| I've never composed a script for Mush before. I need to compose a very very simple script.
inputs a list of commands in to the MUD
pauses for 1 second
inputs another list of commands in to the MUD
pauses for 3 seconds
and repeats itself
Would be nice if I could turn it on and off with a macro key.
Please Help!!

| Thank you! That was very helpful. Have an input commnd there and a delay command. And have an alias to turn it on / start it.
Only two more questions:
How could I make it continuously repeat by itself?
How could I assin a macro key or alias to turn it off / stop it?

| Well to repeat you can make a loop, like this:
<aliases>
<alias
match="start"
enabled="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
SetVariable ("stopnow", "n")
require "wait"
wait.make (function ()
repeat
Send ("open bag")
wait.time (1)
Send ("get food bag")
wait.time (2)
Send ("eat food")
wait.time (1)
Send ("close bag")
until GetVariable ("stopnow") == "y"
end)
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
This example (which you invoke by typing "start") loops until the variable "stopnow" contains "y". It starts off by setting that variable to "n", so it will loop.
Next you need an alias to set the stopnow variable:
<aliases>
<alias
match="stop"
enabled="y"
variable="stopnow"
send_to="9"
sequence="100"
>
<send>y</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
That will move "y" to stopnow, thus stopping the loop. |
