Dear all,

As with the previous topic I have another need: the creation of two counters that will keep track of the number of positive and failed backstabs I've done.
This is needed because to grow in the skill I need to keep a 50:50 ratio.
In case it is positive I get a message like "you have come out of the darkness and hit XXXX on his neck
If negative it says: "you have come out of the darkness and missed XXXX"

Any ideas are welcome,

#TR {you have come out of the darkness and missed} {
$fail=(@backstab.fail+1)
#ADDKEY backstab Fail $fail
}

#TR {you have come out of the darkness and hit} {
$succeed=(@backstab.succeed+1)
#ADDKEY backstab Succeed $succeed
}

that should keep track of them in one database variable

Thanks for the prompt reply! It is really appriciated!
I created them as triggers right?

How can I retrieve the data? Thanks once again!

As you can see in shalimar's code, you can reference them with @backstab.fail and @backstab.succeed. You could use a simple alias like this to display your ratio:

Thanks a million, that really helped!

Can I still take advantage of your patience?
I'd like to set this counter also on the number of hits given and taken, but it becomes problematic when I have other people fighting in the room.

Is it possible to trigger an action when it sees a frase like this:

You hit XXX YYY ZZZ EEE with a LLLL and hurt him!

So basically masking different words in the phrase that could be the name of the victim, the race and the weapon used?

Thanks once again,

#TR {You hit (%w) (%w) with (%w) and hurt {him|her}!} {
$race=%1
$victim=%2
$weapon=%3
}

And so on, that assumes race and victim are one word each
