Hi,
Sorry, i have no clue how to do this.

I need a simple countdown timer , We have gladiator games, and we need a timer to count off the seconds till the Kill command. I use an alias in zmud ..countdown 30

in Zmud it looks like this:

alias: countdown *
Value:

#IF (%1) {count = %1} {count = 10}
#WHILE (@count > 0) {
chant @count
#WAIT 1000
#ADD count -1
}

I've tried , but don't know enough about mush to do this.
Any help for this please?
Thank you,
K.

Something like this will do it:


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="^countdown (\d+)$"
   enabled="y"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

require "wait"

wait.make (function ()

  for counter = 30, 1, -1 do
    Send ("chant " .. counter)  -- send message
    wait.time (1)  -- wait one second
  end -- for

end )  -- end coroutine

</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

wow..amazing ! thank you SO much!
i changed it just a bit,(counter=%1) and was trying to modify it for the end message, but couldn't figure out how to do that. I'd like to have a send command happen at the end of the countdown...Send("say Begin Fighting!"), but couldn't figure out how to put it in there...

Thank you very much for any help :)

Oh yes, oops. You were right.

As for the end message:


for counter = %1, 1, -1 do
  Send ("chant " .. counter) -- send message
  wait.time (1) -- wait one second
end -- for

Send ("say Begin Fighting!")

That's all there is to it.
