Capturing info into buttons
|
How do you capture stuff off the MUD into buttons or panels for viewing? For example one thing I want to capture is the people that are in the room I walk into, and put into buttons for each person, that I can refresh by another button. Here is an example of the MUDs output when entering a room.

In the midst of a dank and fetid marsh.
Dark and murky water combined with the slightly acrid stench of
decomposing plant matter serve to fill your senses. Decorating the surface
of the fluid are scattered clumps of algae, a few distinct oversized lily
pads, and wide swathes of duckweed. Jutting out of the primordial soup of
the marsh are the same twisting cypress arms that fill the rest of the area
as well as the odd group of drooping weeping willow limbs. Despite the
inhospitable look of the fens if examined closely movement can be seen below
the surface.
It's raining lightly, very hot, and breezy.
Obvious exits: n s w nw sw
(13) A scrumptious looking steak is here.
( 9) A y-shaped twig is here.
A stumpy male halfling is here, covered in fern debris.

If someone could help me or at least point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thank you.
EDIT: I figured out how to make it capture the text and all with triggers and variables, however, now I run into the problem of getting it to make one button per item. It only pulls the first stumpy male halfling, and throws it into a button, but I can't figure out how to make it repeat itself and make additional buttons for each new line(mob or character) in the room. Any ideas? Thank you again. |

#BU test {Test Button} {look}
creates a new button, with an ID of "test", that sends the look command to the MUD when it is clicked
----------
What if you used a variable which counted the number of times you make buttons (reset when you hit 255 or something) and use it for the ID?
#BU @Mybuttoncounter {@MobNameICaptured} {kill @MobNameICaptured}
Doesn't solve a 1.mob 2.mob but it would make more buttons. |

The best way to do this is precreate all the buttons you need. Then use your triggers to simply populate a variable with all the data. I do this for spells on my character with the buttons all set in a right hand panel. This is my system, it may give you some ideas of how to do it.

The variable that contains the data for the buttons is kept seperately for each character of the mud. This is one example.
#VAR Ability {Count 16 Name1 Armor Display1 NF SVar1 Spells Command1 weave Name2 Bless Display2 NF SVar2 Spells Command2 weave Name3 Frenzy Display3 NF SVar3 Spells Command3 weave Name4 Protection Display4 NF SVar4 Spells Command4 weave Name5 Water Shield Display5 NF SVar5 Spells Command5 weave Name6 Sanctuary Display6 NF SVar6 Spells Command6 weave Name7 Fireproof Display7 NF SVar7 Spells Command7 weave Name8 Fortify Display8 NF SVar8 Spells Command8 weave Name9 Haste Display9 NF SVar9 Spells Command9 weave Name10 Phase Display10 NF SVar10 Spells Command10 weave Name11 Strength Display11 NF SVar11 Spells Command11 weave Name12 Detect Hidden Display12 NF SVar12 Spells Command12 weave Name13 Infravision Display13 NF SVar13 Spells Command13 weave Name14 Invis Display14 NF SVar14 Spells Command14 weave Name15 Detect Invis Display15 NF SVar15 Spells Command15 weave Name16 Untie All Display16 ControlWeaves SVar16 Spells Command16 untie}
You of course don't need to do anything this complex, but feel free to try using mine. |
