[help] Mudlet is crashing

[icesteruk]

Soo I made an alias like

^hut ?(\w*) ?(\w*) ?(\w*) ?(\w*) ?(\w*)$

with .....

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

mayhem.hunt = {}

if matches[2] then
mayhem.hunt.one = matches[2]
end
if matches[3] ~= "" then
mayhem.hunt.two = matches[3]
end

if matches[4] ~= ""  then
mayhem.hunt.three = matches[4]
end
if matches[5] ~= ""  then
mayhem.hunt.four = matches[5]
end
if matches[6] ~= ""  then
mayhem.hunt.five = matches[6]
end

Which works perfect but IF i change it to

^hunt ?(\w*) ?(\w*) ?(\w*) ?(\w*) ?(\w*)$

it crashes mudlet ... Any one happen to know why... this happened on a friends mudlet so I thought to check it on my own and it happens on mine also!

so hunt batman robin joker .... crashes but hut batman robin joker.. doesnt..

I imagine you are calling 'hunt <mob>' somewhere else, causing an infinite loop.

nope I checked, the guy who had the first issue wasnt even on my system, I only called hunt that one time :/

I call ^hunting$ ..

it matches both as you have the ? after 'hut ' which means there can be a space or there can't. Thus when you type in 'hunting' it will fire that one as well... I'd suggest changing that.
