Zugg Software :: View topic - A really simple question that i just can't fix :(

Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2003 7:22 am

A line in the mud is like this

Level: 3 Mental barrier Mana: 5 Learned: 84%

(hope that turned out ok..its all one line anyways)
What i want to do is capture the lvl, mana amount, and learned amount AND the name of the spell

I tried this... but i dunno how to access all the %n etcs, i know i'm not doing it right...but i'm still pretty new and the help file sorta sucks on this.

Level:%s%n%s&Spellname%sMana:%s%n%sLearned:%s%n~%

And another question, WHY when i click on the triggers button is it always in some subfolder and not in the main directory or in the last directory i was working in, its starting to really annoy me!

V6.40 if that helps

try..

^Level: (%d) (*) Mana: (%d) Learned: (%d)~%$

now %1 should be the lvl, %2 the name of the spell, %3 mana amount and %4 learned amount..

your going in the right direction, but here's what i would recommend: lose the & and use () to save patterns. the trigger would look something like this:

#tr {Level:%s(%d)%s(*) Mana:%s(%d)%sLearned:%s(%d)~%} {
#var level %1
#var name %trimright(%2)
#var mana %3
#var learned %4
}

the key is putting () around a pattern, everything inside the parenthesis will be stored to a parameter %1 - %99, in the order they came in the line, that you can access in the commands of your trigger.

--note: i added the %trimright function call because it looks like we might not be sure how many spaces are between each of the words. if you know for sure how many spaces there will be, then you can cut out the %s wildcards and put the spaces in the pattern.

No that doesn't work because it is trying to match the number of spaces b4 the trigger is set off, that is why i had the %s's in there... so, its useless for when a double digit number comes along :(

but even they way you had it, it didn't work at all...so something else must be wrong as well
