I have a set of auction triggers set up and id like to add something to prompt me for a new item and starting price for the next item. Like a window or something to pop up and say "Auction another item?" and if yes, "Item?_________" once thats entered, "Price?_____"

Auctions dont run 24 hours a day. So i have trigger set to fire off the initial auction.

Here's what i have sofar:

#class auction
#var AucItem
#var AucPrice

I have a few triggers that handle things ok for me now:

#trigger {Auction~:*sold} {#T+ auction; #IF @AucItem {auction @AucItem @AucPrice} {#T- auction}}

This one is intended to fire when someone else sells something successfully. There is no "cue" for the auction system. It's pretty much survival of the quickest.

Do i have that IF right? what im intending it to do is
#IF theres and item in the AucItem variable {do this action}if not{do this action}

#TR {No bids received for *} {#T+ auction; #IF @AucItem {auction @AucItem @AucPrice} {#T- auction}}

Above is another possible outcome of the initial auction.

#TR {No bids received for * @AucItem} {this is where id like it to ask me for a new item}
but only if i was unsuccessful in selling an item that I was auctioning, not everytime it sees that message.

#TR {The auctioneer pays you} {I'd also like it to ask me here}

The following are the actual mud outputs for various situations:

Auction: A new item is being auctioned: a golden dragonscale torso at 0 gold.
Auction: a golden dragonscale torso sold to Soandso for 66,000.
Auction: No bids received for a fiery green emerald - removed from auction.
The auctioneer pays you 180,000 gold, charging an auction fee of 20,000.

Right now im just filling the AucItem and AucPrice items manually of course, which isnt that big of a deal, i just thought it'd be neat to be prompted.

Thanks for any help.

Make your self an alias containing this
AucItem=%prompt("", "Auction Item?")
#IF (@AucItem) {AucPrice=%prompt("", "At what price?")
#IF (!@AucPrice) {AucItem=""}}
