I'm needing a simple script that will tell me when my align is about to change from netural/evil/good.

my prompt looks like this:

HIT:12722/18722 MVS:1367/1367 A:340 EXLVL:6202335

When the A:??? approaches 350 i want some type of visual or alarm to let me know before it reaches 350. Likewise i need to also know when it's going to hit -350 as well and all my eq zappes off of me.

Simple? eh not for me lol but for you guru's i'm certain it's a snap!
Thanks in advance.

Since both positive and negative values are bad and the cut-off is the same for both, I pulled that out of the capture and used just the number. This is designed to give you warnings every time your alignment changes when it is over 300 and moving towards 350.

#TR "AlignmentWarn" {^HIT:%d/%d MVS:%d/%d A:{-|}(%d) EXLVL:%d} {#IF (%1>300) {#IF (%1>@LastAlign) {#ECHO Warning! You are losing neutrality!}};LastAlign=%1} {} {prompt|nocr}

I get the following when using this.

{#IF (%1>) {#ECHO Warning! You are losing neutrality!}};LastAlign=%1
^ syntax error

Eghm... no {} around the actuall #IF..

#IF (%1>300) {#ECHO Warning! You are losing neutrality!};LastAlign=%1

SubAdmin Joined: 18 Nov 2001 Posts: 5182

I just tested it, and it works perfectly. Simply copy the entire thing, paste it into the command line and hit enter.

#TR "AlignmentWarn" {^HIT:%d/%d MVS:%d/%d A:{-|}(%d) EXLVL:%d} {#IF (%1>300) {#IF (%1>@LastAlign) {#ECHO Warning! You are losing neutrality!}};LastAlign=%1} {} {prompt|nocr}

Patter: ^HIT:%d/%d MVS:%d/%d A:{-|}(%d) EXLVL:%d

Value: {#IF (%1>) {#ECHO Warning! You are losing neutrality!}};LastAlign=%1
^ syntax error

I copied the entire line into the command line and pressed enter. It created the trigger just fine however it gives the error indicated above.

I can't do anything other then reformat it and hope you can understand this way. Use the Settings Editor to correct the existing trigger to match below.

Pattern: ^HIT:%d/%d MVS:%d/%d A:{-|}(%d) EXLVL:%d

Value: #IF (%1>300) {#IF (%1>@LastAlign) {#ECHO Warning! You are losing neutrality!}};LastAlign=%1

Options: Prompt=checked, NewLine=unchecked

You apparently have selected 'Expand Vars' in your Script Parser Preferences. Uncheck the preference while entering scripts at the command line.

I've tried to find "expand vars" in the script parser preferences however i have been unable to find the "Script Parser Preferences"

I still have not been able to get this script to work :( and I know you all are trying so hard to help me and i appriciate it too i really do.

On zMud's menu bar, select View,Preferences,General.
In the left pane, find 'General Parsing' and click it.
On the right pane in the second column, uncheck 'Expand Vars'

I believe this is what LightBulb was referring to.

Okay! that removed the error! Now it just doesn't seem like the trigger is firing. :(

the var @lastalign is never created.

In the settings editor with the trigger selected, click the test tab. Copy and paste your prompt into the text entry box and determine if the trigger is correct.

Okay i think this is what the problem is however I have no clue how to fix this.

the code for my prompt is as follows:

prompt %0Hit:%1%h/%H%0 MVS:%3%v/%V%0 A:%8%2%a%0 EXPLVL:%3%X%0%r%t%f%r%0

Now if i remove the %r%t%f%r%0 from the prompt code the trigger works. Below is an explanation of what these are for and why I need them.

%h - current hitpoints %i - Current hp with color
%m - current mana %n - Current mana with color
%v - current moves %w - Current moves with color
%k - current ki %l - Current ki with color
%g - current gold

%H - Max hitpoints %x - Experience
%M - Max mana %X - Experience to next level
%V - Max moves %a - Alignment
%K - Max ki %A - Alignment with color
%s - Sector type of room you are in

These codes also work, but they will only be displayed when you are
fighting:

%c - Your condition %C - Your condition with color
%f - Opponent's condition %F - Opponent's condition with color
%t - Tank's condition %T - Tank's condition with color

These codes allow you to set the colors used in your prompt:

%0 - Go back to normal text %5 - Purple
%1 - Red %6 - Cyan
%2 - Green %7 - Grey
%3 - Yellow %8 - Bold
%4 - Blue %9 - Flashing
%r - Carriage Return

So how do i account for the %r (carriage return) %t (Tank's Condition) %f (Opponet's Condition)
and the final %r (Carriage Return) in the prompt patten below?

Pattern: ^HIT:%d/%d MVS:%d/%d A:{-|}(%d) EXLVL:%d

Thanks!

As long as you're not anchoring the end of the prompt with the end of line pattern-matching character ($ by default), those things at the end of the prompt shouldn't matter.

