On Hidden Worlds we have up to a quad stab. I would like to keep track of how many single stabs, double stabs, triple stabs, and quad stabs.
Is there an easy way to do this.
The text from the mud for various stabs are as follows using the The Dali-Lama as any mobname. To further complicate things, out of a multistab you can have both hits and misses as shown below:

Single:
The Dali-Lama makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back

Double:
The Dali-Lama makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back!
The Dali-Lama makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back!

Triple:
The Dali-Lama makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back!
The Dali-Lama makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back!
The Dali-Lama makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back!

Quad
The Dali-Lama makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back!
The Dali-Lama makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back!
The Dali-Lama makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back!
The Dali-Lama makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back
Whiff:
The Dali-Lama quickly avoids your backstab, and you nearly sever your finger.

The whiff can be part or all of any of the above stabs.

#CLASS 0

That should give a pretty good counter type of thing with some basic statisticals.

Thank you.
However, i'm not getting it to give me how many of each stab i'm getting
Ie: how many singles, doubles, triples etc.
I already have a percentage of hit/miss of total stabs.
I was wondering if it was possible to recognize when a series of stabs took place on the game and keep track.

I guess I'm not getting it to either keep track of stabs or type of stabs as of yet. Although the variables show up in the editor they do not have a value other than 0 or 1

Thank you again for your time.

Same with me PigfarmerJr.
Dunno what the %ends part has to do with all this.

according to help ends:
Syntax: %ends(s1,s2)
true if s1 ends with s2
Examples:
#VAR LineFromMud "You are hungry."
#IF (%ends(@LineFromMud,".")) {#SAY not wrapped} {#SAY probably wrapped}
displays:
not wrapped

*shrug*

Evidently the alarm state is not firing correctly. Just change it to a pattern type and make the pattern blank so it fires on the next line received.

#CLASS BackStabTracker
#VARIABLE StabCount {0} {0}
#VARIABLE HitCount {0} {0}
#VARIABLE TotalCounts {}
#TRIGGER "StabCounter" {({makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back!|quickly avoids your backstab, and you nearly sever your finger.})$} {StabCount=1;HitCount=%ends("%1","!")}
#COND {({makes a strange sound, as you place The Master's Sickle in his back!|quickly avoids your backstab, and you nearly sever your finger.})$} {#ADD StabCount 1;#ADD HitCount %ends("%1","!");#STATE StabCounter 1} {within|param=1}
#COND {} {#ADDKEY TotalCounts Total {%eval(@TotalCounts.Total+1)};#ADDKEY TotalCounts {@StabCount} {%eval(%db(@TotalCounts,@StabCount)+1)};#ADDKEY TotalCounts Hits {@HitCount};#ADDKEY TotalCounts Swings {@StabCount};#ECHO Hit Rate: %eval(@TotalCounts.Hits*100/@TotalCounts.Swings) Stab Ratios 1:%eval(%db(@TotalCounts,"1")*100/@TotalCounts.Total) 2:%eval(%db(@TotalCounts,"2")*100/@TotalCounts.Total) 3:%eval(%db(@TotalCounts,"3")*100/@TotalCounts.Total) 4:%eval(%db(@TotalCounts,"4")*100/@TotalCounts.Total)}
#CLASS 0

The point of using %ends in my first post was that the '.' and '!' were short little ways to identify between hits and misses, and would give a result of 0 for a miss and a result of 1 for a hit. This allowed me to shortcut the script a bit instead of using some ugly #IF construct.

In anycase, all scripts I write here are untested unless otherwise stated. So there likely are some small bugs.

This time it's not even updating the StabCount & HitCount vars...weird..all i did was change the #cond {} and used what I had before which WAS updating them..
Question the #cond {}, does that mean that it's expecting a BLANK line? or just any text? Cause it could be either my prompt or another attack that happens after the last backstab hit

Try it with looplines and a param of 1. I never really documented the usage of a blank pattern with the various options since I found it quite by accident. So I often forget which ones it actually works with. If you still can't get it I will make some effort to do a little debug testing on my original version this weekend.

it just seems like the
#COND {({ Your backstab pimpslaps| Your backstab misses})} {#ADD StabCount 1;#ADD HitCount 1;#STATE StabCounter 1} {within|param=1}
is never even being triggered.
I can change the StabCount & HitCount vars to 0 and the initial backstab will change them back to 1, but after that nothing happens.
Thought I'd go another route with it:

How about setting up a variable that counts how many times you have attempted for that particular round and another trigger on your prompt to record into the appropriate variable of what you attempted and to reset the round count to 0. I have had to do similiar things to know when to dirt kick, quaff a healing potion, and also put in a backlog ticker variable to prevent having a backlog of various commands sent to the mud site.

I also have one trigger setup to know when I need to stand up during a fight, but included in it, rather than having to possibly end up standing up multiple times, it only sends it one time based on another variable that I have setup rather if the command has been sent or not and if it has been sent, has it been executed yet.

Sincerely,

You might have to add a #SET in here, at least it won't hurt. I still haven't done any debugging on this though.
#ADD HitCount 1;#SET StabCounter 1 0;#STATE StabCounter 1

Sorry, Vij, still not working.
Still is not adding.
working on something else with it now. me and #conds never seem to mix well.
Tho I WOULD rather have THIS version working....so far my different one is taking hella more work than i thought it would ;-)

Quick question Vij regarding this part:
