Thank you Senior for the ansver but.. I have a feeling that only works with a newer version of zMUD.
I only have version 4.62
What should I do to make it work anyways?

Did you try this in 4.62 to confirm that it doesn't work? The only commands and functions used are pretty basic, so I'm guessing that they were around in 4.62. Try it and then tell us if it works or what doesn't work.

You know that zMUD upgrades are always free, right? So if you've got a registered copy of 4.62, why not just grab the latest 6.16 (public) or 6.30 (beta) version and benefit from the speed improvements and likelihood that the code examples given will work, because most people are using the newest versions?

People still using 4.62 (in my own opinion) either don't know there's a better version available and should upgrade upon discovering the new version (for which I will offer help), have some weird computer setup that won't run 6.16 (the existence of which I'm not aware of) or aren't legal owners of zMUD, and won't get help from me .

Please upgrade, it's in your own best interest!

If it doesn't work in 4.62, don't use it. I've never had 4.62, so I don't have the helpfiles and I don't know what commands and functions are available and don't have any way to find out.

Nobody can troubleshoot bald statements like "it doesn't work in 4.62". If that's all you can tell us, you're on your own.

I am sorry then, Lightbulb, but _I_ cannot get it to work with 4.62.

If you talk to a mechanic over the phone and you say "My car doesn't work", do you think the mechaninc will be able to help you with your problem? Likewise, saying that the script doesn't work doesn't help us help you at all. Look at your helpfiles and see if all the commands and functions used in theis script are available in 4.62. If they are, try to tell us what exactly doesn't work. Does the trigger never fire? Is some variable not being created/updated? Is some message being displayed differently from what you expect?

Also, although I do not think that versions 5.x are worse compared to 4.62, you might want to try out anyway the new 6.x versions like Darker suggested. They really are a lot different thatn 5.x versions and have a lot of new feautures.
