I am trying to figure out how to do a trigger replace thing with mxp but trying to find the documentation is alluding me.

I need something so when I press a button it will ask me What I want to add to my NPC list. Which puts that somewhere so when I see the NPC it will become a link type thing where when click it will automatically type kill (name of npc). If anyone would like to provide me with this I will be very happy and grateful.

Thank you!

I find MXP links hard to click as things are scrolling. Maybe use buttons?

#VAR V_KillList {a dog|a pony|a doe}

#TRIGGER {^({@V_KillList}) {arrives|flies|slimes in} from the %x$} {#IF (@V_KillLast3 != @V_KillLast2) {#VAR V_KillLast3 @V_KillLast2};#IF (@V_KillLast2 != @V_KillLast) {#VAR V_KillLast2 @V_KillLast};#VAR V_KillLast %1}

#BU B_KillLast {~@V_KillLast} {kill @V_KillLast}
#BU B_KillLast2 {~@V_KillLast2} {kill @V_KillLast2}
#BU B_KillLast3 {~@V_KillLast3} {kill @V_KillLast3}
#BU B_KillList {Add Kill} {#ADDITEM V_KillList %prompt("","Add to list:");#SH V_KillList is now: %expandlist(@V_KillList,%crlf)}

That way you click on the three buttons of the 3 most recent things you want to kill.

Something like that.

ok so is there a way so when i click a button it will bring up a menu with those certain npcs that it has seen in my current room and will send the command? (I'll still need to be able to add to the list easily)

Once again thanks again!

That is harder as usually the "long" name of NPCs are radically different.

A green dog sits here and barks.
A fluffy doe chews on an apple here.

You could make a trigger to capture the front pieces of those sentences.

Need to have your kill list reflect the long names of the NPCs:
#VAR V_KillList {A green dog sits|A fluffly doe chews}

Then you make a trigger similar to the one for moving above (delete the other)
#TRIGGER {^({@V_KillList})} {#IF (@V_KillLast3 != @V_KillLast2) {#VAR V_KillLast3 @V_KillLast2};#IF (@V_KillLast2 != @V_KillLast) {#VAR V_KillLast2 @V_KillLast};#VAR V_KillLast %1}

I'm basically just going to put generic names. As on my mud npcs have long names and short names and short names are the ones commanly used in killing and stuff. Like the tall fat man could be killed using "kill man", "kill tall man" "kill fat man" and "kill tall fat man"

and all of the npcs are listed in the last line of "look"

You could always make a #CW list to color your targets and use a speedmenu for one-click kills.

#VAR KillList {cockroach|rat|child}
#TR {{@KillList}} {#CW cyan}
#CLASS MySpeedMenu
#MENU "kill" {kill %selword}
#CLASS 0

Used Pretty Print
Syntax Colourizer

This'll color your targets cyan so you can easily see them. Then, simply right-click on the target name and select the menu command "kill". It will send the command "kill whatever you clicked on" to the MUD.

Once you #CAPTURE/#GAG the grouptalk from Discworld the scrolling is fairly slow. MXP should work if you really want to explore that option.

ok if there is more than one of those npcs in the room it will just do "kill" and not let me select which one :|

It works correctly for me, Right click the npc to kill and select kill

You could also change it like this

#CLASS MySpeedMenu
#MENU {kill %selword} {kill %selword}
#CLASS 0

And it will show kill wordselectedhere in the speedmenu so you know exactly what it is going to send
