Okay, I'm getting pretty good at scripting, but never tried any DB stuff. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a database that would record whatever I killed and how many I have killed to date? Something like:

A castle Soldier: 1
A mean Dwarf: 1
A Valley Elf: 1

and etc. It would need to introduce a new name if that mob was not named there. The text i get when i kill a mob is:

You have killed A valley Elf!
You receive 20,000 Exp!

how about logging everything and just using 'grep' or something similar ,)

If you have a variable called @KillList, then the trigger is as follows:

#TRIGGER {^You have killed (*)} {#IF (%ismember("%1", @KillList)) {#LOOPDB @KillList {#IF ("%key" = "%1") {%val = %eval(%val + 1)}}} {#ADDKEY @KillList "%1" 1}}

To see what's in it, you can do something like:
#LOOPDB @KillList {#SAY %key: %val}

A faster method would be:




#TR {You have killed (*)!} {


   #IF %iskey(@KillList, "%1") {


      #ADDKEY KillList "%1" %eval(%db(@KillList, "%1")+1)


      } {


      #ADDKEY KillList "%1" 1


      }


   }

Okay, and how do I view all this newfound information? =) The trigger captures all the information...

For both Troubadour's trigger and my own that would be:

#LOOPDB @KillList {#SAY %key: %val}

A nifty speed menu item to check your kills of one particular mob is:




#MENU {Kill Count} {


   #IF %null(%selected) {


      #SAY Please highlight the full name of the mob.


      } {


      #IF %iskey(@KillList, %selected) {


         #SAY You have %db(@KillList, %selected) kills of %selected~.


         } {


         #SAY You have no kills of %selected~.


         }


      }


   }

Highlight the name of the mob anywhere in the MUD output, then right-click. Select "Kill Count" in the pop-up menu.

Okay, I have no idea how to do this... *sigh* sometimes my MUD sends a > character. Here's a quick example of what I mean.

> smile
You smile
>

So, after it responds to the command, it sends a > character. In theory to line up your commands. But, if you type a command just before the mob dies, you get:

> punch mob
You punch a mob!
> mob dies

In this case, the above mentioned kill logger will register "> mob" as a kill. Is there anyway to get rid of this?

Use the %replace function to strip out the offending characters:

#ADDKEY KillList %replace("%1", "> ", "") %eval(%db(@KillList, %replace("%1", "> ", ""))+1)

#ADDKEY KillList %replace("%1", "> ", "") 1

So it would look like this in it's complete form?

#TR {You have killed (*)!} {#IF %iskey(@KillList, "%1")
{#ADDKEY KillList %replace("%1", "> ", "") %eval(%db(@KillList, %replace("%1", "> ", ""))+1)}
{#ADDKEY KillList %replace("%1", "> ", "") 1}}
