I'm just trying to set it up so that the command "say such and such" is sent when the menu option is chosen. I'm completely lost.

You just need a slight change to what I posted before.

After calling the WindowMenu function, the variable "result" is either an empty string, or the word in the menu. So you test for an empty string (which happens if you press <esc> to cancel the menu), you simply send "say " concatenated with the result, like this:


-- button 3
 {
  icon = "spear2.png",
  tooltip = "Special Attacks",
  script = function () 
                  
        local result = WindowMenu (win, 
          WindowInfo (win, 14),  -- x
          WindowInfo (win, 15),  -- y

          "Backstab|Stun|Kick|Taunt")  -- menu items
        
        if result ~= "" then
          Send ("say " .. result)
        end -- if

            end,  -- function

  },  -- end of button 3

How would one set up the drop down menu so that the options listed simply point to a string of commands, rather than act as part of the command itself?

This is what I'm trying to accomplish:

-- button 1
{
icon = "spear2.png",
tooltip = "Special Attacks",
script = function ()

local result = WindowMenu (win,
WindowInfo (win, 14), -- x
WindowInfo (win, 15), -- y

"special attack 1") -- menu items

if result = "special attack 1" then
Send ("say backstab/nbackstab opponent/nbury corpse")
end -- if

end, -- function

}, -- end of button 1

You are on the right track. However comparing equal is == in Lua, not =.

Also, remember that a newline is \n not /n.

So, something like this should work:


if result == "special attack 1" then
  Send ("say backstab\nbackstab opponent\nbury corpse")
end -- if

My guess is that you are using an old version of MUSHclient. Take a look at the Announcements forum for the latest released version.

As soon as I read that I thought 'doh!' but I'm using 4.37, which is the requirement of version 2.0 of this plug-in.

You need version 4.40. See: http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/showrelnote.php?version=4.40&productid=0 for the changelog which details the function WindowDragHandler being added.


I guess Nick forgot to adjust the version attribute of the plugin. :)

Well grrrr @ Nick for that error :p

That was exactly it, this plug-in requires 4.40 not 4.37, and it works beautifully. Very cool and very handy trick.

The upgrade however brought about another issue but I'll make a new post about it.

Ooops. That is what comes from adding functionality to an existing plugin. ;)

I have amended both posts.

Each button can have up to four entries:

icon - filename of the image to draw
tooltip - what to show if you hover the mouse over the button
send - what to send to the MUD
script - a script function to call

--]]


buttons = {

-- button 1
{
icon = "HealIcon.png", -- icon image
tooltip = "Heal self", -- tooltip help text
send = "cast 'lesser heal' self", -- what to send
}, -- end of button 1

-- button 2
{
icon = "SwordIcon.png",
tooltip = "Attack",
send = "kill @target",
}, -- end of button 2

-- button 3
{
icon = "SparkIcon2.png",
tooltip = "Cast Fireball",
send = "cast fireball",
script = function ()
ColourNote ('white', 'green', 'script test')
end, -- function

}, -- end of button 3


--> add more buttons here





-----------------------------------------
Hi
I was wondering if there is some restrictions of certain kind of functions called by the buttons. i would like to disable some groups of triggers, so i wrote:

-- button 3
{
icon = "peace.png",
tooltip = "Pacific Mode",
send = "say hello",
script = function ()
EnableTriggerGroup ("attack", false)
end,
}, -- end of button 3

} -- end of buttons table


...but it didn't work, and the button 3 of your example seems to work perfecty. Mine says hello, that's ok, but can't disable the "attack" group of triggers. Thanks for your comments.

That should work. Where is the trigger group? In a plugin? Or the main world?

Actually, enabling a trigger group would not cross plugin boundaries, that is probably the problem.

What you could do is make an alias in the main world (eg. EnableAttackGroup) that you execute from the button, eg.


Execute ("EnableAttackGroup")


So the button "sends" EnableAttackGroup, the alias in the main world picks it up, and then this alias can enable the group.

The ColourNote works because that affects the output window, not a specific plugin's triggers.
