is assist a function, or an alias? If it's a function, then it needs to be assist(). If it's an alias, then it needs to be Execute( "assist" ). If it's a mud command, then Send( "assist" ).

It is much easier to fight for one's ideals than to live up to them.

thanks Shaun. works now.

Yea it was a mud command. I'm still very used to using simple triggers from my old client, "#action {you are hungry} {eat food}" for example.

Does this way seem too sloppy? Is there something else I should be doing here?

Here is the end result:

World1.

<aliases>
<alias
match="autto *"
enabled="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>world2 = assert (GetWorld ("world2"),
"world2 not open") -- get world

assert (world2:IsConnected(),
"world2 is not connected") -- check connected
world2:SetVariable("assister1", "%1")
world2:SetVariable("assister2", "%1")</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

World2:

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="*is dead! R.I.P."
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>SetVariable ("assister1",GetVariable("assister2"))</send>

</trigger>
<trigger
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
match="@assister1 misses *"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>Send ("assist")
SetVariable ("assister1", "kdfjskfjsf")</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

You can easily make an alias to do just that:


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="#action {*} {*}"
   enabled="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

require "addxml"  -- addxml extension

-- add the trigger 

addxml.trigger {  
  match = "%1", 
  send = "%2",
  sequence = 100,
  enabled = true,
               }

ColourNote ("white", "green", "Added trigger to match on '%1', sending '%2'")
</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>

Now if I type:



#action {you are hungry} {eat food}

I see echoed:



Added trigger to match on 'you are hungry', sending 'eat food'

And, this trigger is now added to the trigger list:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="you are hungry"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>eat food</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

You know what a really strange thing is?

On the zMUD forum, there is a posting from Reallycurious, entitled "I just learned what a function is 10minutes ago. Who wants to help! :)" - and it reads:

Quote:

I'm going to have multiple connections to a mud and I want to create an 'auto assist' type thing for some of the windows. In my old client I'd just trigger something like "$assistvariableguy massacres" = assist, etc and then make an alias #alias {autto %1} {#var assistvariableguy %1}.

Are you posting exactly the same question on all the client forums?

Here is the link:

Sure, I did post 'almost' the same question on the zmud forum, but there was 1 difference I didn't mention on zmud forum.

I'm shopping for a new mud client and I want to make sure whichever one I commit to is going to be the right choice for me(support/functionality).

I probably wouldn't have even found MUSHclient if the latest zmud 7.21 didn't cause a code4 error and crash immediately when i ran it. So I asked my friends in irc for what I should do and I got 3 suggestions: dl an earlier version of zmud/dl MUSHclient(i never heard of it)/dont bother switching your client.

Now it's been about a week since I've been using mushclient and I'm liking it a lot. I think the forum support here has been great these last few days too. I don't see myself switching to zmud...

On another note, I'm going to try and get a rescue script and heal script working with LUA with both of them being accessable from other worlds. I'll be posting those soon :)

I'm glad you like it, and look forwards to seeing your scripts posted here. :)

I too tried to install zMud, not planning on switching, would not over my own dead body either, but wanted to attempt to make conversions from zmud a ton easier for myself. I failed miserably with v7.21 due to the same crash error, and just used an older version, 6.16 in fact. I am attempting to determine the DB formatting, whether it is using SOME standard system, or a system all its own, because IF it is a standard system, then that is a step in the right direction for a mapper, or at least using maps made using zMud :)

Laterzzz,
