Mudlet - Forum

Probably the most common trigger that I used in zmud is for groups, and I have no idea how to make it here. I want a basic trigger that makes it so that when another player tells the group to attack a target, my character does so.

EXAMPLE:

Annie tells the group 'whack wolfman'

kill wolfman

How do I translate that into the proper syntax for mudlet, with the name of the player and the name of the mob as wildcards?

trigger type would be regex, pattern would be:

^\w+ tells the group 'whack (\w+)'$

and the code would be

send("kill " .. matches[2])

matches[3] I think.

Nah, matches[2]. The first w is non capturing due to a lack of parentheses.

What tarkenton said. They didn't specify they wanted to hold on to the person sending the message, just that it should be a wildcard.

Well I never knew that about the brackets! Every day a school day
