EQ Database question
|
Well, last night I decided I was going to go ahead and make an eq database script. I did some reading on here, found it to be pretty simple..
I'm only having one issue...and it's really a pretty stupid issue to have. The way my mud outputs lore data affects and perms are on their own lines:
For example..
Affects damage roll by 2, level 85.
Affects hit roll by 2, level 85.
Permanent spell protection evil.
Permanent spell protection good.
My triggers are as follows:
#TRIGGER {^Affects %1, level *.} {#var eqaffects %additem(%1,@eqaffects)} "Database"
#TRIGGER {^Permanent spell %1.} {#var eqperm %additem(%1,@eqperm)} "Database"
All I get is the last affect in the list, instead of showing all affects. Any help I could get would be wonderful. |

I'm not sure whether this is your problem, but you are using incorrect syntax in your triggers. It should be:
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {^Affects (*), level *.} {#var eqaffects %additem(%1,@eqaffects)} "Database"
#TRIGGER {^Permanent spell (*).} {#var eqperm %additem(%1,@eqperm)} "Database"
|
You do not use %1, %2, etc. in the trigger pattern. Zmud permitted that syntax, but it was incorrect even then. The proper syntax is to put pattern-matching codes inside parentheses, (). The first set of parentheses will become %1 within the trigger value, the second set will become %2, etc. An asterisk matches anything. You could use other things like %w to match a single word, %d to match a number, etc. Try fixing that. I'm not sure if that is your problem, but it's the first thing to fix. |

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to be the issue in this case.
When I check the variable , I can see it's recording correctly. It's coming out as "protection evil|protection good" which is acceptable. But when I write to the db, I'm only getting "protection evil" it seems the " | " is causing a problem.
Edit: I figured it out, thanks for the help!  |
