Hi, I am trying to write a script, that will keep a tally on how many times, a character has hit a certain mob. The hard part, is that there will be many characters who hit the mob. I have set up variables, for HOW they can hit the mob, and for what it will say.
Here is the trigger I have, to capture when a person is using a weapon.
#TR {^(%w)~'s~ {@dam1}~ {@dam2}~ (*)~.} {#AD %1 1}

The two variables: The first, is what weapontype, and the second, is the actual dam amount. Two Examples of possible damages, are here:
Players's pierce barely scratches the Executioner.
Players's pound scuffs the Executioner.

Player, naturally, is the character, pierce + pound, is the weapontype, and barely scratches + scuffs, is the dam amount.

Now, the trigger I have keeps a tab of how many times the player (Or Multiple players, it will make a new variable for each) hit's said mob. What I want to know, is if there is a way to record the players name, into like a list, and still keep track of how many times they have hit it. And also a way to use an alias, to call up a list (Via #EC), of the players names, and how many times they have hit the mob. Is this possible? And any help that could be given, would be much appreciated.

sure, i think i have the solution. besides more complicated solutions involving parallel string lists, arrays, or databases, i think what you'll want to do is use a string list containing the names of each person/variable.

#TR {^(%w)~'s~ {@dam1}~ {@dam2}~ (*)~.} {#AD %1 1;#additem people %1}

then when you want to access the list, try this:

#forall @people {#show %i @{%i}}

Hrm.. One last thing.. is there a way to remove all of the created variables easily? or do I just delete them by hand?

sure,
#unvar people

and then when you start again it'll be reset

No.. that just removes the people variable.. every person who hit, becomes a variable.
So their value's still stay the same, if you just remove the people variable.

#FORALL @people {#UNVAR @{%i}}

Of course, you run the risk of someone having a name that matches some other variable you use. That's why "more complicated solutions involving parallel string lists, arrays, or databases" are preferred (because, in the long run they're simpler). Assuming your pattern works

#TR {^(%w)~'s~ {@dam1}~ {@dam2}~ (*)~.} {#AD people.%1 1}
To view the list:
#LOOPDB @people {#SHOW %key %val}
And to clear the list, you can just remove ONE variable (or set it to "" if you prefer):
#UNVAR people

Thanks to both of you :) As for the person having the same name.. I am very careful with things like that, every variable I have, has at least a letter and a number usually, to prevent such accidents. :)
