I am making a script for my mud to walk through an area in my mud and I had a few questions.
First with the script activated can I still have it use my triggers I have already set up to kill things automatically.
Second how do I make the script loop when I get make to the beginning of the area?

to your first question, yes. all your triggers should fire normally while the script is executing.

for the second thing, i recommend enclosing everything you want to repeat in a while loop, like so:

#while (@step < 25) {
..all the stuff you want to do
}

the blue part can be any condition you would like :)

I don't know a lot about using external files, but I think you need to give a number to the file you want to open, like #READ 1 File.txt. Then later on you call that number to specify the file in whatever function you want to use it.

You need to open the file first with the #FILE command.

The help file will tell you for sure, but I believe #FILE 1 through #FILE 5 are used for text files while #FILE 6 through #FILE 10 are used for databases.
