#if !%ismember doesn't work the way I want it to
|
Hello.
I'm trying to create a variable with stringlist. For some reason it doesn't work the way I want it to.
| Code: |
#trigger {^(*) casts '(*)' ~((*)~)}
#va whowascaster "%1"
#va whatwasspell "%3"
#if !%ismember( @whatwasspell, @whowascaster) {#va @whowascaster %additem( @whatwasspell, @whowascaster)}
|
It succesfully creates a variable with parsed @whowascaster but it has parsed value of @whowascaster and @whatwascast like this:
variable: helloworld value: helloworld|magic missile
And this is what I want it to look like:
variable: helloworld value: magic missile
And if I then happen to cast fireball, the variable would look like this:
variable: helloworld value: magic missile|fireball
Currently it just changes the latter string to what was the latest spell, like this:
variable: helloworld value: helloworld|fireball
What I'm trying to do is create a 'database' that has a list of all the spells people are able to cast.
I tried for test to do it like this:
| Code: |
#trigger {^helloworld casts '(*)' ~((*)~)}
#va whatwasspell "%3"
#if !%ismember( @whatwasspell, helloworld) {#va helloworld %additem( @whatwasspell, helloworld)}
|
That worked fine, I got a variable helloworld with correct stringlist
variable: helloworld value: magic missile|fireball
How could I accomplish this? |

If I am following this right you are capturing player names and spells cast. You are then looking to create/update variables that have a name matching the player name with the list of spells you have seen them cast. Again if I am right then what you are looking for is a level of indirection. To further shorten this I will use the #ADDITEM command as it automatically eliminates duplicates.
#trigger {^(*) casts '(*)' ~((*)~)} {
#va whowascaster "%1"
#va whatwasspell "%3"
#ADDITEM @whowascaster {@whatwasspell}
} |

That seems to work great, thank you!
On a related note, is it possible to search variables.
Like, if I don't remember who I am, could I do something like /find hello which would search variables in specific class and return all matches to hello.
Like this:
#find caster hello
where #find would be the command, 'caster' would be the class folder and 'hello' would be a part of the word I'm searching for.
returns:
helloworld magic missile|fireball
helloearth magic missile|melfs acid arrow |

There is nothing I know of to do that. However you can use the Settings Editor to display only Variables in a specific class or all classes and sort them by name.

Sorry to dig this thread back up.
It seems that adding a value to a variable bugs when there are more than one word in it. Eg. #va hello world acid arrow would produce variable 'hello' with values 'world|acid arrow', and it will not capture additional spells cast, but rather change the value already existing.
I tried to do '#additem "@whowascaster" {"@whatwasspell"}' but appearantly it won't parse them anymore and rather shows the values as @whowascaster and @whatwasspell instead of 'helloworld' and 'magic missile'.
How do I fix this? :) |

If you add an item to a variable, with a variable that already has more than one item, the resulting variable will contain 1 item, with all the items in the added variable like this
#ADDITEM whowascaster @whatwasspell
would leave the variable like this
Whowascaster = (world|acid arrow)
#ADDITEM whowascaster "@whatwasspell"
That shouldnt leave both items with the () but both alone each like this
Whowascaster = world|acid arrow |

If I understand your problem correctly, the problem being that your variable name will sometimes be more than one word, then this should work:
#ADDITEM %replace(@whowascaster, " ", "") {@whatwasspell}
This should get rid of any spaces in the @whowascaster variable, making it "helloworld" rather than "hello world". Or, as an alternate, you could change the way the variable is captured. If you're using Vigilante's script, just change the
#VA whowascaster "%1"
to
#VA whowascaster %replace("%1", " ", "")
This is of course if I'm understanding your problem correctly, ignore me if I misinterpreted what you said. |
