One prompt to rule them all! (multi windows)
 
Hi, I have the below in a .pkg all characters can see. If I separate each one "Sutex" "Halix" "Zarlix" into their own windows/pkg it works.
But trying to see if its possible to have an "all in one"

This is my effort so far. Tab lost with the correct syntax, how to get it to read the prompt and associated it with the name of the window, either "Sutex" "Halix" "Zarlix"
I have a group trigger that captures all the max values and names which is placed into a variable database, that's the @Sutex.maxhp you see and that works great.

This is the prompt trigger that is always displayed (%d)hp (%d)m (%d)mv > the below code is set too.
Code:

#IF (%window = "Sutex") {Sutex.hp = %1;Sutex.maxhp = %2;Sutex.ma = %3;Sutex.maxma = %4}
#VAR @heal_member "Sutex"
#math hp_difference (@Sutex.hp - @Sutex.maxhp)
#math hp_percentage (@Sutex.hp*100/@Sutex.maxhp)
#if @shp_difference<@stemp_hp {temp_hp=@shp_difference
#if @shp_percentage<@stemp_percentage {stemp_percentage=@shp_percentage
#if @shp_percentage<21 {#math shp_difference (@Sutex.maxhp-@Sutex.hp)
#VAR @heal_member "Sutex"
#SAY {"Health"%ansi( bold, white)~[ %ansi( bold, green)-@shp_difference %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, cyan)@heal_member is %ansi( bold, blink, red)dying %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, blink, red)@shp_percentage %ansi( bold, green)~% %ansi( bold, white)~]}

So it is the same code but for different chars.

Why not SWITCH?

("sutek") {$char="sutek";set more sutek stuff}
("halix") {$char="halix"; set more halix stuff}
("zartix") {$char="zartix" set more zartix stuff}

do $char
show ${char}vars
${char}hp=%1
${char}mn=%2
${char}mv=%3

etc

Why SAY and not WIN?

Plus, it is likely that if you don't qualify the hp mn mv vars at the top you are probably creating issues.
If you try

class/hp=value
class/mn=value
class/mv=value

...and you can SWITCH the hp_precentage also
#LOCAL $hurt_text
SWITCH (@hp_pct)
(@hp_pct<=20) {$hurt_text="dying"}
(@hp_pct<=60) {$hurt_text="hurting"}
(@hp_pct<=90) {$hurt_text="wounded"}
etc

#SAY "WHAT!"@heal_member "is" $hurt_text

I am guessing you can also do {$hurt_text=%ansi(blah,blah)}

also, and I think Shalimar would agree.

use ()'s in your #IF's
#if (@hp_difference<@temp_hp) {temp_hp=@hp_difference

#MATH can be removed entirely
hp_difference = (@Sutex.hp - @Sutex.maxhp)

No need for a switch when you have %window (named for the char) available.

All the stuff that needs to be exclusive to the character can be shunted off like so:

#EXECWIN %window {
#ADDKEY %window hp %1
#ADDKEY %window ma %2
#ADDKEY %window mv %3
hp_difference=(%db(@{%window},hp) - %db(@{%window},maxhp))
}

Ok I can understand that more or less, @hpoonis2010 the Switch never new about it in Cmud, takes me back to C++ and I was really bad at that too :)

With the editor in CMUD this complied fired got output to the screen

Code:

#IF (%window = "Sutex") {
  Sutex.hp = %1
  Sutex.maxhp = %2
  Sutex.ma = %3
  Sutex.maxma = %4
  }
#EXECWIN %window {"Sutex"}
#ADDKEY %window hp %1
#ADDKEY %window ma %2
#ADDKEY %window mv %3
hp_difference=(%db( @{%window}, hp) - %db( @{%window}, maxhp))
#VAR @heal_member "Sutex"
#math hp_percentage (@Sutex.hp*100/@Sutex.maxhp)
#if @hp_percentage<21
#VAR @heal_member "Sutex"
#SAY {"Health"%ansi( bold, white)~[ %ansi( bold, green)-@hp_difference %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, cyan)@heal_member is %ansi( bold, blink, red)dying %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, blink, red)@hp_percentage %ansi( bold, green)~% %ansi( bold, white)~]}

This is trigger is in a 'Everyone.pkg' Everyone can see. So I just have to add the same code for each other Character (changing the names) underneath Sutex above?

