Zugg Software :: View topic - Need help with #Switch in DragonRealms (SOLVED)

I am trying to create a switch command to cast a spell on a rotating basis. It will trigger everytime CMUD see's the words "you also see". The variable Spellnum has already been created and set to 1 from a different trigger. I have checked that trigger and it is working properly. My assumption for it not working is that I am tryiing to make it do too much OR I've missed some minor syntex. Below you will find my commands exactly as I have them in my script starting with #show.

#Show is just to help me debug the Switch command to make sure it is assigning a new number to my variable Spellnum. What I am trying to do is that whenever the switch command triggers it looks at the number in the Spellnum variable, executes that command (which is preparing a spell at 15 mana) THEN assigne a new number to the variable Spellnum. Then the command should wait 2 seconds and then execute the game command Parry.

Some problems may be that I am an old man with failing eyesight and can't distinguish between paratheisis and braces.
I need to put the ; symbol after the braces at the end of each line.
Switch can only execute one command per line not two commands per line (I do know that once switch finds a match for the variable it executes those commands and doesn't look for any other matches

Trigger = "you also see

#show @Spellnum;
#Switch(@Spellnum=1){Prepare sw 15;#variable Spellnum = 2}
(@Spellnum=2){Prepare es 15;#variable Spellnum = 3}
{@Spellnum=3}{Prepare suf 15;#variable Spellnum = 4}
{@Spellnum=4}{Prepare ala 15;target troll;#variable = 1}

#wait 2000;parry;

When I run the trigger I get the following error message:

ERROR: Trigger "you also see " fired but did not compile

Any help, hints suggestions, comments or funny limericks would be appreciated

I think you need to remove the quote marks (") at the beginning of the pattern.

You need spaces between the parameters in the #SWITCH command.

(@Spellnum=3) and (@Spellnum=4) should have parentheses around them, not curly braces.

If you use the #VARIABLE command, you don't need the equal sign; again, you should use spaces between the parameters.

You forgot to specify the Spellnum variable in the 4th line of the #Switch command.

If you use carriage returns to separate commands, you don't need the semicolon (;) at the end.

If you use multiple lines in commands like #SWITCH, you need to indent the 2nd and following lines with 2 spaces. This is stated in the online documentation for the #SWITCH command.

This alternative syntax might be easier to read:

Thanks guys. That solved the problem. I can't believe that for all the times I stared at that problem I didn't realised that I had forgotten to include the Variable name for my 4 line.

I cut and pasted your condensed version Daern and it works like a charm. Thank you for your help
