MUSHclient scripting

Description of MUSHclient world function: world.Simulate


Name Simulate
Type Method
Summary Simulate input from the MUD, for debugging purposes
Prototype void Simulate(BSTR Text);
Description

The argument to this function is supplied to MUSHclient as if it had been sent from the MUD. This is intended for debugging triggers etc, similar to the Game -> Test Trigger menu option.

This should be used with caution inside scripts. If you simulate input inside a trigger, the input causing another trigger to fire, you are likely to get a stack overflow.

An example of using it would be to bind it to a keystroke (like F11), so that if you are testing a trigger that matches on:

Exits: north

... then you might do this:

Accelerator ("F11", "/Simulate 'Exits: north\n' ")


Note: Available in version 3.73 onwards.


VBscript example
Simulate "Exits: north" + vbCrLf
Jscript example
Simulate ("Exits: north\n");
Lua example
Simulate ("Exits: north\n")
Lua notes
You can supply multiple arguments, which are concatenated together.
Returns Nothing.
Introduced in version 3.73
