Auto-casting spells

Hello everyone,

I have never done anything like this before so, please be kind... I have played a game (gemstone 3) for 5 years now using the supplied frontend, The Wizard. Well, I have heard about the availability of other clients and found Mushclient. I have successfully created several triggers and after reading many of the help files I decided that one thing I want to do is auto cast as spells wear off. As a wizard, part of my importance to the group effort is in my ability to cast offensive and defensive spells on group members. I wish to cast only on my group members though, wouldn't really please my party members if i was to pump up the critters, know what I mean? I thought maybe of using a variable with my friends names, but I must admit I don't know what I am doing. Please help. Realize that my ignorance is far from blissful and to be taken by the hand and lead step by virtual step would be most helpful.

Thank you,

Kaz

okay, I found how useful Regular Expressions can be.... still plowing through all the Help files and whatnot.

You might find variables helpful. You can set them from the command line, or through the configuration screen. Here is a bit from the trigger help that describes them ...

If expand variables is on (checked) then a variable name in the format @name is expanded. To put a @ symbol itself in the trigger, use two @@.

Here is an example of such an trigger:

unlock @direction

For this trigger to work you would need a variables, "direction".

You can set variables by using the configuration dialog box, or through a scripting command (if scripting is enabled), like this:

/world.setvariable "direction", "north"


In your case you might set up a variable "friends", and then set up a trigger (or alias depending on what you are trying to do) that casts the spell on @friends.
