Trouble with variable
|
I'm trying to create a simple script that enables my map to move when I follow someone on the mud. What I have is a set of two triggers and for some reason it doesn't work.
#TRIGGER {You now follow %w.} {#VAR leader %1} {leader}
#TRIGGER {^@leader leaves %w.} {#MOVE %1} {leader}
Anyone know why this doesn't work or can give me a script that does work? |

You need parenthesis around the %w's. Also, brackets around the variable are good.
#TRIGGER {You now follow (%w).} {#VAR leader %1} {leader}
#TRIGGER {^{@leader} leaves (%w).} {#MOVE %1} {leader} |

A quick recommendation: Most muds send a line that matches something like "You follow (%w) ({north|south|east|west}) to (*)" after they send the line that said the leader left. If there's any possibility of the leader going and you not going (your leg is broken, you're stuck, you're in combat, etc..) then you should use that second message as the trigger pattern for moving your map pointer.
Achaea is a lot like this, though I think you don't see that your leader left if you actually follow them. Here is the trigger that I use to make my maps follow me on Achaea:
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {you follow * ({@refDirections}) to (*)} {
#move %1
#if (%left( %roomname( ), %len( %2)) != %2) {#echo ~<color red~>~<bold~>MAP IS OUT OF SYNC~</bold~>~</color~>}
}
#VAR refDirections {north|northeast|east|southeast|south|southwest|west|northwest|up|down|in|out} {north|northeast|east|southeast|south|southwest|west|northwest|up|down|in|out} |
I don't restrict the pattern match on who I'm following for a couple reasons:
sometimes Achaea gives titles plus names, which we all know messes things up.
It's possible to get forced to follow someone in Achaea and I want my map in sync so that I can run away quickly.
There is a deficiency in this trigger that I will fix someday (or I'll post it here and let Vij or Dhark fix it for me): If the mud output spills onto the next line, it doesn't get captured and only the first bit of the room name is used for the match. |
