Changing exits output
|
Hi. Does anybody have a set of triggers and what not that will change the way exits are setup from sentence form to just an array type look?
From:
You see exits leading north, east and down.
To:
[Exits: n e d ]
The mud is Achaea, and I'm using zmud.
Any help or advice is appreciated. |

#trigger {You see exits leading (*).} {ShortExits = %replace(%replace("%1"," and ", ", "),", ","|");#forall @shortexits {#case %ismember(%i,"master list of exits possibilities") {shortexits = %replaceitem(see helpfile for parameters, recreate this code block for each direction in the master list of exits)}};#sub {%concat("[Exits: ",%replace(@ShortExits,"|"," "),"]")}}

Thank you for the information. I'm sorry I've never used replaceitem, and I don't see what should go in the 'see helpfile...' area. I've looked at the helpfile for it and see that it will replace something in the list but I don't understand how to make it work. Could you please give me an example of what should be going there?
Thank you. |

Syntax: %replaceitem(s,n,list)
Replaces the nth item in list with s.
|
s = the new string you want
n = the stringlist element number of the item you want to replace
list = name of the stringlist variable you want to save the results to
%replaceitem("n", 1, @shortexits)
Your specific solution will be something like %replaceitem("n", %ismember("north", @shortexits), @shortexits), and you would duplicate this for all your directions replacing the n/north with the appropriate versions of each direction:
{shortexits = %replaceitem("n", %ismember("north", @shortexits), @shortexits)} {shortexits = %replaceitem("s", %ismember("south", @shortexits), @shortexits)} {shortexits = %replaceitem("e", %ismember("east", @shortexits), @shortexits)} {etc, etc, and so on} |