I'm using #VAR @heal_member "Sutex" as to pull the names either Sutex Halix or Zarlix out of the variable DB requires the %ismember correct?

And the variable each one uses stays within their windows/.pkg?

I have a variable DB for each Charterer which holds all the values need generated by the Group command and trigger. "Sutex.maxhp"

Been a few years since Ive dusted of Cmud just running it past you all.

Cant get it to stop looping and the values don't work, not working as intended I need to add %ismember to pull the correct Name out of the @heal_member too.

This fires on the normal prompt, suppose too, if! hurt dying etc.

#IF (%window = "Sutex") {
Sutex.hp = %1
Sutex.maxhp = %2
Sutex.ma = %3
Sutex.maxma = %4
}
#EXECWIN %window {"Sutex"}
#ADDKEY %window hp %1
#ADDKEY %window ma %2
#ADDKEY %window mv %3

hp_percentage (@Sutex.hp*100/@Sutex.maxhp)
#VAR heal_member Sutex
#IF (@hp_percentage<21) {
hp_difference=(%db( @{%window}, Sutex.hp) - %db( @{%window}, Sutex.maxhp))
#SAY {"Health Difference" %ansi( bold, white)~[ %ansi( bold, green)-@hp_difference %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, cyan)@heal_member is %ansi( bold, blink, red)dying %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, blink, red)@hp_percentage %ansi( bold, green)~% %ansi( bold, white)~]}
#abort 1}

#if (@hp_percentage<41) {
hp_difference=(%db( @{%window}, Sutex.hp) - %db( @{%window}, Sutex.maxhp))
#SAY {"Health Difference" %ansi( bold, white)~[ %ansi( bold, green)-@hp_difference %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, cyan)@heal_member is %ansi( bold, red)hurting %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, blink, red)@hp_percentage%ansi( bold, green)~% %ansi( bold, white)~]}
#abort 1}

#if (@hp_percentage<61) {
hp_difference=(%db( @{%window}, Sutex.hp) - %db( @{%window}, Sutex.maxhp))
#SAY {"Health Difference" %ansi( bold, white)~[ %ansi( bold, green)-@hp_difference %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, cyan)@heal_member is %ansi( bold, blue)wounded %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, blink, red)@hp_percentage %ansi( bold, green)~% %ansi( bold, white)~]}
#abort 1}

#if (@hp_percentage<81) {
hp_difference=(%db( @{%window}, Sutex.hp) - %db( @{%window}, Sutex.maxhp))
#SAY {"Health Difference" %ansi( bold, white)~[ %ansi( bold, green)-@hp_difference %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, cyan)@heal_member is %ansi( bold, blue)small wounds %ansi( bold, white)~| %ansi( bold, blink, red)@hp_percentage %ansi( bold, green)~% %ansi( bold, white)~]}
#abort 1}


This is my Group trigger which get all the high values puts then in a data base 'Everyone can see'

#IF (%10 = "Sutex") {Sutex.hp = %1;Sutex.maxhp = %2;Sutex.ma = %3;Sutex.maxma = %4}
#IF (%10 = "Halix") {Halix.hp = %1;Halix.maxhp = %2;Halix.ma = %3;Halix.maxma = %4}
#IF (%10 = "Zarlix") {Zarlix.hp = %1;Zarlix.maxhp = %2;Zarlix.ma = %3;Zarlix.maxma = %4}
#IF (%10 = "Karlix") {Karlix.hp = %1;Karlix.maxhp = %2;Karlix.ma = %3;Karlix.maxma = %4}

You aren't doing it like in my example.

You abbreviated it to:

#EXECWIN %window {"Sutex"}

Yet %window is already Sutex (or one of the other char names) so unless you have a self-named alias, this does nothing.

--------------

In the same vein
%db( @{%window}, Sutex.hp)
should be
%db( @{%window}, hp)
because %window -IS- Sutex, you are trying to reference an @sutex.sutex.hp

---------------

Moving on to your group example, since you want everyone to have access to the data... move all the individual member data into a collective of group data.

$member=%db(@groupStats, %10)
#ADDKEY $member hp %1
#ADDKEY $member maxHp %2
#ADDKEY $member ma %3
#ADDKEY $member maxMa %4
#ADDKEY groupStats %10 $member

The only drawback of putting this data into a database is that gauges do not update properly. Gauges really like stand-alone variables.

