Okay here is the problem.
I have a quest I need to be able to complete very quickly. I need it to kill one mob after another. but before I kill the mobs I need to say 'code'. The following is output from my mud.

This is the mob I see:
One of the 4 Time-agents is standing here.

This is the message after he dies:
Your blood freezes as you hear the Time-agent1's death cry.

This is the output I get when I say 'code':
The Time-agent2 says 'The second digit is 3.'

**The time agent can be any one of 4 agents, so the output could be Time-agent3 says 'The third digit . . .'

You get the point.

Anyway i need it to take the input returned from the agent and put it into a variable (or something) then outputs the information in order. One of the 4 digits will be missing and needs to be guessed until it's correct.

This is sample output from the mud:

A very, very odd room.
OOPPPS .... where are you here. It looks like a high-tech room with walls
made of a strange red metal. The floor is covered with dust. It must have been
unused for a long time. You are in the southern part of the room. In the
middle there is something like an energy barrier. In the northern part ....
..... you see a HUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEE treasure.
On the right side there is the control for the barrier.
Obvious Exits: East

Once in this room you must guess the code using the information you have already gathered. The proper syntax for entering the code is:

enter 93*6 <--- In this case the random number is the number that needs to be guessed. This number can be in anyone of 4 spots and can be any number from 0-9.

When the answer is correct you get the following output:

As you enter the code, the barrier flickers out.

From this point you can now open the barrier and enter the chamber.

If you need more information I will gladly provide it.

As this shouldn't happen often it doesn't
overly need to be optimized and a midnight
kludge will work. :P

Assumes you only see the red
trigger once. Change it if there is another
trigger indicator to start the process.




#TRIGGER {^One of the 4 Time-agents is standing here.$} {


  #ECHO Time-agent script on


  #T+ TimeAgent


  #VAR V_Code "****"


  }


  


Assumes agent 2 3 4 gives the codes


#TRIGGER {^Your blood freezes as you hear the Time


  ~-agent{1|2|3}~'s death cry.} {


  say code


  } "TimeAgent"


  


Assumes the agents can give any spot from


position 1 through 4:


#TRIGGER {^The Time-agent{2|3|4} says ~'The (%w) digit is (%d).~'} {


  #IF (%1 =~ "first") {#VAR V_Code %concat


   (%1,%copy(@V_Code,2,4))}


  #IF (%1 =~ "second") {#VAR V_Code %concat


   ("%copy(@V_Code,1,1),%1,%copy(@V_Code,3,4))}


  #IF (%1 =~ "third") {#VAR V_Code %concat


   (%copy(@V_Code,1,2),%1,%copy(@V_Code,4,4))}


  #IF (%1 =~ "forth") {#VAR V_Code %concat


   (%copy(@V_Code,1,3),%1)}


  } "TimeAgent"


  


Spits out all posibilities 0-9


#TRIGGER {^A very, very odd room.$} {


  #10 enter %replace(@V_Code,"*",[%i-1])


  #ECHO Time-agent script off


  #T- TimeAgent


  } "TimeAgent"

Untested but the idea should be there.