As a guess, you could try adding %y to the end of your pattern. If that doesn't work, you'll have to wait for someone else's ideas.

Pattern: ^HIT:%d/%d MVS:%d/%d A:{-|}(%d) EXLVL:%d%y

unfortunally for me lol this did not work. The trigger stopps working as soon as i add the %r for the carriage return. As for the rest of the variables well i don't know until i get past the %r

If your prompt has a newline after the end then its no longer a "prompt" line uncheck the option for prompt and check the option for newline

SubAdmin Joined: 18 Nov 2001 Posts: 5182

That is funny. The trigger options set it to fire on prompts and not newlines. So since it always has a newline from the mud it never fires. The concept of a prompt is that it doesn't have a newline (I tend to do the same thing with my "prompt" though), wish you mentioned it in the first place. Simply check the Newline option and uncheck the Prompt option. The %y is not needed in the pattern, but you could add the end of line anchor $ if you want.

Okay we finally got this thing working!!!! Good job everyone!

Now, to add some spice to it lol...

What i'd like to do now is

1) add color to the echo xxxx
2) I have a list of equipment that I wear as follows.

You are using:
<right finger> an ivory ring [Excellent]
<left finger> an ivory ring [Excellent]
<around neck> a sparkling necklace [Excellent]
<around neck> a pale blue collar [Decent]
<on body> the Master Captain's scale mail [Good]
<on head> the Master Captain's coif [Excellent]
<on legs> the Master Captain's embossed greaves [Excellent]
<on feet> the Master Captain's leather boots [Excellent]
<on hands> the Master Captain's leather gloves [Excellent]
<on arms> the Master Captain's embossed bracers [Excellent]
<about body> a monkey's body [Excellent]
<about waist> a tattered loincloth [Excellent]
<around wrist> a red bandana [Excellent]
<around wrist> a red bandana [Decent]
<wielded> a crude, jagged spear [Excellent]
<second wield> a crude, jagged spear [Excellent]
<on face> a pair of vicious wolf fangs [Excellent]
<in left ear> a bronze giant earring (Glowing) [Excellent]
<in right ear> a bronze giant earring [Excellent]

Now, what i need to do is when my align reaches +-340 I want to automatically remove equipment and store it in a container.

And i thought just making this script was going to be a piece of cake lol.

Okay posted below is the original reply to my script here but i've just discovered that this only works when the numbers are going in a positive direction.

if my align is say -299 and it goes to -308 the trigger does not fire however if it's in a positive state it does trigger ie. 299 hitting 308 it triggers.

Since both positive and negative values are bad and the cut-off is the same for both, I pulled that out of the capture and used just the number. This is designed to give you warnings every time your alignment changes when it is over 300 and moving towards 350.

#TR "AlignmentWarn" {^HIT:%d/%d MVS:%d/%d A:{-|}(%d) EXLVL:%d} {#IF (%1>300) {#IF (%1>@LastAlign) {#ECHO Warning! You are losing neutrality!}};LastAlign=%1} {} {prompt|nocr}

You showed the + display as A:340. What's the - display look like?

Add an %ansi() function to the #ECHO.
Add an #IF (%1>340) {text to remove eq; text to put eq in container}

{#IF (%1>300) {#IF (%1>@LastAlign) {#ECHO {Warning! You are losing neutrality!;%ansi(color of choice)}}};#IF (%1>340) {text to remove eq; text to put eq in container};LastAlign=%1}

REPLACE in the pattern A:{-|}(%d) WITH A:(%n)
REPLACE all occurances of %1 in the value WITH %abs(%1)

Novice Joined: 02 Sep 2004 Posts: 42

okay got the +- thing figured out.

As for the removal of eq. There is a list of eq i need to remove not just one piece.
So how do i work in a list of eq to be removed and to be put into a container?

Wizard Joined: 15 Jan 2002 Posts: 1644 Location: USA

text to remove eq; text to put eq in container;more text to remove other eq;more text to put eq in container

Novice Joined: 02 Sep 2004 Posts: 42

Okay all that works, now i have another issue.

once my align hits the specified value, the trigger stays in a loop and floods the mud with the same commands.

So what i need now is if the align reaches 340 or -340 i need to remove items. if align is below 340 or -340 i need to wear items.

And the %ansi command does not work as listed above.

The %abs(%1) method worked fine for all positive values.

For negative values, when %1 < -300 , each lesser %1 (e.g. -301, -302, etc) triggered the #ECHO {Warning! You are losing neutrality!}. That's expected.

HOWEVER, when %1 increased to a more positive number < -300, it still triggered the #ECHO. E.g. %1 changed from -302 to -301.
AND, the #ECHO also fired when %1 was unchanged and < -300.

I ran it with Vijilante's A:{-|} and had no problems.

Change the #IF statement to
