I found Isyldyrs autohunt, and it is fantastic, however, my SCAN provides this information:

[North]
A small rock
An alchemist
A mud monster
[East]
A tiny elemental
A small blob of acid
A rainbow warrior
[South]
The elemental guardian
A flame
A small rock
A rainbow warrior
A rainbow warrior
[West]
Nobody here.
[Up]
No exit.
[Down]
No exit.

Is there any way to adapt to that? (I cant figure out how to adapt is, since it doesnt list direction with the mob name)

However, if I type 'look north', I CAN get a list of the mobs in that room, if that helps at all.

Thanks in advance. :-)

I think I have something to help you capture the info, but I need know exactly what your scan output looks from issuance of the scan command to whatever regular line appears/doesn't appear after the last scan output line (a prompt, some sort of tag for the SCAN output, a blank line, etc).

Also, if there are ansi colors involved (maybe you don't have colorized text from the MUD, but I recognize the area you're in and most muds with that seem to be colorized), it might be easier if the colors of the directional tags were known.

Ok, here is the text from my other post, showing the scan output:

[North]
No exit.
[East]
No exit.
[South]
BoobooKitty's servant
BoobooKitty's servant
BoobooKitty's servant
[West]
No exit.
[Up]
No exit.
[Down]
No exit.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Since I don't know what Isyldur's autohunt looks like, I don't have anything to adapt.
However, based on the SCAN you provided it should be quite easy to get the direction.
#TR {~[(%w)~]} {#VAR scandir %1} {autohunt}
There you go. @scandir will now contain the direction to the mob. I even put the trigger into a class, for ease of control.

Isyldurs AutoHunt is as follows:

#CLASS {Autohunt}
#ALIAS Hunt {
#var mobEnemy {} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
#var mobDirection {} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
#var numRooms {} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
look
#wait 6000
#t+ MatchEnemy
#loop %numitems( @exits) {scan <%item(@exits,<%i>)>}
#wait 6000
#t- MatchEnemy
#if (@mobEnemy) {
#loop 1,@numRooms {@mobDirection}
kill @mobEnemy
} {
RandomMove
hunt
}
}
#ALIAS RandomMove {
#exec %item( @exits, %random( 0, %numitems( @exits)))
#var exits {} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
}
#VAR mobEnemyList {monster|kobold|human|cat|wolf|snake}
#VAR mobEnemy {wolf}
#VAR mobDirection {northwest}
#VAR numRooms {1}
#VAR exits {north|east|south|west|up|down|northwest|northeast|southwest|southeast}
#TRIGGER {*{@mobEnemyList}* is DEAD!!} {hunt}
#TRIGGER {^ ~[Exits:%s(*)%s~]} {#var exits {%replace( %1, ' ', |)} {_nodef} {Autohunt}}
#TRIGGER {They aren't here.} {hunt}
#CLASS 0
#CLASS {Autohunt|MatchEnemy}
#TRIGGER {*({@mobEnemyList})*, nearby to the (%w).} {
#var mobEnemy {%1} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
#var mobDirection {%2} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
#var numRooms {1} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
#t- MatchEnemy
}
#TRIGGER {*({@mobEnemyList})*, not far (%w).} {
#var mobEnemy {%1} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
#var mobDirection {%2} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
#var numRooms {2} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
#t- MatchEnemy
}
#CLASS 0

Please, I appreciate your answer, but dont know how to add #TR {~[(%w)~]} {#VAR scandir %1} {autohunt} to it....

Sorry about the double post, just someone responded to the two-week old one today.

Put it right before the line that says
#CLASS {Autohunt}

Then change this trigger (changes in red)
#TRIGGER {^({@mobEnemyList})*, nearby to the (%w).} {
#var mobEnemy {%1} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
#var mobDirection {@scandir} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
#var numRooms {1} {_nodef} {Autohunt}
#t- MatchEnemy
}

The script will probably need several other changes as well, since the scan command is quite a bit different.

Well, *wry grin* Thanks anyway, then. I am completely lost as to how to
adjust it. Maybe someone will see it as a challenge or something. Untill
then, thank you for your help.

Probably easier to throw the whole thing out and do your own. Here's the basic plan:
1. Scan
2. Notice a direction which has a target you'd like to kill
3. Move in that direction
4. Kill that target
5. Repeat
6. If there are no targets, pick a direction at random and move

You only need one direction which contains targets, since you can't be in two places at the same time. Therefore, you can either take the first direction containing targets or the last one.
