Hi,

got a few problems with a set of triggers that i'm trying to use for harvesting, in achaea.

Example Text:

A bloodroot plant (bloodroot) 15 left.

your only allowed to harvest the herbs down to 15, so the trigger i use is:

Pattern:
(*)bloodroot(*)%s%1 left.

Value:
#if (%1 < 11) {harnumber = 0}
#if (%1 > 10) {har bloodroot (%1-10)}

and this works fine, aslong as there is only one type of plant in the area. The problem comes when there is more than one, so say 2 or three, which look like this:

Irid moss (irid moss) 15 left.
A bloodroot plant (bloodroot) 10 left.
A valerian plant (valerian) 15 left.

or this

Irid moss (irid moss) 15 left.
A bloodroot plant (bloodroot) 10 left.

what will happen is that it will trigger to harvest the moss, but then also triggers to not harvest the bloodroot, setting the harnumber to 0, and only ends up harvesting 1 moss, instead of 5. If it was like this:

Irid moss (irid moss) 10 left.
A bloodroot plant (bloodroot) 15 left.

There wouldn't be any problems, because it would be 0 then 5. Anyone have any ideas on hos to make it harvest the first trigger it hits, before moving onto any others?

Hope you can all understand what i'm going on about :)

Thanks heaps

Well as you are using literal herb names, I would guess using vars for each of them would overcome the difficulty (though I am not sure why it is happening...)

If there is a limit on harvesting X amount of herbs per Harvest (which I think is the case), copy and paste this:

#ALIAS HarvestNow {#t+ HARVESTING;#t- HARVESTING|HarvestTrigs;plants}

Then copy all this:

#CLASS HARVESTING
#VAR ExcessHerb 0
#VAR HarAmount 0
#VAR CurrentHerb %null
#ALIAS ExcessHerb {#math ExcessHerb (@haramount-10)}
#ALIAS PlantValues {#if (@excessherb > 10) {excessherb;haramount=10};#if (@excessherb <= 10) {haramount=@excessherb}}
#TRIGGER {^The following plants are growing in this room:$} {#T+ HarvestTrigs}
#TRIGGER {You have finished harvesting or You have recovered Balance etc} {#if (@excessherb > 0) {plantvalues;harvest @currentherb @haramount} {plants}}
#TRIGGER {^* ~((herbnamehere)~) %s (%d) left.$} {#if (%2>15) {haramount=%2;#if (%2 > 10) {#t- HarvestTrigs;CurrentHerb=herbnamehere;excessherb;haramount=10};harvest @currentherb @haramount}} "HARVESTING|HarvestTrigs"
#CLASS 0

You can only harvest by using the abbreviated herb name if it is 2 words, correct? As in, HARVEST RED ELM would not work.. whereas HARVEST ELM would. Again, the red text needs to be changed - I took a guess at 10 plants per harvest. Finishing the harvest/recovering balance needs to be changed, I don't know what message you receive when you have finished harvesting and are able to harvest another batch of plants. The third trigger needs to be copied, and modified for each type of plant you wish to harvest.

Type HARVESTNOW, and let it run. Untested.

Phew, noticed a lot of mistakes. I'm tired, if you get any errors or anything let me know. -passes out-

Little more clarification please, are you trying to harvest only "A bloodroot plant (bloodroot) 15 left." or harvest herbs with "(bloodroot)"?
