Fun little bits of Lua. (mostly mudlet from me)

Kaedok

Hi folks, I remember the old boards having something like a "fun little bits of script" thread. I'm sorry if there's already one here I am missing, but I don't see it.

Today I decided it might be fun if my clantells came in with hyperlinks I could click on to send the appropriate "clan switch x" command so I can freely use CLT to respond to what I want to without having to think about it. Here's how (hint: click the steps):


(Step one): Create a begin of line substring trigger


(Step two): Create another trigger object, this one will contain all of your clans' full names as substrings


(Step three): The code in the aforementioned step isn't optimized just yet, but it works! Modify as needed to fit your clan setup

(Step four): What it should look like

Feel free to message me if you want help trying it out or if you're bored and get around to optimizing it before I do

Just wanted to drop a line to say I don't have any chat capture system or anything but the code still works like a charm.
Thanks for sharing this!

Since clans are awesome and if you join a new clan, the 'number' will change at random.. it might be best to do

local clans = {
["dark"] = "The Dark Carnival",
["steel"] = "the Scripture of Steel",
["cca"] = "Carnifex Combat Academy",
["research"] = "Research",
["mt"] = "The Midnight Tournaments",
["ps"] = "Phantom Society",
["kll"] = "Kelsys Labs Ltd",
["dars"] = "House Dar'sroth"
}

Instead of the numbers change it to the ALIAS when you do CLANS, so then you dont have to worry about switching them always, @

Right on Nalor, didn't realise you could use the short name of the clan for that syntax. That's much easier
