The following information is output from the mud I want to know if/how

1st I can capture the information to be allowed to work with it?
2nd See if things are not there?

1. I get 2 or 3 lists like the following

1020h, 1020m e-
"witan115996": x2 A witan leaf. Prepared
"denallo116089": x2 Some denallo bark. Prepared
"kathkusa116114": x2 A kathkusa leaf. Prepared
"lestagii116116": x2 A lestagii berry. Prepared
"courgia116126": x1 Some courgia fluff. Prepared
"aldaka116131": x2 An aldaka root. Prepared
"siriena116132": x2 A siriena petal. Prepared
You hold, in your hands, 13 batches.

can I capture this into some variables eg @witan lets say to contain how many i am holding eg (x2)

also if something is missing eg here I am not seeing any eg (athillias)

Thanks hope thats sort of clear ?

I get this list by typing "herblist" and the capture should stop on "You hold, inyour hands, (%d) batches.

maybe found a problem

when i type herblist there is no actual trigger ?

by typing herblist I want it to start

The script above creates a trigger with the ID "herblist" and then uses the #T+ command to activate it before running the command. The trigger should exist but be disabled after entering Guinn's script above (you just need to paste it onto the command line).

ok i got this

in a Class folder called herblist

alias name herblist
alias value #T+ herblist {TRIGGER};herbs = "";~herblist

Var name herblist
Var value fred|bob|witan|denallo|kathkusa|lestagii|courgia|aldaka|siriena|athillias

Var name herbs
Var value

trig pattern You hold, in your hands, (%d) batches.
trig value herbtemp = @herblist;#LOOPDB @herbs {#DELITEM herbtemp %key};#SAY Missing Herbs: %expandlist( @herbtemp, ", ");#T- herblist {TRIGGER}

trig pattern ^~"%a~": x(%d) {A|An|Some} (%w) {leaf|bark|berry|fluff|root|petal}. Prepared$
trigvalue #addkey {herbs} {%2} {%1}

and then in no class I have

Var name herbtemp
var value fred|bob|witan|denallo|kathkusa|lestagii|courgia|aldaka|siriena|athillias

That's right. So what did you mean by there being "no actual trigger"?

Posted: Thu Dec 14, 2006 7:05 am

Sorry I first misunderstood when i read #T- herblist {TRIGGER} I thought it meant that I needed a trigger for herblist. That is not my problem my problem is with the above script I get the answer in post "I pasted it as you said" above?

ie all the herbs say they are missing when clearly they are not.

Looks like the pattern isn't matching. Change:
trig pattern ^~"%a~": x(%d) {A|An|Some} (%w) {leaf|bark|berry|fluff|root|petal}. Prepared$
to
trig pattern ^~"%w~": x(%d) {A|An|Some} (%w) {leaf|bark|berry|fluff|root|petal}. Prepared$

Changing %a to %w wouldn't help Vij, since the pattern is abc123 then %w wouldn't match - needs to be alphanumeric %a

The problem looks like the trigger isn't being enabled properly. I've just removed the lines that disable it so it'll always fire. Also, I moved the herbtemp variable inside the class to keep things tidy.

ok calmed down ;)

when i looked at this in editor it says there is a syntax error at the {#delitem
under the # if i remove that it then jumps tp ;#say again under the # in the following pattern created by pasting the above

trig You hold, in your hands, (%d) batches.
pattern herbtemp = fred|bob|witan|denallo|kathkusa|lestagii|courgia|aldaka|siriena|athillias;#LOOPDB {#DELITEM herbtemp %{key}};#SAY Missing Herbs:

not sure if that tells you anything but seems thats where the problem is

thanks

seems to say that an "argument expected" at the {#DELITEM

it points to the # if i alter then it jumps to the #say also

tried to alter it with a load of stuff but nothing happening all other script lines seem to be accepted

thanks as always

Hmm, not sure what to say. It works fine for me. To be sure, I deleted all the settings reopened zMUD, hit escape at the character select to go to the untitled session, then pasted in the code from my last post, checked the settings editor, where everything was properly created with no syntax errors.

Then I pasted in the bit of text to test with and it populated the variables correctly and came back with the same result as before.
Even tried it in the public release of CMUD and it works fine there too.

Have you tried the script with a new .mud file yet, or when using the offline untitled one (where you hit escape on the char select screen in zmud)
If so, could you post a screenshot of the trigger that's having syntax errors.

Cheers

Odd, I don't know why the trigger doesn't have the right value associated.
Replace what's in that trigger action with

herbtemp = @herblist
#LOOPDB @herbs {#DELITEM herbtemp %key}
#SAY Missing Herbs: %expandlist( @herbtemp, ", ")

Nope is this right (just checking through as much as i can

if it is what does it do - trying to learn this?

abc herblist
value herbs = "";~herblist

Wizard Joined: 03 Mar 2001 Posts: 1127 Location: London

the 'abc' icons are aliases

herbs = "";~herblist

is two commands
first one: herbs = ""
which is just making the value of the herbs variable empty

second one: ~herblist
which sends the command herblist to the game
you have to put ~ before it otherwise it'll call itself (since the alias is also called herblist) and enter an infinite loop

Don't worry about the alias though, that's working fine. It's the highlighted trigger that's causing the problem.

Ahh, I know what's gone wrong... it's a setting inside preferences that's messing up how the scripts are entered on the command line.

Okay, the fix is...
View -> Preferences -> General
Then select 'Script Parser' and uncheck 'Expand Vars'

Click okay, then try pasting in the script again

The problem was that when variables were being expanded on the command line then the line
herbtemp = @herblist

was messing up, because herblist was bob|fred|...
and that was messing up the syntax

Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2006 4:47 pm

would love to say it fixed it but unfortunately it didnt

my settings where the same as yours

it seems the herb variable is getting nothing in it at all when i run the script

Wizard Joined: 03 Mar 2001 Posts: 1127 Location: London

So when you correct the value of the trigger it still doesn't work?

If not I'm out of ideas I'm afraid. The script works. It's a setting somewhere in zMUD that's expanding variables.
