heyo folks,

I've had a look through the help files and given it my best shot, but I've completely failed to work out how to get zMUD to give me a damage readout.

I've seen logs online that have people getting a message from zMUD telling them how much damage an attack has given them. The MUD I play has a constant Hitpoint monitor during combat that looks like this:

Hp: 1583 (1605) Gp: 280 (280) Xp: 164072

Where the '(1605)' is my maximum hitpoints.

What I'm talking about is setting zMUD to display the 'damage' I've received since the last round of attacks, between monitor outputs.

for example:

Hp: 1583 (1605) Gp: 280 (280) Xp: 164072
Damage - 22

Is anyone able to help me out with this?

#tr {Hp: &hp ~(&hpmax~) Gp: (%d) ~((%d)~) Xp: (%d)} #echo Damage: %eval( @hp-@oldhp) (at %eval( (@hp*100)/@hpmax)~%)
;#var oldhp @hp}

I've saved that into zMUD, it doesn't, however, appear to be working. I get a black line under my hitpoint monitor and that's it.

Wait, sorry. I'm getting the message like 'Damage: (at 100%)' but even when I've received damage, I'm not getting a readout as to how much. eg: Damage: -30 (at 9%)

What am I missing?

That's very weird. The only reason it wouldn't display anything would be if the neither of the variables hp or oldhp would be set. But if it triggers off the pattern, then hp will be automatically set, and then it should display atleast a value.

Thus, could you check if the variables hp, oldhp and hpmax are set?

If not, you could change the &hp and &hpmax into (%d)'s and in the code prior to the #echo type out:
#var hp %1
#var hpmax %2

If it still is not firing off, but only showing the "Damage: ". I don't really know.. I can't reproduce it.

Hmm, none of those variables are set that I can see. What do they need to be?

oki, change the trigger pattern then as I recommended above.

Cuz the variables hp and hpmax should be set automatically through the trigger, but apparently, smth's not set correctly for that to work.

So try with (%d)'s instead of the &hp and &hpmax in the pattern, etc. etc.

I Recently posted a script to the finished scripts forum that does pretty much exactly this.
copy and paste one of these version into your command line and hit enter

#NOOP ECHO Version
#TR {Hp: (%d) ~(%d~) Gp: %d} {
prompt.hpc=%eval(@prompt.hp-%1)
prompt.hp=%1
#ECHO Damage @prompt.hpc
} "" {prompt|nocr}

#NOOP Inline Prompt version
#TR {Hp: (%d) ~(%d~) Gp: %d} {
prompt.hpc=%eval(@prompt.hp-%1)
prompt.hp=%1
#PSUB {%1/@prompt.hpc} %x1
} "" {prompt|nocr}
