Targeting for Mushclient
I have found the mushclient help to be very comprehensive but not always easy to follow. I have written what I hope is an easy to follow guide for implementing targeting and some other triggers and aliases useful for grouping. Please let me know if you find this useful and if there is anything I can add or make clearer. A big thank you to my friends who patiently helped me test this out and who offered suggestions.
Targetting
The aim is to have an alias that changes automatically when the leader changes the target.
make 2 variables:
name : leader
contents: leave blank
name : target
contents: leave blank
Make 2 triggers
Trigger: @leader * ’target *'
Send: %2
Send to: Variable
At bottom of screen enter target in box Variable
Trigger:You now follow *.
Send: %1
Send to: Variable
At bottom of screen enter leader in box Variable
for both triggers:
Tick enabled, ignore case and expand variables in menu on left-hand side.
Aliases
make an alias, for example:
Alias: as
Send: assist @leader
Send To:World
or
Alias: cu
Send: cast ‘curse’ @target
Send To: World
Ensure that in the left-hand side menu Enabled and expand Variables are ticked
Ok Now when you follow a new leader any aliases with @leader are automatically updated with leaders name and any aliases with @target will automatically target the mob announced by the leader (and only the leader)
Other suggestions to make grouping easier
Make a trigger to respond to leaders order ‘all up’
Trigger: @leader – ‘all up’
Send: Wake
Stand
Make a variable ’tank’ for bigger groups when leader and tank are different and set up an alias to change the variable when leader announces who is the tank. Being a cleric I have also made aliases (and macros) to heal leader and tank.
Hope this is helpful
