MushClient

[Kresslack]

I know about 99.9% of people in Akanbar use Zmud/Cmud, but if anyone comes along that uses MushClient and needs any help, let me know. TinyFugue is also another Very strong, free client...it just takes a high knowledge of coding, as you literally have to script every, single, thing.

Not that I'm expecting anyone to see this.....

I'm using mushclient atm, due to various reasons... and would really like to use variables, but have no idea how to. o.o

Any help?

What a question!

Here's an example or three, which should give you a pretty good indication as to how things play out. If you know anything of Lua and regexp, it should be self-explanatory. If not, keep the questions coming and I'll see how I can narrow it all down.

[u][b]Triggers[/b][/u] (send to script)

Pattern: ^Welcome to Akanbar, (\w+)\.$

Script: SetVariable("myname","%1")

[u][b]Aliases[/b][/u] (send to script)

Pattern: ^t (\w+)$

Script: SetVariable("target","%1")

They can be referred to in scripting the same way they can in zMUD, if I recall correctly (@).

[u][b]Aliases[/b][/u]

Pattern: ^sd$

Script: symbiote defile @target

For aliases or triggers that reference variables that way, you'll need to have 'Expand Variables' checked off on the right side. Hope this helps somewhat!

Omg thank you so much dimey
so
send to script
SetVariable("Variable","%1")
sets variable Variable as what is defined in the trigger/alias/etc as (\w+)$

Why does the Welcome to have the \.? To not include the dot at the end of the line?
Thanks :-D

Putting a \ before a character "escapes" it, so the client doesn't try to process it as part of a regular expression.

Admittedly you may not NEED to escape a period (with MUSH, think you do - Mudlet is the questionable one there), but I escape everything just in case.
