I would like use one scripts with another script (sub-script). The problem is that the sub-script has a menu in it. I would like to automatically send the menu commands to the sub-script from the first script. Is there a way to do this and/or are there any plans on making changes to TWX so that it can be done?

I have found that you might be able to do this by running one TWX looking at Second TWX.
Ex. Client(Swath) > TWX > TWX > GameServer
The first TWX would reply to the script running in the second TWX. I have not tried this but I would rather not do it this way if I don’t have too.

Thanks,

The burden is on the script writer to specify the type of input their script requires, and twx will not be altered to circumvent their design. If they chose to implement a menu with no way to bypass it, then you will have to do one of the following: 1. Input the selections by hand 2. Modify the script 3. Get the author to modify the script 4. Use a solution like you outlined, with two instances of twx. +EP+

If so and you want to keep it intact, you can use a timer to detect that it is being called, and then set the default values you want if the timer is activated. I use this method for my ztm script - no user input in 5 seconds, run the default values.

There's a simpler way. You can modify script #2 to check for the data in a file. If it finds the file and the data, it runs with those parameters. If not, you can have it display the menu. When the script completes the auto run, it clears the data in the external file. The only tedious part would be modifying the scripts in question to first check for data and run with it, then clear it when finished and the modification of the original script to write the data to the file and call the script in question. EDIT: I believe you can have a simple textline trigger that script #1 will recognize and that script #2 will display to indicate passing control back to script #1. Angoth

Code: #Script1: Redirects key inputs: P, O so Script 2 can capture them :TOP setTextOutTrigger go :go pause :go getOutText $out uppercase $out if ($out = "P") processout "(" elseif ($out = "O") processout ")" else processout $out end Goto :TOP Code: :Top #Script2: This is the so called 'Menu' setTextOutTrigger go2 :go2 "(" setTextOutTrigger go3 :go3 ")" pause :go2 killalltriggers send "#" goto :TOP :go3 killalltriggers send "\" goto :TOP Setting TWX1 to any TWGS Server, listening on Port 23, and then TWX2 to server 127.0.0.1, port 23 (listening on port 24, for example).. will work.

Thanks for the replys. I am lucky that Rammer finally provided his source code. I was going to start working on his TSDT. As may have experienced, it is sometimes hard to get your corpies online at the same time to get this thing started. It would be easier to bot them with the startup settings. I will probably do a combination of all of the suggested. Make a default setting file and put a pause in the menu so that you can use it as it was designed, and since I will probably use something like MOMBot to call it, import the $Parms if they are there. The reason that I asked is because I wanted to know if there was a easier way. Maybe a way to use one script that would input for all types of menu prompts. The only way that I see of doing it is if you do it like LoneStar and EP said, having two instances of TWX running. The problem with this is getting all of your corpies set up properly.
