Feature

Description

Alias

allows you to assign one or more commands to a short word or phrase

Trigger

allows to execute automatically one or more commands when in the MUD appears a specific expression or word
from version 1.7 triggers supports complicated expressions with % variables (read the Info box)

Info
Triggers can now evaluate complicated expressions and save parameters, that can be then used in reactions.
Ex. Trigger expression: %1 says '%2'
Reaction: say %1 %2
When in the MUD appears for example the text "Someone says 'hello!'", the client save %variables and use them to make the reaction: %1="Someone", %2="hello!" and the reaction will be "say Someone hello!".
You can use parameters from %1 to %9 to write expressions.

Macro

allows to assign a combination of keys to an alias or trigger

Variables

allows to setup some variable expressions and use them in alias and trigger

Info
Each variable is preceded by the symbol "@", so if you have defined a variable "weapon", you must reference it as "@weapon". If you insert that expression in the command prompt, in a trigger or a alias, it will be replaced by the variable value. Ex. if you give to "@weapon" the value "sword" and you type "buy @weapon" at commands prompt, the client will send "buy sword".
There are two ways to define a variable: the first is through the settings window, the second is by typing specific commands in the command line. Command line interface support two syntaxes:

"@"
By typing only this symbol, yuo'll receive a list of defined variables

"@<varname> = <value>"
This other command instead, allows you to change a variable value or define new variables.
<varname> must be replaced by the name of the var you're modifying or creating, <value> by the variable new value, regarding of ignoring the <> characters.
Ex. to change the @weapon value you can simply write "@weapon = dagger" and a message will confirm the change.

To send to the mud the "@" character as it is, you must type "\@".
Ex. to send "name@host.it" you must type "name\@host.it", elsewhere "@host.it" will be interpreted as a variable.
