Howdy,

I was wondering if I could get a little assistance please.

I am currently trying to create a button that autotracks my experience, and changes color when it maxes out.

Currently using zMUD v7.04

The lines of intrest are:

Capture line from a kill:

You receive your share of experience -- 1358 points.

Minimum Exp - 0
Maximum Exp - (shown in score as: 2,040,000,000) (shown everywhere else as) 2040000000

Basically every 2.04 billion experience, I must spend my experience in order to continue leveling. I simply was trying to create some sort of gauge to keep me informed so I didn't have to keep typing out score as I was fighting.

Also is it possible for it to change color as it raises? something like:

0 - Experience (Grey)
500,000,000 - Exp (Green)
1,000,000,000 - Exp (Cyan
1,500,000,000 - Exp (Blue)
2,040,000,000 - MAX (Red)

Thanks in advance,

Magister.

Something like this might work :-). Obviously a trigger/alias to reset the currentExp variable back to 0 after levelling might be needed.

#CLASS {expbutton}
#VAR currentExp {0}
#VAR buttonColor {gray}
#TRIGGER {You receive your share of experience -- (%d) points.} {
currentExp = %mss( @currentExp+%1)
buttonColor = "red"
#if (%mss( @currentExp < 2040000000) = -1) {buttonColor=%eval( %color( hi)+%color( blue))}
#if (%mss( @currentExp < 1500000000) = -1) {buttonColor="cyan"}
#if (%mss( @currentExp < 1000000000) = -1) {buttonColor="green"}
#if (%mss( @currentExp < 500000000) = -1) {buttonColor="gray"}
#noop %btncol( xpbutton, brown, @buttonColor)
}
#BUTTON 1 {%mss(FormatNumber(@currentExp, 0)) Exp} {} {} {} {} {} {} {Size} {100} {23} {} {} {} {103} {} {} {} "" {} {} {xpbutton}
#CLASS 0

Thanks for the reply Rorso.

Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but could you walk me through this step by step because I tried to create everything, and it's not working...

Ie:

Click Class, click new, name =
Click Variable, click new, name = , default = , value =
Click Trigger, click new, pattern = , value =
Click Button, click new, kind = , caption = , value = ,

(Currently I have the button set to gauge, but it has 3 headers: Value, Gauge Max, Gauge Low .. what goes in value? Gauge max and low I figure is just the 0 and 2.04 numbers.)

Also if a trigger to reset the currentExp variable back to 0 is needed, what would that look like?

Thanks again.

P.s. I am also getting the following error message:

Scriptting language 0)) exp} {} {} {} {} {} {} {size} {100} {23} {} {} {} {103} {} {} {} "" {} {} {xpbutton} not supported

followed by:

error evaluating: format number (@currentexp) invalid character (error 1032) on line 1, colum 14

Try doing this:
1. Create a new class folder named "expbutton".
2. Copy the script in my post excluding the #class lines
3. In zMUD select the <none> class and then click the "expbutton" class in the rightmost list.
4. Select "Class Script"
5. Paste between the "#class .... #class" commands and click the 'Save' button.
