Hiya and Thanks in Advance! Very Happy

I just got a new skill called "Hellblade". A more advanced skill than the previous "helldagger'.

Now when you send the command hellblade to the MUD you can get several different responses... here are some examples;

Masterful hit!!!! Your ==H=e=l=l=b=l=a=d=e>>>> <<--*-->> IMPLODES <<--*-->> Sea Snail!
Masterful hit!!!! Your ==H=e=l=l=b=l=a=d=e>>>> <<--*-->> IMPLODES <<--*-->> Sea Snail!
Masterful hit!!!! Your ==H=e=l=l=b=l=a=d=e>>>> <<--*-->> IMPLODES <<--*-->> Sea Snail!

or

Your ==H=e=l=l=b=l=a=d=e>>>> misses Sea Snail.

or variations such as;

Your ==H=e=l=l=b=l=a=d=e>>>> <--+--> FOSSILIZES <--+--> Sea Snail!
Your ==H=e=l=l=b=l=a=d=e>>>> misses Sea Snail.
Masterful hit!!!! Your ==H=e=l=l=b=l=a=d=e>>>> <<--*-->> IMPLODES <<--*-->> Sea Snail!

So when it's successful it always hits with 3 lines whether or not there's a "miss" in it, if it fails then there's only the single line with the "miss" in it.

Here's the trigger I wrote for it but there seems to be a problem in the first #IF I think...

PATTERN:
Your ~[~[==~]~]H=e=l=l=b=l=a=d=e~>~>~>~> (*)

TRIGGER:
#ADD hblade 1
#VA hblademsg %1
#IF ((@hblademsg = misses) & (@hblade >= 1)) {
hellblade
@hblade = 0
}
#IF (@hblade >= 3) {
hellblade
@hblade = 0
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Very Happy

Thanks,
Tygerhart

Since you can't know in advance if the pattern will happen once or three times, add something different to control your trigger.
#TR Hellblade1 {Your ~[~[==~]~]H=e=l=l=b=l=a=d=e~>~>~>~> } {#T- Hellblade1;say attack;hellblade}
#TR {You say attack} {#T+ Hellblade1}

Thanks Lightbulb!

Once again your solutions boggle my mind, but I'll be damned if they don't always work too! Very Happy

Thanks again!
