Variable Data Record
|
I have a data record variable that stores how many times each person in my party has gotten a specific message.
Ex-
#TRIGGER {^(%w) STRIKES Corn soldier and then STRIKES it AGAIN,$to only STRIKE it AGAIN untill Corn soldier has been HAMMERED down,$and all that remains is a godawful bloody mess!$} {#add pcrit_bloodymess.%lower( %1) 1}
The trigger works fine, but when I #show the var it displays as:
person1 #ofmsgs person2 #ofmsgs
Those 's actually look like a bold | to me though.
Anyway, I know that this display is normal, but I was wondering if there was a way to display them similar to this:
Person 1 - #ofmsgs
Person 2 - #ofmsgs
Should I just switch over to using a string list, or is it possible as a data record?
Thanks for any input you may have.

Use #SHOWDB instead of #SHOW.

Thank you Kjata, that works just fine. I want this thing to be as versatile as possible though. I would like it to list the results in numeric order (from the person with the greatest number of a certain message, to the person that got that message the least number of times.)
Example:
This is the current output
- Party Criticals -
Bloody Mess:
Person1: 2
Person2: 4
Person3: 1
Person4: 3
Person5: 6
I would like it to display like
- Party Criticals -
Bloody Mess:
Person5: 6
Person2: 4
Person4: 3
Person1: 2
Person3: 1
I can probably figure it out if you can point me in the right direction (which commands/functions I should read up on etc) but I'd appreciate any help you can give.

Simplest thing that comes to mind is putting it into a string list and sorting it. Depending on how you call your database records and the player's name format, you can do nifty things.
quote:
#SHOW %sort(@slist,1)
displays:
def|ABC|ab cd|ab|9|789|45|123|008
Just be wary that if you get values > 9 you'll have to pad numbers less than 10 with a zero to get a nice sort.
