| It's mentioned in the wcript that you can load/save scripting variables ito mushclient variables at log in/log out. How is something like this done?
I was thinking about just aliasing 'quit' to do something like:
Quit
Setvariable (monsterskilled, monsterslain)
Where monsterslain is a script variable, but is that legal?
And visaversa:
Monsterslain = getvariable("monsterskilled") on login? | | Top |

| Can you tell me which reply this is in?
As an aside, what does 'serialize' do?
It would be great if I could modify the plugin to load/save a table of variables I'd like to use.
Also: is there a way to check/compre current time to an old time, or current day/date with an old, variable saved date?
like oldDate would be 07/08/213
Trigger/timer/etc checks current date and compares to old date
If more than 1 week then
Statements
Else
Statements?

| You should really read the lot, but replies 6 and 7 summarize it.

Turns the internal "binary" representation of numbers, strings, etc. into a printable string which can be saved in your state file. It also handles tables (including nested tables).

The function os.time() returns a number which is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970.
If you saved that in a variable, and then got the current time, and subtracted one from the other, you could work out how many seconds had elapsed. |
