I am a very simple scripter, and I don't have a lot of knowledge. I mostly copy/paste lines to set triggers, and send response.

If I have on my game...

You kill an ugly brutish orc.

next time, it might be

You kill a yellow green orc
You kill a smelly brown orc
You kill a grinning stupid orc

I would like to send a command after killing the mob i'm hunting which is orcs.... But I don't know how to copy/paste just the portion...

if (you kill isin $1-) && (orc isin $1-) { timer 1 1 sockwrite -n client.sock loot all }

I know this scripting language above, I don't know what it's called. I learned to write it myself, by reading it on a client i used call mIRC for The Eternal City mud..... and I can write scripts on that, but that mIRC client doesn't connect to this mud i'm playing on Mushclient... (or at least, I dont know how to get it to...)

But anyways, Mushclient is great....

Just want to know how to make "You kill" as the trigger to "loot all"

It only seems to really work as a trigger when I copy/paste the entire line with the period and all.....

Yea, I found a great post on this forum site about using wild cards, but the lesson didn't teach you could use them in that manner also... But that's cool. TY.
I'd like to find that forum post about wildcards again, but i can't find it through searching "wildcards" on forum search... last time i read that post, it was because another mud gamer shared the link to the post with me.

Use a wildcard, eg.


You kill *

Or if it is orcs you are after:


You kill * orc
