certain people(lets say friends) want to use my spells they can... ive seen this done once... ive been trying to set it up so charicter says 'add me'. and it will add them to my triggers... and they can then use my spell trigger which is char. says 'ky(spellname)'. .... this way only if they say add me. can they access triggers... my zmud would ignore you unless you did that first. heres what i been workin on... for bout 5 hrs now.. no luck...

patter: %1 says 'add me'.
command : #class (%w) {enable}
#trigger {%1 says 'ky%2'.} {c '%2' 1}

seems to work as in adding them to the class and enableing it... but when it goes to cast the spell i get c '' person.... much help is needed id love to be able to do these things... hard to grasp though. thanks

What you need to do is set up a variable. Something like "friends" so that

#TR {(%w) says 'add me'} {dunno syntax here}
and then
#tr {{@friend} says 'ky(%w)'} {c %1}

one of the gurus will have to help you with exact syntax, hehe :)

#TR {(%w) says 'add me'} {#ADDITEM friends "%1"}

#tr {{@friends} says 'ky(%w)'} {c %1}

Is what you meant..

In zMUD, we do not use %1, %2, %3, etc, in the pattern. Yeah, it'll work sometimes, but it's bad form and ignores some of the spiffy pattern matching features that are available. Use the pattern matching symbols in the pattern; use the numbered parameters (%1 through %99) in the command/value portion.

Also, any information in a pattern that you want to capture must be enclosed in parentheses.

As Undergod suggests, it is common to create a string list of friends and compare against it for subsequent botting. Adding to a string list is accomplished with the #ADDITEM command.




#TR {(%w) says 'add me'.} {#ADDITEM Friends %1}


#TR {({@Friends}) says 'ky(*)'.} {cast '%2' %1}

In the first trigger, when someone says add me, they are added to your friends list. In the second trigger the ({@Friends}) is expanded to match any one item in the friends list. The parentheses serve to capture it and store it to %1. The (*) will capture the spellname and store it to %2.
If you wish to turn on and off the class which contains these triggers, use the #T+ and #T- commands.

Instead of having your friends say 'add me' you might have them say a secret word and put that word in your trigger.

To clear the friends list at disconnect, put this line in the atdisconnect alias in your System class:

#VAR Friends ""

It's not going to stay secret very long if you have people saying it. Use a tell instead.

k hate to start this again but... it worked great last night... long as i only had 1 friend in the list.. .when it put more into the list it started casting example...
c 'sanc' mak|arnun|kyrin

just to restate what i got goin

#tr {(%w) says 'add me'} {#ADDITEM friends "%1"}
which works great.....

#tr {{@friends} says 'ky(%w)'} {cast '%2' %1}

this second one didnt work. the problem is starting on the command part of the trigger... this setup here whey person says
'kysanc'. it tries to cast '' sanc....

i also tried the other trigger suggested for this part it was.... #tr {{@friends} says 'ky(%w)'} {c %1}

this worked some... example person says 'kysanc'. ... you got ... c 'sanc' with no person indicated....

i tryed messign a little and changed the command line to c '%1' @friends.... which worked long as i only had 1 person in the friends variable... so i guess the question is how to make it extract the friends name that is saying 'kysanc'. and cast the trigger on that name not mak|arnun|kyrin.. hope that wasnt confusing

Well, you could change:

#TR {{@friends} says 'ky(%w)'} {cast '%2' %1}

Into:

#TR {(%w) says 'ky(%w)'} {#IF (%ismember(%1,@Friends)) {cast '%2' %1}}

Or, like Troubadour said:

#TR {({@friends}) says 'ky(%w)'} {cast '%2' %1}
