Ok, I bought a system for Zmud, then decided I hated Zmud, now I need to convert the system to Mushclient, if anyone can help I'd be very grateful. This is all confusing, so if there is help, I will need it step by step, sorry.


Zmud Writhebalance in MSScript / VBSript

Wow, I didn't know it was that long, if you can do like the first 2 triggers (which ever 2 those are, I'm completly lost) I should be able to figure it out, I had another question, what are the random values for triggers, such as for zmud, a simple trigger looks like this

%w forms a spear hand and stabs out at you.$* connects to the * arm!

send: #var attack 1






thanks again for the help

Lets start at the beginning. Can you post the strings that you'd like to match, and what you'd like to do with them?

Hmm, it seems that the same triggers appear multiple times... is that normal?

You should post some example text of what you're trying to match, that always makes it easier to see exactly what we're looking for.

By the way, how does one writhe free from being impaled on a blade? Seems that once you're impaled on the blade you're sort of, well, dead. :-)

I'm not sure what I'm doing....I can e-mail anyone that wants a copy of the Zmud trigger/alias system so you can see it personally, but I'm not sure what I would copy so you can see what I'm having problems with.....hmmmm, the impale thing is a good point....

Give us direct quotes from the game and tell us what you want to do with them, would be a better way to phrase it, I guess.

lol, thats the problem, I bought the system because it takes months to build your own. It's a system based around curing afflictions and healing when you fight. All I have to go on is what Zmud has in it's files, which is what I copied above. the Writhebalance confuses the hell outta me, and I don't even know what to look for. Here is all I can do, sorry again for my ignorance.

Zmud version:

Pattern:%w dodges nimbly to the side and trips you to the floor.

Command: #echo ****STAND!!! STAND!!!****;#cw 6786;#temp {You have recovered} {stand}

----------------------------------
the %w is the random target or name I guess of the character doing the attack on you, what does mushclient use in place of that? Second, I'm not even sure what all that crap thats in the command section is, I would assume that all I would want to have sent is STAND....I don't know what the hell the #echo crap means

I get the feeling that some of the repeated stuff in the original was just flat out confusion on the part of the designer. Some of it did things that could be done in a single trigger and others where just plain redundant.

ok, I'm starting to get how this works now...a few more questions...what do the following things actually do?

^
%1
%2
%3
* (* this is a wildcard right?)

Hmm.. Actually, the first trigger in there needs to be:

match="^Sticky strands of webbing spray out from .* to cover you\."

I forgot the %1 was in there. :(

However, to answer your question:

'^' is a special character used with 'regexp' types. It means "only match if this is at the start of a line".

'*' is a wildcard, however in the line above you will notice I use '.*' instead, this is because * has a different meaning in regular expressions (regexp="y" types). In regexp it means "more than one of the prior item" and "." is the wildcard. Specifically - '.*' means "match any character + more than one of this character". This is identical to '*' when used in normal triggers. There is no real reason that first trigger should use it, but I later use this:

^(You have writhed free of your entanglement by tied ropes\.|You have writhed free of your entanglement by ropes\.)

In this case the '()' are a sub-collection and '|' means 'or', so it will match either one of those strings, which saves having to have more than one trigger.

As for things like %1, %2, %3, etc. These are the 'values' of a wildcard. These cannot be used in the 'match' field. Used in the send field they directly substitute the word(s) captured. For instance a trigger like:

match="* says: Hi!"
<send>say Hi %1.</send>

Would do this:

Line recieved - Fred says: Hi!
%1 becomes "Fred" and the trigger would send "say Hi Fred."

You will also notice that I use send_to="12" in several places. This means "treat all the stuff in <send></send> as code. In that case you would need to place "" around the %1 or direct substitution would result in the script thinking that the word(s) are variables, not a value. Using the above example:

Normal trigger - say Hi %1.
Using send_to="12" - send &quot;say Hi %1.&quot;

The &quot; is the XML version of ". If you are creating a trigger directly in Mushclient you would use the normal character, not the XML version.

As for how to use it all, you just fix the minor mistake I made, copy it all into the clipboard and use the "Paste" button in the trigger editing menu. Assuming I didn't screw up the actual XML code, it should copy the whole mess right into the trigger list. ;)

Here's one I've been playing around with trying to figure it out and I cant get it to work...

In a sensuously fluid motion, Kismit reaches out and draws you close, baring
pale fangs before sinking them into the tender flesh of your neck. Horrified,
you go limp as the pain intermingles with indescribable pleasure.


what do I set the trigger for and how? I need it to allow me to writhe

Hilight all of the triggers, then use Ctrl-C to copy them. If mushclient recognizes what is now in the clipboard as being a set of triggers, then a button that says "Paste" will be available in the trigger menu. That is all there is too it.
