Hey everybody I need some help with a script I'm trying to do. I have a nice potion usage counter but it needs improvement. What I'm trying to do is make it pull information from a database to display how many sips I have left in a vial total. Obviously this would require me updating the database everytime I got a new vial of something. Thus I also need help with an alias or something that will update the DB for me so that I won't have to do it manually on a constant basis. If you could help me out with this please do so. Thank you in advance. Smile

Here is a link to the current script I'm using.

If nothing else could someone atleast point me to a help file where I can learn about controlling Databases via scripting in zmud ? I am more than willing to learn on my own.

The amount of sips you have left isn't dependent upon any single vial. Therefore, I think a much easier solution would lie in an echo readout based off of the 'HC'/'MC' variable.

Something like this:

#CLASS Sipping
#VAR healthcount 0
#VAR manacount 0
#VAR lastvial %null
#ALIAS HC {healthcount=%1}
#ALIAS MC {manacount=%1}
#ALIAS hsip {#echo @healthcount health sips left.}
#ALIAS msip {#echo @manacount mana sips left.}
#ALIAS dh {drink health;lastvial=0}
#ALIAS dm {drink mana;lastvial=1}
#TRIGGER {The elixir heals and soothes you.} {#add healthcount -1;hsip}
#TRIGGER {Your mind feels stronger and more alert.} {#add manacount -1;msip}
#TRIGGER {The elixir flows down your throat without effect.} {#if (@lastvial=0) {#add healthcount -1};#if (@lastvial=1) {#add manacount -1}}
#CLASS 0

This will give echo to you how many sips you have left after every sip of health or mana, providing you use the DH/DM aliases. To get a manual readout of either type of vial, type 'hsip' or 'msip'. Simple, yet effective.
