Help With #IF actions
|
I am trying to write a #IF command string that sometimes needs to give two reactions. When I use the normal line break ';' inside the trigger it spits out the line:
| Code: |
| work @Atk1;#alarm +6 {Working_2} |
..which the mud cannot use. Are there any solutions other than turning it into an alias to reference first?
| Code: |
| #If (@Perc >= 101) {~work @Fin1} {#If (@Perc <= 85) {~work @Atk2;#alarm +11 {Working_2}} {#If (@Perc > 85 AND @Perc <= 99) {~work @Atk1;#alarm +6 {Working_2}} {#If (@Perc = 100) {~work @Atk1;#alarm +6 {Working_2}}}}} |

The problem is where you are quoting the work command with ~. Removing the ~ or replacing with #send should solve your problem.

Wouldn't something like this be easier?
| Code: |
#switch (@Perc >=101) {
#sendraw {work @Fin1}
}
(@Perc > 85) {
#sendraw {work @Atk1}
#alarm +6 {Working_2}
}
(@Perc <=85) {
#sendraw {work @Atk2}
#alarm +11 {Working_2}
} |

That shouldn't be a problem. Ideally, he'd want to use #SENDRAW, and not #SEND because #SENDRAW will send it as the MUD command rather than an alias. ~work means to send [b]work[\b] without client alias interference, and has been used in many scripts before. |

I'm trying to find the section of the documentation that mentions the ~ syntax, if there is one. Can anyone else find it?
My vague recollection is that the ~ syntax is good for the command line, but not recommended for scripts. But I'm not at all certain about that. In any case, #SENDRAW is definitely the safest syntax for this situation. |

While using ~ shouldn't be a problem, it is when used to quote a word inside a #if statement with multiple commands separated by ;. Those are the results from my tests anyway. Also while #sendraw is 100% safe to use without causing other settings to fire, #send will work fine as long as there are no oninput triggers that have a pattern matching the text to be sent.

The ~ is just to escape the alias name, so it doesn't get into an infinite loop of alias calls. The problem is that it's not parsing anything after ~work, so it won't recognize the ; as being a command separator. If you want to use a ~ to escape the alias, rather than using the #send command, you can't have any other commands on the same line. Also, I don't think #sendraw will work like others are suggesting, I assume you want the @Atk variables to expand?
This code should do what you want:
| Code: |
#If (@Perc >= 101) {
~work @Fin1
} {
#If (@Perc <= 85) {
~work @Atk2
#alarm +11 {Working_2}
} {
#If (@Perc > 85 AND @Perc <= 99) {
~work @Atk1
#alarm +6 {Working_2}
} {
#If (@Perc = 100) {
~work @Atk1
#alarm +6 {Working_2}
}
}
}

Except the logic is wrong and you have two statements doing the absolute same thing. You should use #sendraw as well if you are sending something directly to the Mud.

It will work absolutely fine if you are coding properly. See my example above. |

Huh, just tested it, and apparently #sendraw does expand variables. I thought the whole point of it was to send stuff directly to the mud without doing stuff like that. In fact, the documentation says: "The text is not echoed or parsed in any way." So yeah, your code should work, and the documentation should probably be updated...
