Question Creating a Listen trigger

Hello there!
Long time mudder, brand new builder. Hopefully this is even the right section to post this in, if not please forgive me.

I'm looking to create just a basic trigger where a player would command 'listen mob' and the mob will 'say x'

I appreciate the help, in advance!

Log on to tbamud, and run tstat 25. That should help you out

You're the best, thanks so much!

It didnt.. cant really grasp this. Ive had 0 problems with all the other stuff but triggers seems impossible to me.



1) Name : Groundskeeper listen
2) Intended for : Mobiles
3) Trigger types: Command
4) Numeric Arg : 100
5) Arguments : l
6) Commands:
if %cmd.mudcommand% == listen && groundskeeper /= %arg%
%send% %actor% The groundskeeper beckons you closer to tell his story.....
%echoround% %actor% %actor.name% starts talking to the groundskeeper.
else
* If it doesn't match let the command continue.
return 0
end


what is wrong?

My bad - %cmd.mudcommand% will only return something interesting (anything, really) if the command actually exists in the command list. And, unless you've added listen as a command, this won't work.

An alternative could be to set the argument to "liste" (ie. one letter more than "list", which is already a command) and then dispense with the "%cmd.mudcommand% == listen &&" part.

Thanks so much Thomas i will look into that!!!

Here's something else you may be able to help me with

Im trying to hide containers in a room, that either load weapons/treasure/etc. But i want the player to get the clue from the room description itself - not see the container laying on the floor.

Is there a way to make the container invisible to players? not the spell invis, like, actually invis!

thanks! heh
