You could use the onTick event (assuming you've set up CMUD to be in sync with your MUD tick) or you could use a trigger that goes on your prompt.
Essentially you'll need two variables: target and targetList. At each prompt( or tick) you set target to be equal to the next member of targetList. Something like so.
| Code: |
target = %item(@targetList, @counter)
#ADD counter 1 |

Sorry Just Trying To Understand...
#var {target} {%item(@targetlist, @counter)
#add counter 1
The add counter adds 1 to the target lister? each time its triggered? and goes to the the next on the list?
so the targetlist would be like
1 shade
2 devil
3 orphan |

%item takes two arguments: the list and the position of the item you want in the list. So @counter keeps track of the target position in the list you're currently on.
The main problem I see with Tech's proposal is that is doesn't rotate. You'd need to reset the counter when you arrive at the last item in the list. Or, you could change his example to something like:
| Code: |
target = %item(@targetList, @counter)
counter = %mod(@counter + 1, %numitems(@targetList)) + 1
|
I'm not sure how you're building the list but you would need to make it a string list in order to use functions like %item and %numitems. See #additem for easily building string lists. |
