Help on a script
|
I would like to create an alias called phone that does a few things with a few different paramenters... I'll be detailed here so no questions are left out...
phone - Simply sends the "phone" command to the mud
phone store <name> <number> - Stores <number> and associates it with <name>
phone delete <name> - Deletes the name and associated number
phone call <name> - Sends the command "phone call <number>" where <number> is the number associated with the name
phone list - Displays a list of names with the numbers across from them in a list
I've written a similar script in the past, but I'm just getting back into mudding and I've forgotten nearly everything involved with zMud scripting, so any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you. |

Tested and Works
Store and Delete messages are just a dumb process no checking to make sure it stored correctly.
All Names stored will be converted to lowercase automaticly, and displayed with propercase due to case-sensitive values.
#ALIAS phone {
#IF (%null("%1")) {~phone}
#IF ("%1"="store") {#ADDKEY phone {%lower("%2")} {"%3"};#SAY %proper("%2") Stored}
#IF ("%1"="delete") {#DELKEY phone %lower("%2");#SAY %proper("%2") Erased}
#IF ("%1"="call") {~phone call %db(@phone,%lower("%2"))}
#IF ("%1"="list") {#LOOPDB @phone {#SHOW %proper(%key) = %val}}
} |

Thanks, just one more question, is there any way to make zMud display a blank line?

Okay, I'm sorry... I lied... THIS is the last question: last time I made this sort of script I used LOOPDB just like you did, but I was able to do it in a way where everything lined up all nice and neat, even with names unequal in length by putting space in between the name and number using a certain function that I cannot recall that counted the number of characters in the name... meaning... I'd specify a TOTAL length, and it would count the characters in the name, and fill the rest in with spaces to match the TOTAL I specified... any idea?

Ok lemme think now.......
#LOOPDB @phone {#SAY %proper( %key) %format( &%eval( 20-%len( %key)+%len( %val)).0f, %val)}
Adjust the number 20 to your desired length between key and value
And here is a version with alternating colors:
#LOOPDB @phone {#SAY %if( %mod( %iskey( @phone, %key), 2), %ansi( 7) , %ansi( 15))%proper( %key) %format( &%eval( 20-%len( %key)+%len( %val)).0f, %val)%ansi( default)}
adjust the numbers 7 and 15 to whatever colors you want.
I can get fancier if need be... |
