New to Zmud, and I have no idea how to use Zmud classes and such, but I'm trying to set up someway to record opponents spells. Like when they use an item such as this:

Person quaffs a sanctuary potion.

And then to start counting down how long until it wears off...

any ideas how to go about doing this?

There really isn't an easy way to be sure of the exact time as to when the potion will wear off, as MOST muds use a "tick" based system, which is somewhat dependant on the load of the server, however.

If you do something like:

#TRIGGER {^Person quaffs a sanctuary potion.$} { #ALARM +X { #SAY Person's Sanctuary has worn off. }}

What that will do, is when you see:

Person quaffs a santuary potion.

It will, after X seconds (so if a tick on your mud is 1 minuteish, and sanc lasts for 2 minutes, then X would be 120), do a say to you (not sent to the mud) of:

Person's Sanctuary has worn off.

If that's what your looking for, that'd most likely be the best way of doing it.

Hope this helps.

That would work I'd assume, but what about for more than one person, say as in a PKill mud?

Okay, so I just timed how long this spell lasted... but I'm going to adapt it a little...
say you Have fred and bob and gary....could you create variables for them like

@bob quaffs a sanctuary potion.

Or have different timers going, say
sanctuary potion lasts longer than another potion that casts the same thing....?

Just throwing some things your way

#TRIGGER {^(%w) quaffs a sanctuary potion.$} {#ALARM +X {#SAY %1's Sanctuary has worn off.}}

For potions that last different times, you'd have to have a way of knowing which potion the person quaffed.

Okay,
how bout this.

Fred quaffs a sanctuary potions. - It lasts 4.5 minutes

Bob quaffs a magister's blessing. - it lasts lets say 2.5 minutes...

how would you make a trigger to time both of those, and actually have it set correctly for the right person?

Thanks

#TRIGGER {^(%w) quaffs a sanctuary potion.$} {#ALARM +270 {#SAY %1's Sanctuary has worn off.}}

#TRIGGER {^(%w) quaffs a magister~'s blessing.$} {#ALARM +210 {#SAY %1's Sanctuary has worn off.}}

You'd just have to trigger each on their own... That will work for ANYONE who quaff's them, but for each potion, you'll need an individual trigger.
