Making a universal profile for multiple characters?
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2022 9:48 pm
Heya, I'm trying to cut down on the tedium of having multiple characters on one MUD and having to update alias/triggers/variables whenever I make a change that would apply to multiple characters. So, for example: I have the same triggers to highlight specific spells wearing off, the same aliases for drinking potions, and the same variable names for weapons and bags (though the names contained within the variables are different, e.g. "sword" vs. "staff").
- I understand if I make a universal profile of sorts, export it as a module, then import it on every character profile and sync it, then if I add/change an alias/trigger/script in one character profile, it'll automatically update to all the others the next time I load the others?
- If I do the above, will the permanent variables sync across profiles? I actually wouldn't want them to, since for example, a warrior uses a different weapon than a mage, so while a my_weapon variable would share the same variable name (for ease with universal aliases/triggers), the actual info contained within would be different, for example, "sword" vs. "staff"
- If doing this sort of universal and automatically updating/syncing profile is possible locally via installing the module on each individual character profile, is there a layman-user (me!) way to sync these sorts of settings via the cloud?
- Is there anything else I should be aware of or am not realizing about this sort of thing?
