Syntax

Variable names must start with a letter or underscore and may contain letters, numbers, and underscores.

Variable: target = orc
Command: kill {target}
Sent: kill orc

If a placeholder has no matching variable, PlayMUD.online leaves it unchanged. That makes missing variables visible instead of silently deleting important command text.

Where Variables Work

• Commands typed into the input box.
• Alias output commands.
• Trigger output commands.
• Hotkey commands.

Lua Values

Saved variables are edited in the Variables tab or assigned through vars.name in Lua. Temporary values such as HP, SP, and EP belong in the shared Lua state table, where status widgets can monitor them without saving the value to your profile.

vars.target = "orc"
send("kill " .. vars.target)

Lua function and table globals are kept inside the sandbox instead of becoming saved Variables. The Variables tab hides legacy function-looking values and summarizes table-like values as <table>.

See Lua Scripting.
