IF's, COND's, and TEMP's, Oh my
|
okay this is for a alias named "defup3". What it should do is look and see if @splitmind is false and if it is, execute "split mind" and "def" then abort the alias, then when the message "You have recovered equilibrium." comes up run the defup3 alias again (presumablably with @splitmind=1 this time) and continue with the rather lengthy rest of the alias containing similar statments, however what happens is when the "You have recovered equilibrium." comes up, not a dang thing happens. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Here's the code.
#if @splitmind=0 {
split mind
#temp {You have recovered equilibrium.} {defup3}
#abort 1
} {}
#if @deathsight=0 {
deathsight
#cond {You have recovered equilibrium.} {defup3}
#abort 1
} {}
....and so on and so on |

Try reading the article on Advanced Triggers in the Support section. Your deathsight portion is using the #COND command incorrectly, and could have adverse side affects (or more likely, no effects at all).
Some people use temp triggers for deffing up and others use multi-state triggers with #COND, but it's really a matter of personal preference, I suppose. |

You have the "split mind" command but you left out the "def" command.
#CONDITION adds a state to the last trigger created. You don't want to add states to random triggers which have nothing to do with those triggers, and you also don't want to add infinite numbers of states. This alias will add a state to some trigger every time that @splitmind <> 0 and @deathsight = 0. Don't use #CONDITION unless you know what trigger it will add to.
You have a problem which is related to recursive scripting. The script of your TEMP trigger includes the ALIAS defup3. The TEMP doesn't complete its script until the ALIAS is finished, right after your ABORT command, at which time it promptly deletes itself. Since the last command in each section of your ALIAS probably includes another identical TEMP trigger, they get deleted as fast as they get made. The result is that your alias will probably only succeed in making the TEMP trigger every other time it runs.
A better solution might be a permanent trigger with a variable that tells it what to do.
#TR {You have recovered equilibrium} {#IF (@equil) {#EXEC @equil} {#NOOP}}
#AL defup4 {
#IF (@splitmind = 0) {
split mind
#VAR equil defup4
#ABORT 1
}
#IF (@deathsight = 0) {
deathsight
#VAR equil defup4
#ABORT 1
}
#VAR equil 0
}
The last command in the alias should set @equil to a null-string or 0, so you don't come back to the alias again after everything is done. |

I'm having trouble with the most basic of triggers, it just doesn't seem to work...
#TRIGGER {{Y|*}ou eat a goldenseal root.} {#noop}
#COND {(%d)h, (%d)m *} {GoldensealReset} {within|param=1}
Goldenseal just resets a bunch variables to 0... |

Please start a New Topic with your question. It has little, if any, bearing on the current topic.
