Question about MUSHClient

Erythrykos

How do I make an alias to toggle the enabled/disabled state of a trigger or group of triggers? For example, have on alias, huntON, to enable all my triggers grouped under hunting, and a second alias, huntOFF, to disable them. Or could I just make one alias to do both?

First off, come to the dark side and use Mudlet.  We have cookies

With my obligatory come2Mudlet comment out of the way, I think something like this would work.  As a warning, I don't use mushclient.  However, something along the lines of

Alias text  box: ^hunt(ON|OFF)$

in the box:

if %1 == "ON" then 

EnableGroup("hunting", true)

Note("Hunting triggers enabled!")

elseif %1 == "OFF" then 

DisableGroup("hunting", false)

Note("Hunting triggers disabled!")

end -- if

On the right, set the send to to Script

Easiest way to go about this, if you only want one alias to do it! Of course, you can play around with it. Whatever you want the alias to be, just change the different instances of 'hunt', the spots where it says 'hunting' however, are going to be the variable it makes to toggle it properly

<aliases>
  <alias
   match="hunt"
   enabled="y"
   expand_variables="y"
   variable="hunting"
   send_to="12"
   ignore_case="y"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>
if hunting == "true" then
SetVariable("hunting","false")
hunting = "false"
EnableTriggerGroup ("<TRIGGER GROUP NAME>", false)  -- enable the group
ColourNote("red", "black", "Hunting triggers off!")
else
SetVariable("hunting","true")
hunting = "true"
EnableTriggerGroup ("<TRIGGER GROUP NAME>", true)  -- disable the group
ColourNote("green","black", "Hunting triggers on!")
end--if</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>

Thanks! Now for a bit more complicated question, how would I go about replacing the ColourNote lines with an emote command instead? So when I toggle hunting on, it would emote something like:

Erythrykos holds out his cupped palm and conjures a small mote of cosmic fire as he prepares to go hunting.

And for hunting off:

Erythrykos shakes his hand, extinguishing the last of the cosmic fire lingering there, signifying that this hunt is over.

One particular note about mush, you might need to do "%1" == "on" if Aiyana's doesn't do it.

On emoting, you'd just want to trade out the Note for a Send("emote whatever")
