Hello!
I am brand new to zmud, and it rocks! It's the best thing.... ever.
I play on an Achaea-style mud, and I am having problems figuring out a autoheal script.
Here is the situation:
In PVP, certain classes can double-afflict 'venoms' that can only be cured by eating specific plants. The trick is, there is a plant 'balance' system that only allows you to eat a plant once every few seconds. So, this defeats simple triggers. One of the afflictions will get through without being cured.
Here is what I need the script to do:
Heal the first affliction, and upon recieving balance to eat another plant, it automatically eats the plant that cures the SECOND affliction.
Here is the trick: Wink

It is possible to get double-teamed, or get tied up to where you cant eat and cure the affliction, so I will need the list to stack, and the script to heal the afflictions in order of recieving them. I believe #additem would work here, but I havn't even broke the surfacr of the power of zmud.

Here are some sample texts for you insane zmud gurus that might want to take a stab at part, or all of this mighty script:

Combat Affliction Delivery:
Crazylegs swings at you with all of his might.
You stumble, and groan feebly.
Crazylegs jabs a sword at you.
Your lungs tighten and you have problems breathing.

In this case, say valerian would cure the first affliction, and kelp would cure the second. I would:
outb kelp
eat kelp
to cure.

The message to inform that I can eat another plant again is:
You may eat another plant or herb again.

The cure messages for each of the afflictions respectively are:
Your bones regain their strength.
Your lungs open up, and you can breathe again.

I havn't seen anyone discuss the new #cond power in this forum yet, so maybe one of you guys can crush this script, and enlighten us all!
Thanks again!!

#cond is powerful indeed, but it may not be required in this case.

Here is an example of how you can script this problem:

#COND actually can work quite well in Achaean type healing systems, but not as

#TRIGGER {Affliction message} {Cure it;add affliction}
#COND {cured message} {remove affliction}

there are to many afflcitons messages for the same cure messages
I have found that they do work quite well for multi-line affliction verifying

#Trigger {someone kicks you} {}
#Cond {Your leg is greatly damaged} {Cure damaged leg;Add affliction} {within|param=1}

Thye also work well in auto resets of balances

#ONINPUT "applyrest" {apply restoration} {#Var Applying 1}
#COND {} {#VAR Applying 0} {wait|param=1000}

#TRIGGER "appliedrest" {you apply restoration} {#VAR Applying 0;#VAR Salvebal 0;#STATE applyrest 0}
#COND {} {#VAR Salvebal 1} {wait|param=6000}

#TRIGGER {You may apply another salve} {#VAR Salvebal 0;#STATE appliedrest 0}

Hmmm,
That almost works Pega,exept:
In the first line for the afflictiondetection variable, you listed two of the affliction messages. There are close to, if not more, than 100 or so such messages. I think I could buckle down and do the work, but I just wonder if that will work ok. I could add the plants to cure them in order in the afflictioncure variable.
Also, your balancedetection variable should probably trigger to the text 'You may eat another herb or plant', right?
If not, then I am way confused!

Serentus,
I am trying to figure out what those two leg damage scripts do exactly. At first glance, I though the last one would determine if you needed to apply another salve to your leg, and would do so when it sees the text, 'You may apply another salve', but I dont see where in the script it would know to apply, or not apply.
I'm Zmud challenged it appears! A little harder than the first glance gave me!
Thanks again for your time gentlemen. I appreciate it!

The reason you didn't see the last one determining if you need another salve or not is because it's not there. What i posted was just some generic skeleton code.

If you want to check if you need another salve that is one place you could do it. depending on how you keep track of if you need another salve, when you heal, and stuff like that determines where you put thing. The way my system is I can't do it there. They way yours is, you may be able to.
