is there a newbie guide to how to set up scripting on MUSH? i been using this client to mud for a while but never understood how to set up a script. i am not fluent in coding so i have no idea what kinda line by line needs to be written and how to trigger it to script.

I usually play ncmud.org 9000 which uses a DIKU type mudding. any help would be nice.

thanks

Did the trigger fire? You can see a trigger fire count in dialog when you edit it.

Can you show the trigger?

And the text from the MUD that it was supposed to match?

triggers work fine.. but i cant get the script and varibles to work.. triggers and alias work fine..
i dont think i can get the wild card to work also.. is that possible?


i ideally want to set a level script..
(i dont know how to run it from the beg)
i spd wlk to zone A and walk into first room, kill the mobs, then go to next room, etc..
when zone is cleared i go to zone B do the same..

how can i set (alias?) so that when my hp goes below certain % i grab heals from bag and quaf, when my exp is negative (since it count downs) and i am done with zone i go to trainer to train level..

It would help to see what you are doing, and then we can suggest improvements:

Template:bug Please help us by advising:
  • The version of MUSHclient you are using. Use the Help menu -> About MUSHclient.
  • A copy of the trigger, alias or timer you were using (see Copying XML)
  • The output from the MUD that caused the problem
  • The error message, if any, that you got (or other relevant output)

also i dont know how to turn on the script.. in the script config page, under script prefixes its says (not active) how do i turn it on?
i tried to make a simple script comment to see it actually do something like get heal bag but it doesnt even run that..
been stuck for a while.
do you have a simple short script that works on a particular mud so i can compare and see what i am doing wrong?

Did you look at all the "Getting Started" stuff? How about this?

They work but they don't work? Of course you can get wildcards to work. They are used extensively by many people.

This is all very vague without showing what you are doing, and what you are expecting to match.

Can you please copy and paste the trigger you are working on ...

If it calls a script, copy and paste the script. I presume it isn't very long.

that link is very useful.. i dont think i got that far.
the only items i have in my world is triggers and aliases..
eg
Alias (rune) (cast 'rune')
Trigger (You get a heal from your bag) triggers (quaf heal)

i havent got to the steps on the link.. will check it out and report back.. thanks NICK!

k i still dont get how to write a script..
how do you input a wildcard as a trigger..
say mending equipment..
i will type <mend *> with * being the obj.
and the mud returns <You buff and polish * a bit.>

i want to keep sending <mend *> till it doesnt return the msg.
