I want to get to where I don't need to ask anymore about how the windows work. Slowly getting better at it, but allot still confuses me.

Also, for the mud I'm playing I've been noting everything on our own forums so other people can use mushclient as well. It'd be easier on some of them to just be able to select all and paste into the alias window.

Yes, but this is exactly what plugins were designed for.

To handle window dragging, your script has to respond to a mouse-down in the miniwindow. Now that isn't anything to do with someone typing an alias. And to handle loading stuff (like configuration) and saving stuff for next time, and other things, like doing something every minute, suddenly you are asking people to copy and paste a couple of aliases, copy and paste a couple of triggers, add a few timers, modify their script file, set the correct language, etc.

So instead of all this you say: download this file, install it, done!

That's what plugins are for.

Just a quick question is there an easy way to omit this output from my main display since it is going to the window any way. I know triggers have the flag for omitting output is their something similar for aliases?

I'm pretty sure an "omit from output" flag was added, and is discussed in one of the earlier pages of this thread. Just browse through it to find it.

Oh Sorry I missed that, since they had changed over to a trigger I glossed over it. One more question if I wanted to add a scroll bar to the inventory window and allow it to be resized what should I look at for reference?


Thanks

Trying to get this working in my mud and having some difficulties, I got past the first few problems and its not giving any errors for now.

When the alias fires it doesn't recognize that the inventory is being displayed, most likely because of how the inventory is listed in this mud.

<aliases>
  <alias
   name="Inventory_Script"
   match="inv"
   enabled="y"
   group="Inventory"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>require "wait"

wait.make (function ()

local win = GetPluginID () .. ":inventory"
local font = "f"

if not WindowInfo (win, 1) then
  WindowCreate (win, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6, 0, 0)
  WindowFont (win, font, "FixedSys", 9)
end -- if

-- request inventory

Send "inventory"

-- wait for inventory to start

local x = wait.match ("You are carrying (.*?)", 10)

if not x then
  ColourNote ("white", "blue", "No inventory receieved within 10 seconds.")
  return
end -- if

local inv = {}
local max_width = WindowTextWidth (win, font, "Inventory")

-- loop until end of inventory
while true do
  local line, wildcards, styles = wait.match ("*")

  -- see if end of inventory
  
  if string.match (line, "^(.*?) | [Pain: (.*?)") then
    break
  end -- if

  -- save inventory
  table.insert (inv, styles)
  -- work out max width
  max_width = math.max (max_width, WindowTextWidth (win, font, line))

end -- while loop

require "tprint"
tprint (inv)

end)</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>


Below is an example of output from my mud.
You are carrying four ruelbone monads, a bowie knife, a pair of green gauntlets, a pair of buckskin pants, a pair of green armwraps, a
silver-trimmed blue cloak, a wooden practice sword, and a canvas pouch.
-E-W-- | [Pain: 0 Fatigue: 0 Unbalance: 0 Fear: 0] |  [///] >
The first few lines are my inventory and the last line is my prompt. Any suggestions on getting it to read each item?

Change wait.match to wait.regexp, as that looks like a regular expression.

Or change it to:


local x = wait.match ("You are carrying *", 10)
