Hi Everyone =)

I had a question, I want to "capture" triggers that can't go off.
Like most of us, I have a set of triggers for auto-spell casting in the mud i play.

Now, when fighting, i can't cast the trig.

the message is:
Impossible! You can't concentrate enough!

when a mob dies, i either got 1 exp for a mob or more, but theres one of two messages:

You gain one measly exp for this fight.
You gain XXX experience points for killing this opponent.

I want to figure out how to capture failed spells, and recast them after my autoloot.

example of midfight text:
in my mud you can xemote, so i xemote midfight to set my own trigger off:

| 1131H 356M 351V awful > xemote feels less protected.
You feel less protected.
cast 'armor' majere

| 1131H 356M 351V awful > Impossible! You can't concentrate enough!

| 1131H 356M 351V awful >
You pierce Inspector Very Long extremely hard in his

I really don't know the commands to begin such a task, or if it is possible with version 6.16.

THank you ZMUD users,
Majere

Hmm, theres more than one way to kill a cat, Id do it like this:

Make a new Trigger, which captures "Impossible! You can't concentrate enough!" and sets a variable like Fighting=1

In the triggers that try to re-cast your spells, check this variable, and if its set to 1, then dont cast the spell, just add the spell to a list for later use.

Make another new trigger, which triggers on: "You gain one measly exp for this fight.|You gain * experience points for killing this opponent.", and in the commands, do a loop through all the previously saved spells you couldnt cast, and cast them, and reset Fighting=0.

I'm sorry Lady C, i'm still not understanding right..

I understand that if i get the Impossible! message to set a var as fighting = 1 for the spell, but only manually.

I don't understand how to automatically add the spell to the loop, or how to set the var for the previous spell attempt cast automatically either.

How did you set up auto-casting then? ;)

#TRIGGER {Impossible! You can't concentrate enough!} {#VAR Fighting 1}

#TRIGGER {You feel less protected.} {#IF(@Fighting) {#ADDITEM CastAfter "cast 'armor' majere"} {cast 'armor' majere}}

#TRIGGER {You gain one measly exp for this fight.|You gain %d experience points for killing this opponent.} {#FORALL @CastAfter {%i}; #VAR Fighting 0}

Something like that..
(untested)
