Param exclusions using a stringlist?
|
pattern:
| Code: |
| ({%%dbkeys({@gemlist})}) |
trigger:
| Code: |
| #var glist %additem( %1, @glist) |
Here is my problem:
@gemlist has :
amber
stone
bloodstone
stone is triggering off bloodstone. I tried the verbatim check mark in trigger but it didnt work.
Normally I would do something like stone{^bloodstone} but not sure how to make it work with the list. I dont even entirely understand how it works now, sometimes I have to switch the side to make it work. i.e. stone{^bloodstone} or {^bloodstone}stone.
Also, "chamber" causes amber to fire as well.
Thanks!

Is @gemlist a record variable or a stringlist? You seem to be describing it as a stringlist, but you wouldn't use %dbkeys on a stringlist. I think you need to tell us a bit more about what you are trying to do with this code. From what you say, I would guess that you need to modify your trigger pattern, but we don't have enough information to help you fix that. What lines from the mud is this supposed to fire on?

Umm, why use %dbkeys when you have simple String list?
| Code: |
<window name="untitled">
<uid>{189D4896-7EAC-4B2B-A43D-3D30FD973F19}</uid>
<packages>untitled</packages>
<var name="gemlist" type="StringList" id="1">stone|amber|bloodstone</var>
<trigger priority="20" id="2">
<pattern>%q({@gemlist})%q</pattern>
<value>#say Works.</value>
</trigger>
</window>
|
Above's the code I did in untitled session based on your info. Key for the pattern is to use "%q".
That is word boundary (I think that's how it's called?), which means that everything *inside* the string list will be captured
with this pattern, but not for instance when it's "bloodstoneofmotherofearth" instead of just "bloodstone".
Hopefully this made some sense. Still haven't had my morning coffee. |

Lets see...
@gemlist is a stringlist. I'm using %dbkeys because that was the only command i knew to trigger off a list :)
Basically what is happening is... I kill the mob, and it drops any number of items on the ground. I then "look" and turn my itemground trigger on. It then picks up every item from @gemlist and stores it into @glist.
At that point I pick the items up using a loop and alias...
| Code: |
| #loop %numitems(@glist) {itemtemp = %item(@glist, 1);stow %pop(@glist);#wait 1000} |
As for the simple string list... I have no idea what that is. But I'm very interested to know.
Also as for your code... i'm not sure exactly how to have CMUD do that. I mostly do everything through the default trigger window. But, I'm very good at looking at code and figuring out how it works(or at least applying it somewhere else).
So if you wanted to explain a bit about the code you posted, I would love to hear it :)
Hopefully this helped shed some light.
Here are some in game examples:
You search the faenrae reaver.
It carried some reinforced greaves, a battle axe.
You also find a small rock crystal, 2 bronze coins, 5 copper coins.
>look
[Silverwater Mines, Tunnel]
The floor of this bell-shaped room is smooth and level and so free of debris that it warrants suspicion. An arching roof of smooth rock flies up overhead, fading off into the cave's natural darkness. A pale greenish light from the north fills the cavern partially, becoming gradually watered down and consumed as it tries to reach south. You also see some copper coins, some bronze coins, a small rock crystal and some junk.
Obvious exits: north, southwest.
>stow coin
You pick up 5 copper Lirums.
>stow coin
You pick up 2 bronze Lirums.
>stow crystal
You pick up a small rock crystal.
You put your crystal in your shoulder tote.

%dbkeys() is used to convert the keys of a record variable into a stringlist. If you already have a stringlist, you don't need to do that.
What Progonoi was basically suggesting was to put %q before and after the capture to indicate the word boundary. The %q will match any punctuation, so adding that in will prevent it from matching longer words with those strings inside them. His code was just an example showing that it works. All you need to do is make your trigger pattern be:
You might still have problems if you have things like 'crystal' and 'super-crystal' in them, with a hyphen or other punctuation inside the word next to a word which is also a member of the stringlist. If you do, let us know. We can come up with a more complicated pattern to eliminate that problem too. |

Technically %q doesn't match punctuation, but it's what you want to use in this case. Rahab's pattern should be just what you need.

Awesome.
Yea, i borrowed my %dbkeys from an actual databse trigger list i was using. :P Hooray for not knowing exactly what I'm using!
%q sounds great. I'm going to plug it in asap.
But going for beers now. :)
Thanks guys. |

Hey!
%q %q is working great. I was hoping to refine exlusions even more.
You also see some copper coins, some bronze coins, a small star diopside and some junk.
You also see a pair of emerald earrings, some copper coins, some bronze coins and a wind hound.
Ok, so those are 2 examples of my patterns.
I have "emerald" in my string list to pick up. Yet, emerald is not a key for earrings. So basically I need it to ONLY trigger off a keyword that has a comma after it, or and.
A pair of emerald earrings, Should trigger earrings, and not emerald.
Should i just do something like...
| Code: |
| {%q({@gemlist})%q,|%q({@gemlist})%q and} |
Let me know what ya think :)
Edit: The above didn't work, i just tested it. Bummer :P |

You also want the possiblity of a period. Perhaps this:
| Code: |
%q({@gemlist}){,|.| and }
