Hey all,
I have a large lack of knowledge for any real coding. I've gone through the Help Files from google and tried to find what I'm looking for, though I need further help.
I play a MUSH which has a pretty basic combat system. I want an idle targeting trigger to use while I'm doing stuff on my other screen and following other players. As such, I set up this trigger:
TRIGGER: * prepares for combat with *.
SEND TO WORLD: TARGET %1
(Target is automatically attacking whoever the creature prepares for combat with)
It works great, it will target whichever creature comes up in the MUSH output while following people. The issue I have is that:
1) I don't want it to accidentally target player characters (most NPCs use an L<#> to indicate level, for example, L16 Velociraptor prepares for combat with YOU, so I'd love to have the option for it to ONLY target things with an L<#> in it's name).
2) It fires multiple times very quickly. So let's say there's 2 NPCs in the room, it will trigger on both of them within succession, where I only want it to target ONE of them to start with, then when that one dies, move onto the next in the room.
Here are some of the phrases from the MUSH.
L6 Dilophosaurus prepares for combat with YOU. <- This will always be a tan text, not highlight yellow.
You earn 92.582 experience points for personal combat. <- This is also always in tan yellow, and happens after each creature dies in combat.
So I would love something that would:
L6 attacks, I automatically target and combat is automatic from that point on through the MUSH anyways via combat rounds. Once L6 is dead, I would love for it to scan for other enemies, then automatically target them and move onto combat with them as well.
I'm not completely idle here, I'm generally watching both of my monitors, however, I usually play a graphical game while I'm in a party with people on the MUSH hunting, as it can be kind of boring to sit there and watch text automatically scroll by.
Thanks!
