Help - Recasting failed spells w/ Triggers
|
Ok I read the below "General Spellup" question but didnt see any help so... I have been trying to figure out how to recast a spell if i failed the initial cast. What I have thus far: I have 'a' variable called "spell", all spells are individually aliased (i.e.: cae = #VAR spell {c 'armor' %1};c 'armor' %1;#WAIT 4000 *next alias* cbl = #VAR spell {c 'bless' %1};c 'bless' %1;#WAIT 4000..etc), and 7 triggers (for the various ways a spell (in text on the mud) can fail) and their value is @spell. The problem I am having is I have a cleric who bots large groups so I get spammed so the variable @spell gets changed before the actual spell is cast (i.e.: n1 says 'earmor'. {trigger starts to fire - @spell= c 'armor' n1),*next person* n2 says 'ebless' (next trigger starts to fire - @spell= c 'bless' n2) first persons spell casts and fizzles but it trys to recast bless (because the variable got changed to quickly) instead of what actually fizzled (armor)... I'd really appreciate any help on this especially if there is an easier way to do this:) thanks in advance!!

Use lists instead of just a single variable. When someone triggers a spell, add "cast 'armor' bob" to the list (for example--maybe you will just want to add 'armor' depending on how you do it). Then when the spell fails, just repeat the last item in the list. When it succeeds, remove it from the list. You could probably modify my autospellup script to suit your purposes fairly easily.

Heya Cyrn :)..Well how would you suggest I do that, meaning I'm already using your spellup to cast spells on me so how would I set it up for other people? Would I have to create a whole new class for other people, or can I use what I have already? Oh, that last line that trigger on the racial stats, my mud doesn't have that line or anything like it so what would I base my forth trigger on?
