Variable Evaluation
|
Alright, I'm genuinely trying to figure this out on the switch between zMUD and CMUD, but really this is just killing me currently. If there's a help file that someone could point me to that explains better how CMUD evaluates expressions I'd be greatly appreciative, until then though, it's a question by agonizing question basis.
For reference, I'm an Imperian player, skill there called Vodun that essentially deals with Vodun dolls.
| Quote: |
"doll295094" a living vodun doll of Valena
|
Now, what I used to essentially do was,
| Code: |
#REGEX {^\"doll\d+\"(?:.+)a living vodun doll of \w+$} {
#class {Dollnumbers}
#var "doll"+%2
#class 0
}
|
And with that I would basically be able to create a system to store a bunch of different explicit numbers based off of the names associated with the dolls, but apparently CMUD handles variable storage from the expressions differently because all I'm currently receiving out of this is...
I'm having essentially the same program with an internal name coloration system I had in order to keep track of combatants and which sides they fought for,
| Code: |
#ALIAS {dmark} {
#class {Marked}
#trigger {%1} {#cw {azure,crimson,bold}}
#class 0
}
|
Usage: dmark Valena
Where it would create the individual trigger
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {Valena} {#cw {azure,crimson,bold}}
|
And instead all I receive now is
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {%1} {#cw {azure,crimson,bold}}
If someone could just explain to me how the evaluation system of this has all changed and maybe point me in the right direction for fixing this, I'd be immensely appreciative. |

I believe that the brackets around the %1 in your latter problem is what's giving you issues. I've not dealt heavily with scripts in CMud yet, but I'm pretty sure that's one of the changes detailed in the ZMud->Cmud migration guide which you might want to take a look over. The brackets in this case are basically telling the data not to be parsed as an expression, but to be sent verbatim to the client. Hence why you just get {%1} in your trigger.

#ALIAS {dmark} {
#class {Marked}
#trigger "" %1 {#cw {azure,crimson,bold}}
#class 0
} |
Seems to do what you are looking for here, but I'm not going to tell you it's the best way to do it. All I know is it seems to work properly.
Edit: You could optionally replace the "" above with something like: "Mark" and your triggers that are created would be labeled as "Mark: <name>" but still only parse on <name>. A bit of sorting simplicity if nothing else.
2nd edit: After reading through the help file for #alias, a better method of this would be:
| Code: |
#ALIAS dmark($target) {
#class {Marked}
#trigger "" $target {#cw {azure,crimson,bold}}
#class 0
} |
as it lets you better control what does what instead of trying to keep track of what %1, %2, %3, etc is all about. |

I don't see anything being captured in your original regex, which is likely the reason you are not getting the result you want. I would also suggest using a record variable.
| Code: |
#REGEX {^"(doll\d+)"\s+a living vodun doll of (\w+)$} {
#ADDKEY DollNumbers {%1} {%2}
#ADDKEY DollNumbers {%2} {%1}
} |
