WHat I'd like to know, can you use say the ADD command to change a variable name.

Example - Listvar1

A process I do on my mud provides me a long list. I'd like each item on that list to be assigned to a variable. I can do the REEEEEAAAAALLLLY long process of making about two hundred preset variables, but that would bog me down hard. Instead I was thinking of such

pattern = "(%W)" *
command = #va listvar1 %1

the next time this trigger fires I'd like it to read as such

command = #va listvar2 %1

Notice listvar1 increased to listvar2

can I use the ADD command? or can I make a base variable name (in this case listvar) and combine it with a second var (the number) and create the third Variable?

A bit winded and unsorted, but I hope you understand, thanks

Try this out:

#alias MakeList {#if (%null(%-1)) {#NOOP we have an argument passed to the alias;#ADD Count 1;#VARIABLE ListVar@Count {@ListVar%eval(@Count - 1)}} {#NOOP no arguments passed to the alias}}

If the #VARIABLE syntax doesn't work here, use the Variablename = value syntax.

Yes, this is possible. Here is an example of how to do it:
#VAR count 0
#TRIGGER {"(%w)" *} {#ADD count 1;#VAR listvar@count %1}
