Zmud Script in a Variable
|
I am doing some stuff where i want a variable to be some scripting. Multiple lines and everytime i select the zmud script box and save it...it reverts back to the text option and my scripting in the variable doesn't work.... Any ideas on how to get that to stick.or is there a trick to it. that i am missing..

Without seeing the script, I'll just point out the generic information.
1.) If you manually put spaces in front of your lines of script, it does not save often. (found through experience)
2.) Scripting variables require you to place a @ in front of them.
Defined: #var text "hello world!"
Referencing: #show @text |

Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2005 8:23 pm here is the script
|
#VAR ran9 {'hey you.....
#wait 3000
'with the bike...
#wait 2000
'quit looking at me before i open a a can} {} "randomaction"
the says work fine...but the waits don't work ...it is sending the literal to the mud rather than executing a pause...
If i click the zmud script it identifys the waits just fine but when i click save it reverts the setting back to TEXT and the waits are no longer in the pretty print identified as script.
I have tried starting one from scratch and click the zmud script first before i do anything...and i have tried the save button under file rather than on the variable window...with no luck...
It jsut appears that it is not saving the setting change....or does not alow that setting to be changed and saved..or set as smud script and saved |

You are probably looking for:
#ALIAS ran9 {
'hey you.....
#wait 3000
'with the bike...
#wait 2000
'quit looking at me before i open a a can
"randomaction"
}
To run it from an alias or a trigger, use:
#EXEC ran9 |

Yea i guess that would work....but i don't see why what i am doing..shouldn't work...
Here is the full scenario.
On a specfic action
%1 looks at you
excute
@(ran%random{1,8})
so it excutes a random action from a list of 8 items....
I'll switch it over to an alias ...but to me it looks like there is a bug in the variable screen when trying to excute a script within a variable.
Thanks

Variables were not meant for executing scripts. but there is a workaround %exec
