Lua zs.trigger interface
|
Ok, I've set up a few aliases to Edit trigger patterns from LUA, and I'm not sure if this qualifies as a bug, a kink in scripting or what.
If you have an unnamed trigger, with pattern "test" and from LUA you change the pattern to "^test", the trigger gets named "test". Now I understand that this is because unnamed triggers have the name of the first 64 characters of the pattern, BUT if you edit that trigger from the package editor the trigger remains unnamed.
Now if this is how trigger pattern editing from LUA should behave, then to maintain trigger names, and lack there of, I believe that this is the code to prevent or correct this.
| Code: |
if (string.sub(trig.trigger,1,64) == string.sub(trig.name,1,64)) then
temp = ""
else
temp = trig.name
end
pat = trig.trigger
trig.trigger = newtriggpattern
if temp == "" then trig.name = string.sub(trig.trigger,1,64) else trig.name = temp end
|
This APPEARS to work correctly, but i'm not 100% confident in it yet. Setting the trigger name to nothing, and to the entire trigger pattern both.. sorta seemed to work.
I geuss my questions are:
1, Is this the correct & desired behavior of the zs.trigger (.trigger & .name properties) object?
2, If this is the correct behavior, does anyone see any potential problems using this approach to preventing trigger name change?
Thanks! |
