Greetings,
I am a first-time poster to the forums here, but a long-time user of Zmud.

I am posting my query in this thread, and if its not the right place to post these requests, I apologize in advance.

I'm looking for some help to create triggers for ArmageddonMUD.

Here are the details:
1) My PC has 2 types of spells - offensive and defensive.
2) Each spell can be cast at different power levels (ranging from 1 to 7).
3) Each spell has a unique name (i.e. heal, shield etc etc).

What I need help with is creating a set of triggers in Zmud which will help me record and show me:
1) The number of times each spell has been cast, and at each power level.
2) The number of times each spell was cast successfully (trigger is on ^Ok.), totally, and at each power level.
3) The number of times each spell failed (trigger is on ^You lost your concentration.) totally, and at each power level.

To give you an example:
Spell: Heal
Type: Defensive

I would ideally like to have something like:

command = showme heal

You have cast heal totally 200 times. 5 times at level 1, 20 times at level 2, 100 times at level 3, 50 times at level 4, 0 times at level 5, 0 times at level 6 and 25 times at level 7.

You have successfully cast heal totally 180 times. 5 times at level 1, 20 times at level 2, 80 times at level 3, 0 times at level 4, 0 times at level 5, 0 times at level 6 and 25 times at level 7.

You have failed heal totally 20 times. 0 times at level 1, 0 times at level 2, 20 times at level 3, 0 times at level 4, 0 times at level 5, 0 times at level 6 and 0 times at level 7.

command = showme defensive - would show me all the details for all the spells labelled as "defensive".

command = showme all - would show me all the above details for all the spells.

Could someone please help me out with this? I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance.

1st step on that would be to post mud text that shows each of those successes.
like do you SEE a msg like:
You cast "heal" at power level 5

or something?

if there ISN'T anything that shows up on the screen EXCEPT an "OK" then what is the exact command that you enter to perform a power lvl 5 heal?

Might wind up making the casts as #oninputs with various if's

Actually,
#AL shield {cast ~'%1 shield~' %2;#VAR spellpower {%1}}

so that you dont really need to change to much typing.
shield 2 vitae

The rest is something else.
I'll have to see what I can come up with. Shouldnt be to hard...i think...(i always say that then do exactly what my sig pic does)

Edit:
Made a mistake on the alias. Corrected now. Tho as it is now to just do the casting the #var isn't needed even.

Thanks for all the help Vitae.

I would really appreciate if someone could take some more time out and help me with my original request though.

Thanks in advance,

I haven't played there in a very long time.

For those kinds of muds I usually do something like this:

#VAR Spells %null

#alias cast {
#ADDITEM Spells.List %2_%1
#ADDKEY Spells Casted_%2_%1 1
#SH ~cast '%1 %2' %3
#TEmP casttemp {^({Ok|You lost your concentration!})} {#IF (%%1 == "Ok") {#ADDKEY Spells Failed_%2_%1 1} {#ADDKEY Spells Success_%2_%1 1}}
}

Syntax: Showme shield
#ALIAS SHOWME {
#FORALL "one|two|three|four|five|six|seven" {
#IF (%ismember(%1_%i,@Spells.List)) {
#SHOW Spell %1 stats: Casted %db(@Spells,Casted_%1_%i) Success %db(@Spells,Success_%1_%i) Failures %db(@Spells,Failed_%1_%i)
}
}
}
Output if you have just casted shield levels one and three:
Spell shield_one stats: Casted 200 Success 50 Failures 150
Spell shield_three stats: Casted 200 Success 50 Failures 150

Syntax: SHOWMEALL
#ALIAS SHOWMEALL {#FORALL @Spells.List {SHOWME %i}}
Output if you have just casted shield levels one and three and heal level one:
Spell shield_one stats: Casted 200 Success 50 Failures 150
Spell shield_three stats: Casted 200 Success 50 Failures 150
Spell heal_one stats: Casted 200 Success 50 Failures 150

Untested but you get the idea. I used a database variable so you dont get a zillion variables about.
You can use the %format command or %tab if you want to straighten out the output.
