Achaea Trigger help in spacing
|
I need some help with spacing on triggers, more specifically, how to space out a trigger to pick up info from the Elixlist skill and put proper vials into the proper places. Right now I am unsure of how to set the trigger so that it handles the spacing that the mud sends in the list of vials when you use the skill. If I use:
#trigger {(%w) vial(%d) (%*) (%d) (%d)} {} and the mud sends the line:
Birchwood vial34656 an epidermal salve 45 88
It doesn't trigger due to the spaces in between the different pieces of information. If I test the trigger with the line:
Birchwood vial34656 an epidermal salve 45 88
%1 = Birchwood
%2 = 134656
%3 = an epidermal salve
%4 = 45
%5 = 88
What keeps the (%*) from returning <an epidermal salve 45 88> since the "*" designates any character?
Hope someone can answer my questions. You can message Tiam, Darhvon, or Solvanis in Achaea if you wish to help me. |

The (%*) doesn't match 45 and 88 because they are required to match the two (%d)'s that follow it.
I'd recommend using (*) instead of (%*). You don't appear to have any need for more matching than * will provide. |

To take care of the variable number of spaces, use %s in your trigger.
#tr {(%w) vial(%d)%s(*)%s(%d)%s(%d)} {process parameters...}
Should take care of your problem, I think.
