Zugg Software :: View topic - lost my settings and forgot this easy one

i have an alias set to regain my weapon. It is

pattern: DISARMS you
action: get @weap1;wear @weap1;sec @weap2

obviously this is for a character with dual wield. Now, I have a variety of weapons, but for this sake, we'll only use one example, because once I am reminded how to do this one example, I can apply it to the others.

I need to set something up whereby I can define my new vampiric weapons as I get them, and "integrate" them into my disarm trigger. Example:

alias is "setvamp". I type "setvamp", it prompts me for my primary vampiric weapon (#PR vamp1), then prompts me for my secondary vampiric weapon (#PR vamp2).

when I type "vamp", it reads the information in vamp1 and vamp2, wears those weapons, and sets vamp1 = weap1, and vamp2 = weap2. That way, when i'm wearing my vampiric weapons, my disarm trigger will work.

therefore, I type "setvamp", and it prompts me for my primary vamp weapon ('devil's pitchfork'), and my secondary vamp weapon ('serpentine dagger')

When I type "vamp", I wear the Devils' pitchfork, and second the serpentine dagger. If I get disarmed, i will grab the devil's pitchfork, wear it, and second the serpentine dagger.

I also will apply this for "stun1" and "stun2", which will be totally different weapons, and when I type "stun", I wear my primary and secondary stun weapons. If I get disarmed, @weap1 and @weap2 will have already been updated with the info from @stun1 and @stun2, so I will grab my stun weapon, wear it, second my secondary stun weapon.

Anyway, sorry so long and drawn out, but I wanted to be sure I explained it. Any help greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a good plan. What is your question?

my question? How do I do what I want to do in zmud? I don't know the syntax to get it to work.

aha! that's it!

that reminded me what i had!

i have a slightly different version of the alises tho:

alias:setvamp
value:
#VAR vamp1 %prompt(devil's pitchfork,"Vamp1:")
#VAR vamp2 %prompt(serpentine dagger,"Vamp2:")

instead, i have:
alias: setvamp
value: #pr vamp1;#pr vamp2

that way i can "update on the fly", by tping "setvamp", and it prmopts me. the part about:

alias:vamp
value:
#VAR weap1 @vamp1
#VAR weap2 @vamp2
wear @weap1
sec @weap2

was the main part i was missing. thanks! =)
