Look see this part? You: 425 damage to A purple tube worm [ 6% left ]? You have roundDamage and totalDamage. You said originally that you have a skill that you can see the total health of a creature. Well there you go. You can get all of what you want in that line with 3 variables and some math.

Now if you plan on tracking specifically the target of everyone around you and this stuff...well whatever I think that's kind of crazy. Why the heck you need damage done to you line I don't know. That's what your prompt shows does it not?

It does, I sort of don't need it. But the skill I have to see it is on another character so I have to store the values in a database. But what I mean is that there's no way for the current set up to see what damage goes where. It just knows there's damage, that's it.

Oh my god dude it's not hard. You set your TARGET into a variable right? Then you attack @TARGET right? So you can get health left by using the database of creature healths.

%db(@mobHealth, @target)

There you go that's how you find the creature health of the current target. Of course you can use whatever names you want.

heart wounds battle.

Also triggers it. I narrowed it down, it's wounds that triggers it because wounds is a damage type. It needs the other words seemingly to fill other roles but it's firing without an attack_type value (heart isn't an attack type), I have no clue what's going on.

Also triggers what, sorry?

Additionally, what IF you had a friend with you or were fighting multiple mobs? Having not seen an example of what that looks like, how can we answer that? Not that the answer will be difficult, unless you start AoEing multiple mobs of the same name.

I can AoE mobs of the same name, it's something to bring up but I suppose I should start simple. And sorry...

heart wounds battle. (18.5)

It takes it as a damage amount, but it's not at all :/

I know, I've stated that it's the pattern. It matches, but it shouldn't. And:

^(?>[[^]]*] )?(?>[\w'-]+ ){1,5}(?>(@attack_type) (?>does )?)?(@damage_type) (?>things to )?(?>a |the )?(?>[\w'-]+[ !.]){1,5}

is the pattern.

Yeah, that was my mistake. I changed the attack_type to be optional in another topic.

Huh? How... there's no... oh wait there is. I didn't even see that. *sighs*

Edit:

I even looked for it too, but didn't see the encapsulating parentheses.

Look Chamenas, if you are going to post questions, you at least need to test them beforehand.

What is this?

Well there you go.

The reason for that is simple, the damages I have are actually averages, they vary even among the individual damage types. So "=== OBLITERATES ===" is actually 76-100, and scratch is 1-4. Up until *** DEMOLISH *** it's all separated by 3, then it jumps. The final numbers have a variance of 24, so the averages have a lot of space between them.

I'm assigning a damage number because it's easier to think about than converting damage strings. I then use the numbers to determine color since I can use a range of numbers 1-10, 20-30, etc... as opposed to listing out each string and what color it would be. Quicker, more efficient and easier to look at. The number that's displayed at the end of the strings is just added there by my script and is not a game number. That's essentially what I'm using to figure out the damage total if you look at the script. I'm adding up round damage line by line based on the damage conversion number (same number used in the string) and then resetting it once I hit a line that I know signifies the end of a round.

First off, what MUD is this from? I assumed, but now I think I assumed wrong. And why wouldn't you just use a dbvar to assign color to each string... Seems much more effective to me personally, but then again, I don't really understand all the REGEX that your programming in anyways so it may not fit in with your code well that way. Im just simply suggesting cutting out the middle man, Your going from String to damnumber to color, Just go from string to color using a dbvar..

Dark and Shattered Lands, based on Diku MUD I think, similar to a lot of them. There's no middle man, it goes from:

String -> Number

and I want to base anything that needs numbers off of the number.

Atomic groups don't create backreferences. They just stop the engine from going back inside the group once the group has matched. You need to put brackets () around whatever you want to be referenced.

Your accumulator is still wrong, too. You have round_dmgu=@round_dmg2+$dmg when both variables should be round_dmgu for the accumulation to work.

So, this is odd:

Ah yes, silly me.

Oddly enough, it's still adding the other creature's damage to it:
