Im trying to make a trigger/script for exploring that searches every room exit not available.

<trigger priority="5100" id="510">
<pattern>~[ obvious exits: (%w) (%w) ~]$</pattern>
<value>#echo %1
#echo %2
#IF ((%1 != S) AND (%2 != S)) {search south;#WAITFOR {You didn't find anything.} @searchtime {} {}}
#IF ((%1 != N) AND (%2 != N)) {search north;#WAITFOR {You didn't find anything.} @searchtime {} {}}
#IF ((%1 != E) AND (%2 != E)) {search east;#WAITFOR {You didn't find anything.} @searchtime {} {}}
#IF ((%1 != W) AND (%2 != W)) {search west;#WAITFOR {You didn't find anything.} @searchtime {} {}}
#IF ((%1 != U) AND (%2 != U)) {search up;#WAITFOR {You didn't find anything.} @searchtime {} {}}
#IF ((%1 != D) AND (%2 != D)) {search down;#WAITFOR {You didn't find anything.} @searchtime {#echo Done searching.} {}}</value>
</trigger>

Now i've used the #waitfor command because I want it to continue to the next search option when 'You didnt find anything.' right away. But incase you do find something, it times out and keeps searching.

But for some reason it'l search 1 or 2 rooms then completely stop. I can re-enter the room and it will search it fully. Any idea whats up?

you would need an ugly nested if for that
waitfor only pauses the current block of code (in this case, the rest of a single if statement) before continuing
it wont pause things outside of said code block

you would do better to turn your list of exits into a stringlist and do something like....

$testExits=N|S|E|W|U|D
#FORALL $testExits {#IF ((%1 != %i) AND (%2 != %i)) {search %i;#WAITFOR {You don't find anything.} @searchtime {}}}

Ah, didnt know about the #FORALL, thats pretty handy and much cleaner, thanks.

Tried it out and it only does one search though and then stops, doesnt complete the rest.

does @searchtime have an integer value?
might be better to just stick a real number there

Figued it out, was missing some brackets :)

#FORALL $testExits {#IF ((%1 != %i) AND (%2 != %i)) {search %i;#WAITFOR {You didn't find anything.} @searchtime {}{}}}

Another question, when I get more then 2 room exits, can it logically check for more than 1 and?

Pattern: ~[ obvious exits: (%w) (%w) (%w) ~]$
$testExits=N|S|E|W|U|D
#FORALL $testExits {#IF ((%1 != %i) AND (%2 != %i) AND (%3 != %1)) {search %i;#WAITFOR {You didn't find anything.} @searchtime {} {}}}

Every time it searches for the 3rd exit as if it's not checking for it.

you used %1 in the third instead of %i
but there is a better way....

Pattern: ~[ obvious exits: ([%w%s]) ~]$
$testExits=N|S|E|W|U|D
$myExits=%replace(%trim(%1), " ", "|")
#FORALL $testExits {#IF (!%ismember(%i, $myExits)) {search %i;#WAITFOR {You didn't find anything.} @searchtime {} {}}}
