Right now, you don't.

Making every possible keystroke combination "do something" is on the list of things to do.

kelvin:

Bring up your world properties:

File [Pulldown menu]
World Properties

Under "Input" | "keypad" ...

...you can configure what commands you would like each key on the keypad to send.

Nick:

Someone on my regular mud today said that they have their client programmed so they if they hit CTRL & [Keypad 'direction'], their client will scry in that direction. How convenient!

I know, since you're going to make all keys programmable, the keypad will probably be too...

Perhaps you could extend the use of that keypad configuration screen I mentioned above (if you keep it), so that if you click a radio button or tab (or something), you can quickly configure things like [CTRL Keypad5] or [ALT Keypad5] right from that screen. Of course, I expect you may remove that keypad configuration screen in favor of one cental place to program all key combo's. If you keep the keypad screen, please consider this suggestion. :)

Great.. I see Magnum beat me to it. ;)

In any case just my 2 cents.

A tab for ctrl and alt versions of the keypad would be a lot nicer than sticking it into the marco configuration. Trying to find a mess of key settings in a long list inside a tiny window is both annoying and counter intuative. But then so is editing macros as they stand, but short of a mini keyboard which wouldn't match half those one the market we are basically stuck with that. ;) lol

The way the keypad settings work now are very easy to understand. And it is very nice to know that plans where already in the works to do it.

Now... If I could just figure out how to reprogram the keys for power, sleep and wake on my keyboard that I don't currently use, but windows automaps to use with the motherboard. :p Should be possible, but requires editing the system registry. ;)

Is it possible to script a macro using perl into doing an action with a trigger that will activate after the action is entered an then the trigger will enter another command and so on.

I think so, but can you give an example? It isn't totally clear what you want to do.

I'm guessing what Kelvin would like to do, is something like this:
---
Macro: CTRL-G
Send : emote opens his backpack and makes room.
---
Trigger: * opens his backpack and makes room.
Script : Loot_Corpse
---
Sub Loot_Corpse
Bleh
Blah
Blee
End Sub

I won't try to do it in Perl because I will probably make a syntax error or something, but I would do it like this ...

1. Have the macro (Ctrl+F1) send a made-up word (eg. "++start+chanelling++")

2. Make an alias that matches on that word ("++start+chanelling++") - the alias sends the first command "Channel water" and sets a MUSHclient variable to 1.

3. Make a trigger that matches the response ("*You have recovered equilibrium") and have the trigger call a script.

4. The trigger script consults the variable and send the next reply ("Channel fire" etc.) and adds one to the variable.

Then, next time the trigger matches step (4) will repeat until you have run out of things to do.

I don't really get what you mean, can you give an example of the script and the whole process a bit more detailed?

Step 2 - script for the alias ...


sub OnInitialChannel
{
 $world->SetVariable ("channel_sequence", 0);
} # end of OnInitialChannel




Step 4 - script for the trigger ...


sub OnRecovery
{

# list of messages 

@messagelist = ("Channel water", 
                "Channel air", 
                "Channel fire", 
                "etc.");
 
# find where we are in the sequence

my ($counter) = $world->GetVariable ("channel_sequence");

# display the current message

$world->note (@messagelist [$counter]);

# move to next one

$counter++;

# remember for next time trigger fires

$world->SetVariable ("channel_sequence", $counter);

} # end of OnRecovery

You asked previously "Is it possible to script a macro using perl into doing an action with a trigger", thus the example I gave was in Perlscript.
