Basic Seer Settings for Zmud

This is a little something to help new Seers set up aliases, triggers, and a status bar to keep track of waxes and targets. After you initially set it up, when you target someone a wax will automatically be set for this person. You can change targets and change back and it will continue to build bonds on the wax specified for your target.

First open your settings up in Zmud.
Create a new variable (New -> New Variable).

Set the Name to target.
Leave the "default" and "value" blank.

Create another new variable, the same way you just did.

Set the Name to wax.
Again, leave the "default" and "value" blank.

Next, you're going to want to create a new alias (New -> New Alias).

Set the Name to t.
Make the Value the following:
#var target %1
~tt %1

Now when you type t <target>, this will set your the Zmud variable @target that you just created to whomever is your <target>. It will also change Avalon's internal target to whatever <target> is.

Next we need to create another new alias.

Set the Name to swax.
Make the Value the following:
#var w@target %1
#var wax {%1}
#trigger {%1} {#cw orange}

Once you have set a target, you will need to use this to set a designated wax for your target. Type swax <# of desired wax>. What Zmud is doing here is creating a new variable that will be whatever your target's name is with a w in front of it (signifying wax). Example: @sromago. It will also change the value of you @wax variable to be whatever the <# of desired wax> is. The trigger at the end will make the wax # display orange in Zmud, so that you know which waxes have been designated to a specific person and which have not been.

Now to get this all together and working, we need to create a new trigger (New -> New Trigger).

Set the Pattern to Target 1 set to: %1.
Make the Value:
#var wax @w%1

When you set your target and the internal target is set, Avalon will display the above pattern. The trigger will cause the @wax variable to change to whatever the value of your target's variable is; hopefully the value is a wax number.

Finally, to be fancy we can set up status bars to help display all the above information. So, we'll need to create a new status bar (New -> New Status Bar).

Set the Status Line to Target: @target
Leave "ID" and "Window" blank.

Create another new status bar.

Set the Status Line to Wax: @wax
Again, leave "ID" and "Window" blank.

You should now notice above your command line some text that says Target: and Wax:. Once you set a target and wax number, these will also be displayed in that area of text.

If you are more familiar with Zmud you can change the variable and alias names so that they make more sense to you. I figured mine are pretty self explanatory -- t for target, swax for set wax. Hope this makes sense and helps! If not, ask questions and I'll try to clarify...
