This page allows you to define 3 "Yes"/"No" or "True"/"False" (boolean) fields in AutoTroll's Player database. These variables will show up on the Player's Configuration page and defaults page in the previous panel. What you type into these boxes is very important for e-mail configuration messages, including web-based CGI forms you use with AutoTroll.
AutoTroll will accept various e-mail commands from players to set / change various settings. In the three player variable boxes, you are defining the $VariableName that AutoTroll should look for to set these three flags.
For example, I have $ShareWare as my first variable. I can then have a web-based form (or a player could just send an e-mail message) with "$ShareWare : Yes" in the message body and the player's flag would be set. I could also use one of these to determine if the player is also a host, or could ask to see if the player is russian player and then define the variable name I want to use to set this (e.g., $Russian). The system is completely flexible, and lets you gather information about your players that is interesting/important to you as a host, and gives you the flexibility to name the variables as you see fit. The player will never know this is one of your "custom" variables in AutoTroll.
Remember, the variable name must begin with a '$' character, and must not contain any spaces. Also, don't be silly and set the name to some other recognized variable like $PlayerName. If you make an error in the syntax, AutoTroll will simply reset the variable to a default name.
Whichever names you decide on, to display the values of the variables in e-mail templates or on your web pages, you must use the [Player.UDef1], [Player.UDef2] and [Player.UDef3], and so on. It is up to you to ensure you are using [Player.UDef1] to be a $ShareWare in the above example.
Note:
AutoTroll will only accept a 'yes' or 'no' response to any of these player variables.
Note:
When you change the meanings to these variables, don't forget to change any *.atf files or web forms you have that use these variables!
