Please help! I need what I assume would be a simple script.

Ok, here is the deal.
I do NOT know how to script.
I have tried for hours to figure it all out but I am just plain out lacking in needed knowledge.
So if some kind sould out there could write a script for me I would be extremely grateful.

Basically what I have now is two triggers for ship building outcomes.

You finish modifying the ship.

and

Where to begin? It all looks so complex...

Each of these is set to send the same thing to world:
buildship ship compnent

But there are 4 components and multiple types of ships.
so I was hoping for some sort of script that if I type say:
build xwing circuits
It will change what the triggers send to "buildship xwing circuits" for whenever those triggers fire.
Then after I am done with cicuits I could type build xwing engines and the triggers will be set to put engines instead of cirtcuits.

The most I could ever figure out was how to make build xwing circuits turn those into variables.
So I have two variables, ship and object.
I type build xwing hull and in my variables list ship = xwing and object = hull.
But I cannot figure out how to make the triggers send these variables to the world with the command "buildship" in front of them (hell I cant get them to get sent to world PERIOD)

Anyway I hope this makes sense.

In the triggers make sure you have checked "Expand Variables" then in what the triggers send, this can be several things, but since you have stated you are not familiar with scripting, lets go with the plainest...

buildship @ship @object

That is what the trigger should be doing, but I noticed a problem with the logic in your execution of this task, if you complete the upgrade, you will attempt to build that part again, this is all fine and dandy if there are multiple levels of upgrades, and the message once it cannot be build is different, BUT if it happened to be "You finish modifying the ship." every time, then you will get stuck in an endless loop ...

How many ship types are there? Too many to list? and how many objects are there to build? If you had the entire list I could probably make a plugin that would build an entire ship based upon what kind of ship, and would go part by part building, I just need a few messages your MUD sends, such as the Completed Upgrade message, if that is "You finish modifying the ship." then I already know that, and the "Where to begin? It all looks so complex..." I would assume is the failed message, but I would also need the "You cannot build that, it is already modified YOU IDIOT!!" type of message, just for prevention of plugin going awry.

and I can help you write an alias that you type build SHIP OBJECT, where you replace SHIP and OBJECT with the appropriate values, but need to know if either can be multiple words, as opposed to a single word?

I also need to know what scripting language your muchclient is set to (ctrl + shift + 6, or Game menu, Configure, Scripting) so that I can script in THAT language for you.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to trya nd help me out.
I really appreciate that.
I just spent some time with what you said.
And found oout that @ship and @object with variables expanded was EXACTLY what I needed.
I have my triggers up and running. Thank you so much!

Just glad to have helped, and also glad to hear you are up and running :)

Again like i said I might be able to make a plugin that builds an entire ship, but I need a part list, and ship type list. But then again you may not be interested in such a thing.

Take Care and Happy MUD'ing,
