Hello,

Sometime back I downloaded a script for medievia written by carabas. Using it as an example I attempted to write a script to replace a characters title. I have not been successful. I cannot seem to get it to alter any text displays. Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?

#CLASS {LevelShow}
#VARIABLE LevelShowSub {%2}
#TRIGGER {^(%w) the (*) is here};
#if ("%2" = "Believer") {#var LevelShowSub {1st Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Attendant") {#var LevelShowSub {2nd Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Acolyte") {#var LevelShowSub {3rd Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Novice") {#var LevelShowSub {4th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Missionary") {#var LevelShowSub {5th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Adept") {#var LevelShowSub {6th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Deacon") {#var LevelShowSub {7th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Vicar") {#var LevelShowSub {8th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Priest") {#var LevelShowSub {9th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Minister") {#var LevelShowSub {10th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Canon") {#var LevelShowSub {11th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Levite") {#var LevelShowSub {12th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Curate") {#var LevelShowSub {13th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Monk") {#var LevelShowSub {14th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Healer") {#var LevelShowSub {15th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Chaplain") {#var LevelShowSub {16th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Expositor") {#var LevelShowSub {17th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Bishop") {#var LevelShowSub {18th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Arch Bishop") {#var LevelShowSub {19th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Patriarch") {#var LevelShowSub {20th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Elder Patriarch") {#var LevelShowSub {21st Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Grand Patriarch") {#var LevelShowSub {22nd Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Great Patriarch") {#var LevelShowSub {23rd Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Demon Killer") {#var LevelShowSub {24th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Greater Demon Killer") {#var LevelShowSub {25th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Avatar of an Immortal") {#var LevelShowSub {26th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Avatar of a Deity") {#var LevelShowSub {27th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Avatar of a Supremity") {#var LevelShowSub {28th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Avatar of Implementors") {#var LevelShowSub {29th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Master of all Divinity") {#var LevelShowSub {30th Level Cleric}};
#if ("%2" = "Cardinal Hero") {#var LevelShowSub {31st Level Cleric}};
#SUBSTITUTE {%1 the @LevelShowSub is here}
#CLASS 0

thanks

I believe all the #IF commands and the #SUB command need to be actions taken in response to your #TRIGGER, not separate lines as you have them. I don't see any real purpose in the #VAR, it would be simpler to do the #SUB directly.

#TR {{^(%w) the (*) is here} {#IF ("%2" = "Believer") {#SUB {%1 the 1st Level Cleric is here}};#IF ("%2" = "Attendant") {#SUB {%1 the 2nd Level Cleric is here}};#IF ("%2" = "Acolyte") {#SUB {%1 the 3rd Level Cleric is here}};etc;#IF ("%2" = "Cardinal Hero") {#SUB {%1 the 31st Level Cleric is here}}}

Try this trigger out for size:

#trigger {^(%w the (*) is here} {
;this is shortened/simplified in such a way as to have no need of ordinal numbers
;if you wish to handle titles for other classes, simply make copies of the loop and divide the variables appropriately
#loop 1,%numitems(@titles) {#if (%2 = %item(@titles,%i)) {#sub {blah blah blah level %i cleric blah blah blah}} {#NOOP no match here, continue on}}
}

Gentlemen,

First, thanks for the help.

I am going to try the first example here in a little while. Matt, could you be a little more verbose with the second example .... I'm not that good of a coder so this is as much a learning exercise as it is game enhancement. Sorry for the being so dense ... I wish this came more natural.

In the vein of learning; would you (or anyone) know how to correct the first example?

thanks again

Christopher Chew

#CLASS 0

NB: The Trigger command in this case is simply:
'#TRIGGER {parse text} {commands/text to send}'

Sometimes it consists of:
'#TRIGGER "trigger id" {parse/alarm/expression} {commands} {classname} flags'

It has to be entered on one line. The commands that the trigger responds with can only be expressed in multiple lines within the settings editor.

Thank you very much .... the initial example now works. I am going to try suggestions from both lightbulb and matt.

I didn't change the basis of the #SUBSITUTE line, but since you had that part down pat I didn't bother recopying it in exact form. What I did change was the method of comparison, and that wasn't very much of a change.

The #LOOP command will execute the included commands multiple times, in this case a number equal to the number of items in the Titles variable. The #IF command works the same way those 31 #IFs do, in that if a match is found the if will send a #SUB line to the screen instead of just doing nothing.

All in all, basically all I did was tidy things up.
