I'm looking for a way to look at a variable, and see if somewhere int he variable it contains a certain string. For example:

Script to trigger on:

|wielded| a strong-arms club

Trigger:

#trig {~|wielded~| (*)} {#VAR yougotsomeweapon %-1;#ECHO @yougotsomeweapon}

For some reason, I can't get the whole weapon string in. It only captains the "a"...

But, the main things is: How do I do this:

#if %contains(@yougotsomeweapon, club) {#var thisisyourweapon club}

Does that make sense? I want it to trigger off my wielded weapon, and then put it in a variable. If i don't need to create the @yougotsomeweapon to check, then maybe only needs to be one step.. like:

#trig {~|wielded~| (*)} {#if %contains(%1, club) {#var thisisyourweapon club} }}

note. this is all freehand and not actual scripts.. Just for random example.

Thanks!

%pos("club", %1)

Thanks for posting. But that's not really what i'm looking for. For example.

Mud output:

|wielded| a strong-arms club

Trigger:

Variable Contains Script

I'm looking for a way to look at a variable, and see if somewhere int he variable it contains a certain string. For example:

Script to trigger on:

|wielded| a strong-arms club

Trigger:

#trig {~|wielded~| (*)} {#var yougotsomeweapon %1
#if %contains {@yougotsomeweapon, dagger} {#var wieldedweapon dagger}
#if %contains {@yougotsomeweapon, sword} {#var wieldedweapon sword}
#if %contains {@yougotsomeweapon, mace} {#var wieldedweapon mace}
#if %contains {@yougotsomeweapon, axe} {#var wieldedweapon axe}

That way I don't have to manually set my wielded weapon.

Does that make sense?

Thanks guys for piping in.

I've never used the %pos command before. Can you give me a quick rundown of it? Or rather, just confirm if my understanding is correct.. Usually it's what position is *blah* in @blah. So, using it in the way you did just checks to see if *blah* is anywhere in @blah?

If so, that's genius. Another question:

Why do you have ({dagger|sword|mace|axe}) inside brackets and parenthesis?

Thanks!

In my initial post when I first suggested it, I included a link to the documentation on %pos. But yes, it works exactly like what you were describing. It's just called %pos, not %contains.

"Why do you have ({dagger|sword|mace|axe}) inside brackets and parenthesis?"

The braces denote a list, so that trigger pattern will match any of those words. The parentheses create a capture group, so the match can then be referenced as %1, %2, etc (same as your "(*)").

That is exactly what I needed to learn! You guys were both a great help! It's working swimmingly now!
