Zugg Software :: View topic - trigger that reads mana and casts when mana is ful

Wanderer Joined: 20 Dec 2001 Posts: 56 Location: USA

trying to setup a script that'll cast spells consistently and then will sleep when I run out of mana. that part is easy. I can do that.
what I have NOT been able to do is figure out how to get myself to wake up when my mana fills out.

#tr {You don't have enough mana} {sleep}

my prompt is in the form

(present hp}/(max hp) (present mana)/(max mana)

so I know I have to set up some type of variable that reads what my "max" mana should be, then it compares it to my "present" mana, and wakes me up when present mana is equal to max mana.

I just don't know how to make that happen *pout*
any help greatly appreciated

I dunno why you wanna wait until you are completely full rather than, say, 3/4, but that's no biggie

.

#trigger {prompt pattern here, replace each number with (%d)} {#if (%3 = %4) {wake} {#noop continue sleeping}}

You'll also want to make sure this is a prompt trigger.
#TR {(%d)/(%d) (%d)/(%d)} {#IF (%3 = %4) {wake}} {} {nocr|prompt}

Another thing is that this trigger (as it is in the previous posts) will continue trying to wake you (even though you're already awake) until you're mana goes down again. For this reason, it's important to add a control mechanism.

#TR {You don't have enough mana} {sleep;#VAR asleep 1}
#TR {(%d)/(%d) (%d)/(%d)} {#IF ((%3 = %4) AND (@asleep = 1)) {wake;#VAR asleep 0}} {} {nocr|prompt}

hurmm...didn't work...I can't get 4.62 to recognize the trigger pattern.

this is exactly how my prompt looks:

407/407hp 260/260mn blahjblahbljdsfj

I adjusted the trigger so it read
(%d/%d)*(%d/%d)*

didn't work. *mutter*

this is version 4.62 btw...probably shoulda said that.

the "asleep" variable doesn't update itself, obviously, because the trigger pattern isn't being recognized.

also, when I enter the 2nd part (the %d/%d part) it takes off the first ( and the last ) so that it only reads
%d/%d) (%d/%d
in the trigger part, and it totally takes off the {} {nocr|prompt} part

sorry for being dense, any help greatly appreciated.

#TR {You don't have enough mana} {sleep;#VAR asleep 1}
#TR {(%d)/(%d)hp (%d)/(%d)mn} {#IF ((%3 = %4) AND (@asleep = 1)) {wake;#VAR asleep 0}} {} {nocr|prompt}

Ok, here are LightBulb's triggers in a color coded form and with the pattern of the prompt trigger updated to match your prompt. You may create these two triggers using the Settings Editor with the following convention:

Stuff in red goes in the Pattern part of the trigger
Stuff in blue goes in the Value (Commands) part of the trigger.
Stuff in green mean the options of the trigger that must be selected/deselected. In the second trigger, particularly, you need to check the Trigger on Prompt option and uncheck the Trigger on Newline option.

Notice that in none of these the outer curly braces were included. So, for example, the pattern of the first trigger is:
You don't have enough mana

and not:
{You don't have enough mana}

Another very useful advice would be to upgrade to a newer version of zMUD. I certainly don't have 4.62, so I can't try what I suggest. You will also find that most people in this forum don't have 4.62 too and will not provide much help with it.

*shrug* Updates are always free, forever, and version 6.x is a whole lot better and more powerful...

I actuaslly have 6.16 on my system back home (I'm in korea now), even paid for the darn thing and got it registered!!!
but I am not aware of how to make the registration thingee work since I don't have the key or whatever...

regardless, it was the "check/uncheck" the newline thing that worked. thanks. :)
