Hey there people. I have a script in mind. I know what I want it to do but not how to write it (Still getting to grips with scripting :). Wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction. I have an attack combo that I am working on. The first attack (attack A) bounces me into an adjacent location of my choosing. The second attack (attack B) then returns me to the location from which I executed the original attack.

So what I am looking for is a script that would execute the exits command which would bring up the text:
"You see exits leading a, b, and c."
Maybe use a wildcard on the first exit (say it is east), execute the attack A and specify that direction (east).

Then wait for me to regain my balance at which point this text will appear:
"You have recovered balance on all limbs."

Then execute the attack B which would remember the direction of my opponent (west of me).

The only porblem with this is that the exits text and the balance text are quite common so the triggers for them would have to switch on (probably trigger on the attack A command) and then switch off after the second attack (probably trigger on the attack B command). Any ideas as to how I could do this?

Any advice/suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for now,
LindZ.

One idea would be to have a trigger fire on the exits text and send %1 to a variable (say we call it AtkDir):



  <trigger

   enabled="y"

   match="^You see exits leading (.+), .*/.$"

   regexp="y"

   name="AtkDir"

   send_to="9"

   sequence="100"

  >

  <send>%1</send>

  </trigger>



Then have an alias for your attack sequence that used that variable:



  <alias

   match="Atk"

   enabled="y"

   expand_variables="y"

   ignore_case="y"

  >

  <send>Attack @AtkDir

  </alias>



Finally have one more trigger that fires when you regain your balance and calls a script to determine the direction opposite of your initial attack and send off your second attack:



  <trigger

   enabled="y"

   match="You have recovered balance on all limbs."

   name="AtkDir2"

   script="AtkDir2"

   sequence="100"

  >

  </trigger>


Sub AtkDir2(a, b, c)

  Select Case UCase(World.GetVariable(AtkDir))
  Case "NORTH"
    World.Send "Attack2 South"
  Case "SOUTH"
    World.Send "Attack2 North"
  Case "WEST"
    World.Send "Attack2 East"
  Case "EAST"
    World.Send "Attack2 West"
  End Select

End Sub

I'm coding this off the top of my head as I don't have the client installed here at work, and the syntax may be off a tad. Hopefully it is enought to point you in the right direction.
