Ok, again, Imperian/Achaean healing problem. The problem is simple to discribe but a complete PITA to solve.

Right now I have no problem having my system keep accurate count of what I got for afflictions. The problem I have is so I don't spam eating herbs. example.

My system will pick up that I have sensitivity, paralysis and say stupidity. It will pick herbs I need but since it checks the entire thing it just gets spammed. Thanks in advance.

I have triggers to try and prevent it, but its still spamming to eat and apply vials.

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean, 'checks the entire thing'?
I and others would love to help, but I think we might need a little bit more information if we're going to shed some light on this.

give examples, trigs, stuff we can work with Smile

ok, here is an example.

I'll get the afflicitons messages like:

Zeus slashes into you with a sabre,
The idea of eating or drinking is repulsive to you.
Zeus slashes into you with a sabre,
Your lungs tighten and it becomes hard to breathe

I attack, then

Zeus slashes into you with a sabre,
Pain is something only the weak feel!
Zeus slashes into you with a sabre,
A *****ly, stinging sensation spreads through your body

Here is the trigger and the action:
Trigger: The idea of eating or drinking is repulsive to you.
Action: #IF (("%1" <> "** Illusion **") and ("%2" <> "** Illusion **")) {
anorexia = 1
anorexicaffliction
}

Trigger: Your lungs tighten and it becomes hard to breathe
Action: #color 170
#IF (("%1" <> "** Illusion **") and ("%2" <> "** Illusion **")) {
asthma = 1
asthmaaffliction
}

Trigger: Pain is something only the weak feel!
Action: #IF (("%1" <> "** Illusion **") and ("%2" <> "** Illusion **")) {
recklessness = 1
#color 210
recklessaffliction
}

Trigger: A *****ly, stinging sensation spreads through your body
Action:#IF (("%1" <> "** Illusion **") and ("%2" <> "** Illusion **")) {
sensitive = 1
sensitiveaffliction
#cw 550
}

Now then, for aliases,

Sensitiveaffliction : #addi afflictions {Sensitive -EMH- Eat Maidenhair!}
emh

emh {#if @herbbalance {outr maidenhair;eat maidenhair}}

The same goes true with recklessaffliction, ashtmaaffliction and anorexicafflction.

now, On a 1 second timer I have the the a large priortized list to check to see if I am afflicted and then cure it in an order, here is the herb aspect of it.

#if (@herbbalance AND NOT @asleep AND NOT @aeon AND NOT @stunned) {
#if {@paralysis} {emh}
#if ( @sensitive) {emh}
#if ( @asthma) {kel}
#if ( @darkshade) {ens}
#if ( @recklessness) {ema}
#if { @maso} {eo}
#if { @agoraphobia} {eo}
#if ( @hypersomnia) {eww}
#if ( @haemophilia) {ens}
#if ( @clumsy) {kel}
#if { @peace} {eg}
#if { @claus} {eo}
#if ( @shyness) {ema}
#if ( @weakness) {kel}
#if ( @epilepsy) {sl}
#if ( @lovers) {eg}
#if ( @dizzy) {ema}
#if ( @confusion) {eww}
#if ( @halucinate) {eww}
#if ( @nausea) {ens}
#if { @blindness} {hys}
}

the problem is, it runs through this list and then will get out the required herbs and try to eat them all at once instead of checking for herbbalance each time.

thanks

You could try something like this in your eat alias

emh {#if (@herbbalance and !@herbeating) {outr maidenhair;eat maidenhair;#VAR herbeating 1}}

Then add a trigger (actualy you probably have it already to set @herbbalance to 0)
#TRIGGER {You eat an herb} {#VAR herbeating 0}

This way once you eat an herb you wont eat another until you get @herbbalance=1 and @herbeating=0.

I didn't think about it before, but you could just try

emh {#if (@herbbalance) {outr maidenhair;eat maidenhair;#VAR herbalance 0}}

Wanderer Joined: 05 Apr 2003 Posts: 60 Location: USA

ok, curius, does it have to be

#var herbbalance 0

or can it be

herbbalance = 0
?

Like, in this case does it have to be specific?

Apprentice Joined: 28 Sep 2001 Posts: 103 Location: USA

No, it wouldn't have to specific. It's just they way I write my stuff. personal choice. I should have followed your style in the example, but didn't think about it.

don't worry about it =)

hopefully this will work

Instead of having that many #if statements.. why not use queues? You can sort and prioritize queues, and easily add cures for new afflictions that way.

When you get for instance "Pain is something only the weak feel!" add lobelia to your plant queue.. and remove it from the queue when you get the cure message. That will also stop thinking you have cured an affliction when you have more than one which use the same cure :)

Aslo, the only afflictions you really need to keep track of with individual variables are ones that can cause a venom lock. There were a few good threads about this subject a while back. They are probably still there if you do a search on "Achaea healing" or such

*nods* I know, but thing is, I am going for an automatic healing system, not just to keep track of venomlocks. As I said, the only thing now I am trying to do is not have my system eat 2+ herbs or apply 2+ salves at once, but rather wait for balance to return
