capture windows
|
i've got what is probably a really easy problem i'm just not seeing:
i want to capture the chat channel and the clanchat channel to two different windows.
the problem is, when someone talks over chat channel, the output is:
Bob chats ' hi '
and for clanchat, it's:
Bob clanchats ' hi '
so the obvious problem is that clanchats get interpreted as chats (because the word 'chats' also appears in the word 'clanchats')!
the clanchats channel gets captured by both the 'chats' window, and the 'clanchats' window.
anyone know of an easy way to remedy this?

Include the spaces in your " chats " and your " clanchats " triggers.

Okay Vijilante....here's another one for you...:)
My chat windows all work fine. There's just one problem:
Dumbass immortals on my game like to take dumb things people say over chat and place them at the top of the "Who" list.
With the chat captures active, everytime I look at the Who list, it captures the string just as if it was actually just said over the chat channel.
I thought about adding a ^ at the beginning of the capture, to make sure it only worked on strings that started the line, but that screwed up the whole capture.
I would just do something like this:
but there's another issue. Sometimes the player's name is followed by a sobriquet like "the werewolf" or "the demon", etc...at which point that capture doesn't work anymore.
So to recap, here are the patterns to match (all begin their own line):
| Quote: |
Player chats 'example'
Player the something chats 'example' |
Any help you got (or anyone else who reads this) would be appreciated.

%1 is supposed to equate to *, and should in fact be capturing "Name the werewolf". Typical users don't want all this captured, which is why we say not to use it in trigger patterns.
One trick you could try would be to use a pattern that matches the name portion followed by a stringlist pattern to match the possible inclusion/exclusion of the sobriquet:
^%w{ the %w|} chats 'example' |

See, that's what I thought too. In the Pattern Matching tutorial on this site (which is the same as the helpfile in zMud) it says that * is for
| Quote: |
| any number (even none) of characters or white space |
I thought it would've been perfect but of course it doesn't work at all.
I'll try the
| Code: |
| ^%w{ the %w|} chats 'example' |
and let you know.
Thx!

Well, simplest method for me to do would be to put your triggers for Bob chats 'blah.' and bob clanchats 'blah.' in a separate class fold.
#alias wholist {#t- classfolder;#alarm +1.5 {#t+ classfolder}} |
