Alright I've been trying to make an auto-roller and im running into a few walls hopefully some of you more versed in Zmud's language can help me out.

The game input looks like this:

How do the stats appear to come across? Does it get received as if it is one line or two? Is it definitely a prompt? What do you currently have as your trigger or triggers?

The latter part of an #if is the else. #if (test) {then} {else}

Untested except with a couple of #show commands using the sample output above, but something along these lines should work. Just replace the roll stats part inside the startroll alias with whatever command is used to start the process of choosing your stats. This also assumes that if you answer 'N' at the prompt, the next set of stats is automatically generated in the same format. It currently checks all stats except charisma, but it is easy to change which stats are checked just by modifying the stringlists in the #forall loops in both triggers.

Testing it right now. If that really all works you're a god send and I was much farther away from figuring it out then I thought.

After a few posts here I had moved to a system with multiple triggers just for getting the information out of the prompts, and still couldn't figure out a way to chain the #if statements.

So would an "elseif" chain work then beyond the first set?

Once again thankyou very much for the help its much appreciated.

Edit: I'm giving it a try but it seems to be breaking, should it not turn off when you turn off triggers, usually when i'm doing this and I make a mistake turning off triggers and the screen continuing to scroll means that it was double-feedbacking (entering no more than once for a single prompt).

In case it helps the Mud in question is "The Final Challenge"

Maybe you can see what I mean. This mud has been particularly troublesome, I've had success with basic trigger systems in the past but the roller here seems to screw up triggers pretty easily.

I tested it out on the MUD and had the same problem. I got it to work just by removing the #forall loop in the trigger for the first line of stats and just doing all of the checking in a single #forall loop in the prompt trigger for the second line of stats. This new version checks all stats except charisma and dex since I was never able to get a roll that had everything except charisma AVG or higher. This one is more tailored to the MUD too... it automatically turns itself on at the right time during character creation.

Wow, that works perfectly.

Thankyou so much for your help, like I said above it looks like I was much farther from getting a working trigger set than I thought. You've saved me alot of time, hopefully I can look over your code and understand it should help me greatly in the future.

Oh and thanks for the information on nested If's, it must have been my data capture triggers that were the problem then when I tried to do that originally.

Thanks again!

EDIT: In case you were interested all AVG or above is possible, its just exceedingly rare (Like maybe you hit one in 5+ minutes of solid rolling) hence why I wanted a system to do it instead of the way I used to (Simple trigger that checked one stat and then I manually check the others).

Better than the MUD I used to play, where getting the max possible rollable stats once took me over 20 hours. Of course, it also once took me 8 seconds. Was VERY random.

Another thing you may want to do here, is assign number values to the vars instead of letter values, and then require a minimum value that would garner a better return.

You can do that with THIS code (I eliminated the numchecked since it isn't needed)

<--- Still hasn't truly learned REGEX ;) I just understand the basics. However, you've not got the additional functionality I added to the other guys post :D

I know this is an old thread but I tried the script that Ralgith posted and it seemed to work fine, then i tried the #regex script and it failed miserably,

so i deleted the session and made another, loaded the script from ralgith but it seems that the #regex has comprimised my entire cmud program not just that single session and now it wont even let me roll a character on my own on my mud!
