Zugg Software :: View topic - Auto-roller for Distant Lands

I'm kinda new to muds, and triggers in general, I have no Idea how to program them. I want to create an auto-roller for a Mud called Distant Lands (www.dl2.net)

The rolling screen looks like this(though it's much better spaced) :
STR INT WIS DEX CON CHR LCK
1) 13 11 11 9 9 12 11
2) 14 10 10 6 6 10 13
3) 14 10 15 11 10 16 14
4) 11 9 13 8 8 9 8
5) 13 9 12 14 7 12 10
6) 7 9 14 8 6 12 15

[Select 1-6, q to quit, h for help, or enter for more choices]:

Highest roll is 18 in each category. I use zMud version 7.04 currently. I can pick classes and races later. I would really like something I could copy and paste.

Thanks for any input you can offer!

Can you say what you want to actually be done? We could assume that you want have it keep rolling until a certain set of numbers within range or of all 18s appears, but then that would be assuming.

You got it right on the money, 16+ is usually suitable. I want it cause it took me almost two hours to get a decent roll last time... So I want it to keep rolling automatically till it finds a good roll, and then ask me what I want to do, accept it, or keep rolling.

#CLASS autoroller
#TRIGGER {STR INT WIS DEX CON CHR LCK} {#VAR bestroll {0};#VAR bestrolltotal {0}}
#TRIGGER {(%d)~) (%d) (%d) (%d) (%d) (%d) (%d)} {#IF (%2 >= 16 & %3 >= 16 & %4 >= 16 & %5 >= 16 & %6 >= 16 & %7 >= 16) {#IF (%eval(%2 + %3 + %4 + %5 + %6 + %7) > @bestrolltotal) {#VAR bestroll {%1};#VAR bestrolltotal {%eval(%2 + %3 + %4 + %5 + %6 + %7)}}}}
#TRIGGER {~[Select 1-6, q to quit, h for help, or enter for more choices~]:} {#IF (@bestroll = 0) {#CR} {#IF (%prompt("y", %concat("Roll ", @bestroll, " was found to be suitable. Do you want to accept it [y/n]?")) = "y") {#SEND @bestroll} {#CR}}} "" {nocr|prompt}
#CLASS 0

You'll have to insert %s in the patterns where you expect multiple spaces.

cool, where in the code does that have to go, in the trigger statement, or in the #IF statements?

Put any %s that are needed in the trigger patterns instead of the spaces. The patterns are what is inside the first set of curly braces after each #TRIGGER command, like:

STR INT WIS DEX CON CHR LCK

So, let's assume for example that between each attribute name there may be multiple spaces, the pattern would then look like:

STR%sINT%sWIS%sDEX%sCON%sCHR%sLCK

Cool, I think I got it, Thanks very much!
