Zugg Software :: View topic - Limiting Selection Range in a %pick Function

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 6:13 am

I'm trying to write a %pick function that offers several choices, but the mud only allows a max of 4 arguements at one time to be entered for the command I'm trying to do (i am never sure which 4 they will be). Is there any way to limit the pick box to allow the user to select no more than x number of choices? My code is:

#SEND add %replace(%pick("p:Pick Items to Add","o:?","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10"),|," ")

I know o:1 limits the pick box to one selection only, and I've tried o:2 but that just turns the arguement into one of the pickable options. Oh, just to clarify "add" is a command from my mud I am not trying to use the "#ADD" command in Zmud.

You could set the trigger to do something like this:

Make the trigger to set a var to the intire list you want
then have the trigger set the pick to %item(@PICKORDER,1) through %item(@PICKORDER,4)
