Trying to compare a string list variable
|
Very first post, so apologies in advance.
I am trying to make sure that I have all my skills/spells up on my main character before I start a fight. I'm using #If (%null(aflist)) as my basis. The @aflist variable contains skills for my character that is populated by wear-off messages using #additem. I'm checking this list after every mob fight. I'm banging my head against the wall and i'm sure there's an easier way to do it
| Code: |
| #if {%null(@aflist)} {aff} {#SHOW %pop(aflist)} |

That seems like a simple enough line of code. What is the problem with it? What shortcomings do you want to fix? You may need to explain in more detail what you want.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I had this line working just fine but in 2 different places to do a couple different things. I commented them out because one of them wasn't working, and now neither of them do. What I'm after is killing a mob, then pausing to check the skills that wore off, then recasting them, then continuing on to the next mob.

I also don't know if version matters, but it's CMUD 2.37. I'm not seeing %null in the list of things associated with string lists.... maybe it's any string in that list is why it works?

Ok, fixed that problem... mostly because I forgot to fix the special characters under the scrpting tag..... Now to see if i can fix it. I had the % symbol unchecked for the parameter... *bonks self*

So now my exits trigger is broken, which seems to happen every time i tinker with it. So here's what I have:
| Code: |
#TR {~[Exits:(*)~]}
{mobEnemy="";#t+ MatchEnemy;
#var exits {%replace(%1, " ", "|")};
#alarm {+.5} {hunt}} |
And the value i keep getting in my @mobEnemy variable is %1... |

and also,
| Code: |
| #TR {*({@rkList})*} {#var mobenemy{%1} #t- MatchEnemy} |

This piece of code is clearly broken. What value are you trying to assign here? I assume there should be a semicolon before the #t-?
| Code: |
| #TR {*({@rkList})*} {#var mobenemy{%1} #t- MatchEnemy} |
In the trigger value, you don't need the * at the beginning and end, either.
I suspect that this is the code you want, but I'm not certain that I'm interpreting what you are trying to do here:
| Code: |
| #TR {({@rkList})} {#var mobenemy %1; #t- MatchEnemy} |
|

I've noticed in the last few posts that %replace continues to be used to change a string to a string list. While this is quite viable, I don't believe is as efficient as using the %list function.
So..
| Code: |
#VAR exits {%replace( %1, " ", "|")}
|
would be better represented this way, imo
| Code: |
#VAR exits {%list( %1, " ")}
|

Unfortunately, qball989 can't use %list() because that was only introduced in v3.18, and he is on v2.37. But you're right, %list is probably a more robust method for those of us on 3.xx, and less likely to run into problems in future upgrades. I keep forgetting about %list because I've been using the %replace trick for so long; I suspect that's true of others, too.

%list() is limited to only one-character substitutions for the delimiter. %list("string",", ") fails to do anything, for example. I think it also has problems with certain characters like commas.

Yes, it is. But the usage that I've observed, #VAR x %replace($list," ","|"), is quite manageable by %list. Commas offer no challenge to the function, as far as I know.

Rahab thanks for the help editing my code, greatly appreciated. The braces around the %1 were messing it up. And thanks for the input / info on list in future versions :)
