Tracking affects and duration in status window
|
I have added separate cmud classes for each MUD class that I play on a specific MUD. In those classes I have added statuses for affects I want to keep a track of that are shown in a status window. The end result is, the affects and their durations are displayed and the duration left is updated with every tick on the MUD. But what is lacking is an order to the list. The MUD displays affects with decending order of duration, with those about to expire at the bottom. My status window displays them in seemingly random order. Here are the details:
Example:
I check my affects on the mud and I see this
| Quote: |
You are affected by:
Commune: 'bless' modifies save vs spell by -14 for 59 hours.
Skill: 'detect hidden' for 20 hours.
|
I have a trigger for "You are affected by:" that does this to clear the database so I can capture the latest affects
| Code: |
#loopdb @affects {
#delkey affects %key
} |
Then I have a trigger to capture each of the affects:
| Code: |
| ^(Skill|Commune|Physical effect|Spell|Power):\s+\'(.*)\'.*for\s+(\d+)\s+hours\. |
Which does:
| Code: |
#var tmpaff %replace(%2," ","")
#addkey affects @tmpaff %3 |
I have a status window where all the statuses for the class are shown. Here is the code for the Bless status:
| Code: |
| %if(@affects.bless>=0,%ansi(high,green)Bless-@affects.bless,%ansi(high,red)Bless-Off) |
So if bless had worn off (i.e. I was not affected by it) it would show up in the status window as Bless-Off in red but as in the above example it would show up as Bless-59 in green.
Then I have some code that picks up the tick from the MUD and subtracts one hour (or more if I missed some ticks) from each affect duration.
Now, coming to the problem. The statuses show up in random order (or t least looks random to me) and I would like them to show up with the ones with the least time remaining at the bottom. That is also how the affects show up on the MUD when I check them. How can I make that happen.
Just to be clear, right now I see something like this in the status window:
DetectInvis-2
Bless-59
DetectHidden-Off
Invis-32
While I want it to be like this:
Bless-59
Invis-32
DetectInvis-2
DetectHidden-Off
Thanks in advance for any help with this. |
