Alias Entry Box

Trigger Keyword
The Trigger Keyword is the word or phrase MUD Mage seeks that will cause the execution of the command specified in the "Command on Sight" text box.

The Trigger Keyword may include ten wildcards (%%). When the MUD text that matches the Trigger Keyword is detected, MUD Mage stores values that would normally fill the wildcards in variables %0 through %9.

Command on Sight
In the text box, define the Command on Sight that will be executed when MUD Mage detects the Trigger Keyword's presence in text coming from the MUD.

The Command on Sight may include the wildcard variables %0 through %9.

Example of Using the Wildcard Variables
Trigger Keyword %% says '%%'
Command on Sight emote thinks %0 has said %1.
Sample MUD Text Jack says 'Hi!'
MUD Mage's Sample Response emote thinks Jack has said Hi!.


Activated Checkbox
If the Activated checkbox is checked, MUD Mage will watch for the Trigger Keyword and execute the Command on Sight when the keyword is found in text coming from the MUD. If the Activated checkbox is not checked, the current trigger is ignored. This checkbox is represented by an asterisk (*) in the Trigger List.
