Complicated Trigger Question
|
OK, First I have an alias... it looks like this:
| Code: |
Name: aff
Value: ...
@AffectsCheck = 1
@GrandTime = 0
@MystTime = 0
@HasteTime = 0
affects
|
Then I have 3 triggers, otherwise known as "time set" triggers:
| Code: |
Pattern: SPL: ~(%s(%d)hr~) grand sanctuary -20 to ARMORsets GRANDSANC$
Value: #VAR GrandTime %1
Pattern: SPL: ~(%s(%d)hr~) haste sets HASTE$
Value: #VAR HasteTime %1
Pattern: SPL: ~(%s(%d)hr~) healing myst -1 to ARMOR$
Value: #VAR MystTime %1
|
and finally, I have a trigger that fires whenever my prompt is received:
| Code: |
Pattern: ^(%d)H (%d)M (%d)V >
Value: ...
#VAR AffectsOutput ""
#IF (@AffectsCheck=0) {#ABORT 1}
@AffectsCheck = 0
#IF (@GrandTime>=1) {#VAR AffectsOutput %concat( @AffectsOutput, "\cGGrand Sanctuary \cehas\cR @GrandTime \cetick~(s~) left. ")} {#VAR AffectsOutput %concat( @AffectsOutput, "\cGGrand Sanctuary \ceis off. ")}
#IF (@MystTime>=1) {#VAR AffectsOutput %concat( @AffectsOutput, "\cBHealing Myst \cehas\cR @MystTime \cetick~(s~) left. ")} {#VAR AffectsOutput %concat( @AffectsOutput, "\cBHealing Myst \ceis off. ")}
#IF (@HasteTime>=1) {#VAR AffectsOutput %concat( @AffectsOutput, "\cRHaste \cehas\cR @HasteTime \cetick~(s~) left. ")} {#VAR AffectsOutput %concat( @AffectsOutput, "\cRHaste \ceis off. ")}
say %trim( @AffectsOutput)
#UNVAR AffectsOutput
|
So basically, what this does when I type "aff" is fires the alias first, which zero's out all the Time variables, and sets AffectsCheck to 1 for later. Then it sends the "Affects" command to my MUD which in turn outputs results like:
| Code: |
4714H 1042M 643V > SPL: ( 15hr) metalskin -40 to ARMOR
SPL: ( 1hr) thornflesh -1 to CHA
SPL: ( 1hr) thornflesh -1 to DEX
SPL: ( 1hr) thornflesh +8 to DAMROLL
SPL: ( 3hr) electric shield sets ELECSHIELD
SPL: ( 10hr) healing myst -1 to ARMOR
SPL: ( 13hr) protection from evil sets PROT-EVIL
SPL: (277hr) seeker +6 to HITROLL
SPL: ( 1hr) haste sets HASTE
SPL: ( 12hr) all around sight sets ALLAROUNDSIGHT
4714H 1042M 648V >
|
So, when this is received, each of the 3 check triggers fire if that line is found - each of those work fine and properly store the %dhr part into the relative variables.
Then, a new prompt is recieved and since @AffectsCheck is set to 1, it concats a few strings depending on what Time variables got set, and outputs the result.
NOW, the problem is... on occasion, the prompt trigger seems to fire off the "say" command as seen above BEFORE one or two of the "time set" triggers fire, making the output display incorrect data. Ie. it seems to be firing triggers in the incorrect order for some reason, even tho the lines are sent to the client from the mud server in the order I expect them.
What this does, is on occasion (it happens most often with HASTE)... I get this:
| Code: |
4714H 1042M 643V > SPL: ( 15hr) metalskin -40 to ARMOR
SPL: ( 1hr) thornflesh -1 to CHA
SPL: ( 1hr) thornflesh -1 to DEX
SPL: ( 1hr) thornflesh +8 to DAMROLL
SPL: ( 3hr) electric shield sets ELECSHIELD
SPL: ( 10hr) healing myst -1 to ARMOR
SPL: ( 13hr) protection from evil sets PROT-EVIL
SPL: (277hr) seeker +6 to HITROLL
SPL: ( 1hr) haste sets HASTE
SPL: ( 12hr) all around sight sets ALLAROUNDSIGHT
4714H 1042M 648V > You say, in a jolly voice, 'Grand Sanctuary is off. Healing Myst has 10 tick(s) left. Haste is off.'
|
Even tho haste is actually 1... and it happens with any value for them as well, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc)...
Also, although it does happen more often with haste, it happens for others as well.
If I add a "#SHOW test" to the "time set" trigger for haste, I get this:
| Code: |
4714H 1042M 771V > SPL: ( 5hr) haste sets HASTE
SPL: ( 8hr) widowmaker +15 to ARMOR
SPL: ( 8hr) widowmaker +3 to DAMROLL
SPL: ( 8hr) widowmaker +3 to HITROLL
SPL: ( 6hr) thornflesh -1 to CHA
SPL: ( 6hr) thornflesh -1 to DEX
SPL: ( 6hr) thornflesh +8 to DAMROLL
SPL: ( 3hr) regen sets REGEN
SPL: ( 9hr) metalskin -40 to ARMOR
SPL: ( 4hr) healing myst -1 to ARMOR
SPL: ( 7hr) protection from evil sets PROT-EVIL
SPL: (271hr) seeker +6 to HITROLL
SPL: ( 6hr) all around sight sets ALLAROUNDSIGHT
4714H 1042M 771V > You say, in a jolly voice, 'Grand Sanctuary is off. Healing Myst has 4 tick(s) left. Haste is off.'
test
4714H 1042M 771V >
|
... informing me that the "time set" trigger for HASTE gets fired WAY after the prompt trigger... for some reason which I cannot determine!
Sorry if this was long winded, I hope I didn't make it more confusing then it really is - I just wanted to make the problem understood the best I could. And as always, any help would be appreciated.

I've only glanced at your script, but a huge glaring error is how you're trying to define variables. The syntax for setting, e.g. the variable @test to "testing" is:
| Quote: |
test = "testing"
or
#VAR test {testing}
|
Because you're using the @ character when trying to set variables, it's not going to work. Remove @ from every line that sets a variable and try it again. |

Alright, I changed any variable assignments to not include the @. And tried one at a time getting the 3 spells I check for and running hte alias after each. This is what I get:
| Code: |
3949H 949M 771V > SPL: ( 11hr) all around sight sets ALLAROUNDSIGHT

SPL: ( 64hr) detect invisibility sets DET-INVIS
SPL: ( 21hr) protection from evil sets PROT-EVIL
SPL: ( 4hr) thornflesh +8 to DAMROLL
SPL: ( 4hr) thornflesh -1 to DEX
SPL: ( 4hr) thornflesh -1 to CHA

I have no clue why, but first I acquired grand sanc, and the script worked as you can see... I then acquired healing myst and the script again worked fine. I then acquired haste and everything stops working. The "time trigger" for haste is the exact same as grand and myst, except it stores the value into @HasteTime instead of @GrandTime/@MystTime.
Arg so frustrating. |

Hmmm... Actually, right after my last post I got to playing around with the prompt trigger's options and uncheked "Newline" and instead checked "Prompt" and it seems to be working like a charm now... not sure exactly why, could anybody explain reasoning?

This is just a guess, but I'm thinking that it's because your MUD doesn't send a carriage return when it gives your prompt, which is what the "newline" option looks for.
