I'm looking for someone to teach me basic scripting and such in ZMud. I don't have a lot to give, being a novice, but if you could, it would REALLY help out. Thanks in advance!

Oh, message either Meihua or Kotaru ingame, thanks!

Triggers, an example:

Your state of paralysis prevents you from doing that.

You are paralysed, and can't move or do anything. How do you cure this? 'FOCUS BODY'

#TR {Your state of paralysis prevents you from doing that.} {focus body}

When you see 'Your state of paralysis prevents you from doing that.' you will AUTOMATICALLY 'FOCUS BODY'

that's the simplest explanation. The Help section of ZMud is great, just read it.

zMUD is my first ever scripting language, and I learnt most from just reading through the zMUD help files, starting with the "Introduction" files. Anything I got really stuck on I just asked on the Achaea.cjb.net forums.
I started in May this year or something, and now I know almost everything in zMUD scripting, and I'm not one of the people who spend all their time on their computer because I have school/annoying parents.

The help files are useful, but on their own they can be a little frustrating.

Using various commands and functions together is what makes scripting so powerful. In my early days with zMud, I often had an idea of what I wanted to do, but finding the right commands/functions was often time consuming and frustrating. Sometimes the command/function names are not what you might think they should be and sometimes commands/functions that seem to be what you want are not really suitable (#WAIT for instance).

The best thing you can do to learn how to script is to take a look at other peoples scripts. Make a list of all the functions/commands in there then look them up in the command/function reference and try to understand what each one is doing and why it is there.

Start with simple triggers and learn how to use variables and you will go a long way to creating some useful and effective zMud scripts. Experiment, experiment and experiment, and ALWAYS make backups.

I'm just now starting my system, and given my Imperian 'system' was only a raw collection of triggers, I'm doing much better now. Have writhing, paralysis, and sleep down pat, just need to do the rest of the afflictions (have messages/diagnoses for most of them).

I've been keeping an eye out for meihua for the past few days.. only to realize today that there is no meihua..

Yeah she Suicided. I forgot I had this topic.

Message Shisui if you want to help.
