hey there..

how do I make a script that can do this:

I'm playing on a mud that you get random rolls for abilities when creating a new character... for example, if you want a 20 str.. they're very rare in certain instances and you'd potentially have the manually roll around 150 times to achieve it.

How do I make a script that stops on a roll of a given value?

This is what the screen looks like:

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

Name: Gren
Race: Minotaur
Class: Monk

Ability Scores:
Str: 16/0 Int: 11 Wis: 15 Dex: 11 Con: 15 Cha: 8

Do you wish to keep this character (Y/N)?

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

if I want the script to enter the value 'n' unless it sees a str value of 20, how do I do that?

Thanks!

If the mud will allow you to type something
when the stats show up perhaps something
as simple as the following will work.

#TRIGGER {^Str: (%d)} {#IF (%1 != 20) {n} {y}}

what would the pattern be?

oh.. and if the str is 20, I want it to answer 'y' and if not, answer 'n'

thanks

This can be entered into your command line:

#TRIGGER {^Str: (%d)} {#IF (%1 != 20) {n} {y}}

It can be entered into the settings editor as:
Trigger:^Str: (%d)
Value:#IF (%1 != 20) {n} {y}

Hopefully this will work for you. If the
strength is not 20 it sends n and if it is
it will send y.

// solution B //
If you mud doesn't like the n being sent
that fast then we can send the y/n when we
get the prompt message:

Variable: V_str
Default Value: 0
Value: 0

Trigger:^Str: (%d)
Value:#VAR V_Str %1

Trigger:Do you wish to keep this character (Y/N)?
Value:#IF (@V_Str != 20) {n} {y}
Options: [X] prompt [ ] newline

thanks much, TonDiening

it worked!

just curious.. if I was willing to settle for one of 2 results.. say I wanted 19 OR 20.. how would I say that in the syntax?

and.. if I wanted the value of more than one att to be met.. like a str of 20 and a dex of 19.. how would I do that? ;)

Thanks much btw!

Capture more and change the #IF statement.

Trigger:^Str: (%d)~/(%d) Int: (%d) Wis: (%d) Dex: (%d) Con: (%d) Cha: (%d)
Value:
#VAR V_Str %1
#VAR V_Str_mod %2
#VAR V_Int %3
#VAR V_Wis %4
#VAR V_Dex %5
#VAR V_Con %6
#VAR V_Cha %7

Trigger:Do you wish to keep this character (Y/N)?
Value:#IF #IF ((@V_Str >= 20) AND @V_Dex >= 19))
{y} {n}
Options: [X] prompt [ ] newline

sorry for 100 questions.. what if I was willing to accept the results of one of _two_ str rolls?

like if I were to edit the trigegr so not only does it accept a roll of 20... but ALSO of 19 as well..

sorry if you just answered that.. I was a little lost trying to understand your last post.. variables throw me ;)

Thanks again, TonDiening

Just change in the #IF statment from 20 to 19 and it would work like a dream

well.. I'm comfortable with accepting EITHER a 19 or a 20.. so if I could change the trigger to say something like:

#IF (%1 != 19 or 20) {n} {y}

that would be cool..

I doubt that's the correct syntax tho..

You can change it to #IF ((%1 != 19) and (%1 != 20)). It's doing things the hard way, but you can do it.

Most people just want to be sure their stats are a minimum value and don't care how high they go, so instead of specifying particular numbers they just specify the minimum with a greater than (>) or greater than or equal to (>=) expression.
