Hey there.

I'm currently playing a mud that has cooldowns for certain actions.

Upon performing said action, it tells you how long the cooldown will be, however it does not notify you when the cooldown has cooled down, heh.

What I'd like is a trigger to pick up on the cooldown line, for example "* second cooldown!", and after 30 seconds to send the word "done" to my output.

So something similar to DoAfter(%1, "done"), except send the "done" to output instead of world.

Is it possible?

Thanks.

You want DoAfterSpecial.

Template:function=DoAfterSpecial DoAfterSpecial

The documentation for the DoAfterSpecial script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.



That lets you send to the output window, amongst other things.

For example:


DoAfterSpecial (10, "Done!", sendto.output)