Will read through more carefully what your suggesting thanks. below is to clarify my set up

.......................

My group trigger is in the 'Everyone can see' it controls updates my status buttons health mana, with their Max levels

~[{%s|}(%d)~/(%d){%s|}~]~[{%s|}(%d)~/(%d){%s|}~]~[{%s|}(%d)~/(%d){%s|}~] ~[{%s|}(%n)~] ~[{%s|}(%d)~] ~[{%s|}(%d) %w~] (%w)

#IF (%10 = "Sutex") {Sutex.hp = %1;Sutex.maxhp = %2;Sutex.ma = %3;Sutex.maxma = %4}
#IF (%10 = "Halix") {Halix.hp = %1;Halix.maxhp = %2;Halix.ma = %3;Halix.maxma = %4}
#IF (%10 = "Zarlix") {Zarlix.hp = %1;Zarlix.maxhp = %2;Zarlix.ma = %3;Zarlix.maxma = %4}
#IF (%10 = "Karlix") {Karlix.hp = %1;Karlix.maxhp = %2;Karlix.ma = %3;Karlix.maxma = %4}

The above trigger. Sets up a data based Variables Sutex, Halix, Zarlix, Karlix, in the 'Everyone.pkg.


Then My prompt displayed (%d)hp (%d)m (%d)mv > is in each Charterers .pkg * not shared*, and uses the HP and ma, *current vaules* for my buttons health mana bars on my status bar

All this works really well.

The trigger defining the variables could/should be in the shared package.
Just don't put variables you expect to update in a shared package, or everyone is trying to overwrite the shared data instead of making local data.
New variables are always defined in the root directory of the local session/window.

Is the above meant to be in Everyone.pkg. (all the Characters see) where the prompt would be also?

Is the reason I had Sutex.hp, that Database variable and all the other Characters Database variable are in the Everyone.pkg

The Everyone.pkg showing, the Group trigger. The greyed out prompt, the one, this post is trying to get working. Next image shows that prompt .


The prompt which all Characters have in their .pkg

[/img]


All Characters PKG set up like Sutex. The Everyone tab, only the Everyone.pkg itself is checked. Same with Eternal Darkness which holds my Chat windows


What it all looks like

For the purpose of sharing vitals, it has to be in the shared package.
My @groupstats example was just trying to avoid the awkwardness of @{%window}.

This may be one of those things where DOCUMENTATION would be worthwhile. Should we get up a petition? Should we call the Queen for more paperwork?

However, I think, in the ADVANCED settings for the window/package, if you add the packages (accessible to other windows/packages) where the data is located it seems like that should do it...or you could qualify the data with the parent class of the variables.

I discovered that thing with %dbvar and gauges....it the same for buttons... because the data is not updated until you either click the button...or, if you go to the editor, click on the dbvar so that it gets updated.

I did mention on at least one of these threads that @dbVars don't play nice with gauges (which are technically buttons).
But it's also a simple fix (relatively).
Set the buttons/gauges to use a static variable (@hp, @hpMax, etc).
Then edit your prompt trigger to save the data to both the local session variables and the shared session @dbVar, for the odd situation when that is needed.

Had no issues,@dbVars don't play nice with gauges below is working well.
Now the One prompt to rule them all! and the code above is meant to use these already set up variables the gauges below use.

The idea, each individual Characters.pkg normal prompt would be deleted. And the normal prompt would then be placed in the Everyone.pkg so all Characters can see it.
Then the One prompt to rule them all! can update the #SHOW send it Group chat if anyone about to die.
And the same normal prompt in the Everyone.pkg would update the variables gauges below and they would still work.

CURRENT SETUP

StatusEnergyHealthBar This uses my normal prompt (%d)hp (%d)m (%d)mv (%d)Arcana> (updated it yesterday to include Energy the last %d )
And this goes in each Characters .pkg (not seen by each other)

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<cmud>
  <class name="Status Bar">
    <button name="Health" type="Gauge" autosize="false" width="290" height="12" autopos="false" top="0" toolbar="2" image="HEART" color="green" textcolor="olive" gaugelowcol="red" gaugebackcol="aqua" priority="86">
      <value>zgh;
zre @tank;
zre @leader;</value>
      <expr>@Sutex.hp</expr>
