I would try changing your pattern to be more explicit

If $name are the potential damage types, you would want to construct a variable database

#ADDKEY mobDefenses $name $diff

(this variable should be reset in the first state (0) to a null value)
mobDefenses=%null

Which could then be polled for the highest/lowest value in a new third state of your trigger.

hmmm and yes its based on mob weaknesses and to change the damage types accordingly...

$bar=%len(%2)
$dot=%len(%3)
diff=($bar-$dot)
#show $bar $dot
#print @diff

this is exaclty what i needed for getting raw numbers to then produce the next part (shalimar once again coming through:P)
sooo now i need to work on the #switch for which damage types work best for what.

it gets much more complicated becaus ei only have 4 different damage types, and need to reconcile that against what the specific monster is weakest to, so i may not have the best damage but have to go with 2nd or 3rd or just be able to do any damage.

I swapped things up a bit with the dbVar orginization and updated your trigger with all three states:

Hmm it created the trigger, but isnt recording to db you made in the trigger <--- i forgot to turn triggers back on, but its not recording each dmg type to dbvar...

2: Je|Kardon|Doon|Shoufa|Bekkar|Algode|Cair|Era|Sorda|Rahien is the return of #showdb mobDefenses... its not recording each name|difference... and i need to use an #IF to call up the one that is the "highest" number which would be the biggest difference, though that wouldnt be 100% accurate because the "|" or "." could be the greater of the two,m so it has to be the lowest "|" of akk the others to be thew weakest defense there

it might be the ~ in front of the :, not sure why that got in there

its also possible that all the #SHOWs and #PRINTs from your trigger are throwing mine off, im not using loop lines, but resetting the trigger state
If there are any line gaps between the expected states that needs to be allowed for by knowing the maximum gap

Oh so you are looking for the lowest of either bars or dots?
That requires a different structuring to track both stats instead of just the disparity.

thi sis your directly from the one you posted, i didnt not add anythig to it whatsoever...

the other one i was posting wass mine, i just cut/pasted some of your stuff into

yours does capture the first instance of the capture,. but doesnt capture within line ( the second one, and its also not capturing to dbvar you have in there at all)

Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2024 8:08 pm

I didn't see you post any other full triggers

But the output you show is more than a single line worth of capture.

So im not sure what you are currently working with that is giving you effective output.

We need to be on the same page and furthering the same code.

This is what i copy/pasted from your example above... this is all im using
It does capture the first example of the capture, but doesnt capture all of them

-=] Je: [||||||....] Kardon: [||||||....] [=-
2
2: Je

-=] Doon: [||||||....] Shoufa: [||||||....] [=-
-=] Bekkar: [||||||....] Algode: [||||||....] [=-
-=] Cair: [||||||....] Era: [||||||....] [=-
-=] Sorda: [||||||....] Rahien: [||||||....] [=-

this is what it does for your trigger.
i apologize if i confused things with my own build

You are quite alright, just part of the process.
However, if mine isn't working, i don't need to see mine again, I need to see how you edited yours to get good results.

Remove as many of the #SHOWs and #PRINTs as you can, they are useful for error testing, but once you know you have a good value, it's just clutter.

Oh right, i added ther "loop lines 25" and "whithin line" to make it search far enough to capture all the instances, and withink lines to force it to look again on each of the 25 lines, though i only counted 9 lines, it seems to stop checking if i didnt add that length of lines (not sure if im just not comprehending how that works.

so if the results are for cair/doon/algode are the lowest or also are the same as other others being 0 difference or less, i would simply use that damage type, now if its lowest for any other types je, kardon, shoufa etc, i would always use cair

$low=%item(%sort(%dbkeys(@mobDefenses)),1)
//gets the lowest value key
$list=%db(@mobDefenses, $low)
//gets the list associated with that key
$excludeList="this|that|the other"
#FORALL $excludeList {#DELITEM $list %i}
//gets rid of all the options you don't want to even consider, in one go
$item=%item($list,%random(1, %numitems($list)))
//picks one member from said list, all things being equal

$excludeList="this|that|the other"
#FORALL $excludeList {#DELITEM $list %i}
//gets rid of all the options you don't want to even consider, in one go
$item=%item($list,%random(1, %numitems($list)))
//picks one member from said list, all things being equal

the excludelist, do i add the damage types i dont care about instead of "this|that"theother"?
then when you have pick a random one, how would i say choose whichever is lowest from the list and then assign 1 or 2 based on the lowest?

i basically only use cair/doon depending.

if you only really care about two of the damage types, i would just only store data on thoses two $names, then the existing syntax still applies

rather than the exclude method (a blacklist) lets try a whitelist instead:

#IF (%ismember($name, "Cair|Doon") {
$diffList=%db(@mobDefenses, $diff)
#ADDITEM $diffList $name
#ADDKEY mobDefenses $diff $diffList
}
