Using v7.05

Modified from a previous loop about how not to use #UNTIL, I came up with this:

#ALIAS myhide {hide;#wait (1000);#T+ hideTrig}
#TRIGGER "hideTrig" {hide yourself} {hide;#wait (1000)}
#TRIGGER {attempt to hide but exhaust} {#T- hideTrig;sleep;#wait (30000);wake;#T+ hideTrig;hide}

What I'm ATTEMPTING is this:

1. hide
2. if not exhausted, repeat step 1, else go to step 3
3. sleep
4. #WAIT (30000)
5. wake up, and go to step 1

ANYHOW, what I'd ultimately like would be the use of #VAR strings for "success", "fail", and "time to rest" to customize the loop quicker for other skills but not familiar with where/how I'd plug that into my triggers/alias.

Thanks for any assistance. If I can get this working, I'll be super-pleased with zMUD and am much more likely to buy it Very Happy

Oh yeah, and how do I STOP this from running? It runs over and over and over ... I need some way to stay "okay, enough" and do something else. Other than turning off triggers, that is. [:I]

Don't use #WAIT in triggers.
#CLASS HidePractice disable
#ALA HideAlarm *1 {hide}
#TR {attempt to hide but exhaust} {#T- HideAlarm;sleep}
#COND {} {#T+ HideAlarm} {Wait|Param=30000}
#CLASS 0
#T- HidePractice
#AL HidePrac {#IF (%lower( "%1") = "off") {#T- HidePractice} {#T+ HidePractice}}

Thanks, your code works great.

I need a way to stop it from looping though. I'd like to manually type an "emote" command that I can build a trigger with to disable the triggers from this code sample you've written up.

"emote is ready"

will print:

Mycharname is ready

... to the MUD. How can I write a trigger to disable this from looping forever?

I already gave you an alias to do it, you don't even need to emote.
