I'm working on an autoroll script for my favorite mud, but I seem to have a little trouble getting it working.

Here is what I have. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

#CLASS {autoroll} {enable}
#trigger {tie Elminster at chess!} {#var int 1} {1}
#trigger {a little faster than most.} {#var int 0} {1}
#trigger {average intelligence.} {#var int 0} {1}
#trigger {few cards short} {#var int 0} {1}
#trigger {inventive thinker.} {#var int 0} {1}
#trigger {slow learner.} {#var int 0} {1}
#trigger {Doorknobs} {#var int 0} {1}
#trigger {to endure!} {#var con 1}{1}
#trigger {good health.} {#var con 0} {1}
#trigger {and tire very easily.} {#var con 0} {1}
#trigger {sick and can run miles without tiring.} {#var con 0} {1}
#trigger {sick, and you heal quickly.} {#var con 0} {1}
#trigger {You tire easily.} {#var con 0} {1}
#trigger {It's a miracle you survived} {#var con 0} {1}
#trigger {religion} {#var chr 1} {1}
#trigger {social outcast.} {#var chr 0} {1}
#trigger {silver tongue.} {#var chr 1} {1}
#trigger {enjoy your company.} {#var chr 1} {1}
#trigger {annoying personality.} {#var chr 0} {1}
#trigger {are popular.} {#var chr 1} {1}
#trigger {No one likes you} {#var chr 0} {1}
#trigger {strength of an ox!} {#var str 1} {1}
#trigger {People don't often} {#var str 0} {1}
#trigger {weakling.} {#var str 0} {1}
#trigger {newborn kitten} {#var str 0} {1}
#trigger {tug-o-war} {#var str 0} {1}
#trigger {well-define} {#var str 0} {1}
#trigger {average strength} {#var str 0} {1}
#trigger {sunlight!} {#var dex 1} {1}
#trigger {good balance} {#var dex 0} {1}
#trigger {natural talent} {#var dex 1} {1}
#trigger {nimble and flexible.} {#var dex 1} {1}
#trigger {slightly clumsy and} {#var dex 0} {1}
#trigger {tendency to trip} {#var dex 0} {1}
#trigger {Pottery and porcelain} {#var dex 0} {1}
#trigger {Sages} {#var wis 1} {1}
#trigger {sound decisions.} {#var wis 0} {1}
#trigger {sometimes learn from your mistakes.} {#var wis 0} {1}
#trigger {rush in} {#var wis 0} {1}
#trigger {have outstanding} {#var wis 1} {1}
#trigger {excellent judgment.} {#var wis 1} {1}
#trigger {believe anything} {#var wis 0} {1}
#trigger {Do these stats look satisfactory to you? [y/n]:} {#math crit {$con&&$str&&$int&&$dex&&$wis&&$chr};#if ($crit=1) {yes} {no}} {1}
#variable chr {0}
#variable con {0}
#variable dex {0}
#variable int {0}
#variable str {0}
#variable wis {0}
#class {0}

zMud loads it just fine, but it doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

(P.S. The highlighted part is the troublesome part.)

first of all, I assume you want it to make crit true if all values of those variables are set to 1.

You should use an #IF statement instead of #math, secondly, you access variable-values by @variable not $variable.

And comparing a variable in an if statement you would have to use 2 =... #IF (@crit == 1) {}{} ..

and in the trigger pattner you'll have to use ~ to allow special characters to be a part of the pattern. such as ~[ and ~]

Hope that helps a bit.

Well what doesnt it doo....... but here are some things to think about

using the default special chars you need @ not $
Also chances are this should be a PROMPT type trigger

#TRIGGER "roller" {Do these stats look satisfactory to you? [y/n]:} {
#IF (@con & @str &@int & @dex & @wis & @chr) {yes} {no}
#VAR con 0
#VAR str 0
#VAR int 0
#VAR dex 0
#VAR wis 0
#VAR chr 0
} "" {prompt|nocr}

In refrence to misterbalrog----

== is undocumented in the expressions help file but I believe acts the same as =
But since any number in zmud greater than 0 ='s true you can do without the comparison.

I'm looking at a condensed way of writing this particular trigger, just so I can understand what exactly is happening.

Would this be an accurate re-writing of what you wrote?

#TRIGGER “roller” {Do these stats look satisfactory to you? [y/n]:} {#IF (@con & @str & @int & @dex & @wis & @chr) {yes} {no};#VAR chr 0;#VAR con 0;#VAR dex 0;#VAR int 0;#VAR str 0;#VAR wis 0} “” {prompt|nocr}

Thanks a bunch for all your help. It'll make it much easier to make new ones in the future with this knowledge.

The variables are all storing their values now, but the "reroll" trigger is still not firing. Any more suggestions?

Chances are the pattern doesn't correctly match or that it might not be a prompt trigger make sure you copy and past the trigger from my post into your command line if it still doesn't work remove the "" {prompt|nocr} from the end and try again

You need to use tildes before the brackets in the pattern.
Do these stats look satisfactory to you? ~[y/n~]:

Technically the ? should also be tilded, but since it is the pattern wildcard for any single character it will match itself.

Ok, so I use the the ~ escape character for the brackets. As far as the prompt|nocr, should this be in {} or ""?

*Whap self* thanks for catching that Vij :P

As for the prompt|nocr I put it between {} because I know it works that way however it should work with "" but Im not gonna test it.

thanks for all the help. (can you tell I'm a virtual noob in all this scripting? Not quite the same as programming, is it?)
