team attacking and variables, and %item
|
Hey, was wondering if anyone could help with this problem..
I have a variable that lists the animals following me (@animalentorage) which can have even upto 30 entries.
and an alias that orders those animals (animalattack)
often I want to order these animals at multiple people, not just one target. So i have a variable that looks like this
ORDER %item( @animalentorage, 1) ATTACK @TAR1
ORDER %item( @animalentorage, 2) ATTACK @TAR2
ORDER %item( @animalentorage, 3) ATTACK @TAR3
ORDER %item( @animalentorage, 4) ATTACK @TAR1
ORDER %item( @animalentorage, 5) ATTACK @TAR2
ORDER %item( @animalentorage, 6) ATTACK @TAR3
etc all the way upto 30 entries
this basically makes it so that tar1,2,3 get attacked by all the animals that follow me
but as you can see this is very messy, is there a way to reduce this and make it a bit less ... well... long!
and another problem is that even if i only have 4 animals it does the orders upto 30 which can get spammy..... so i want it to stop ordering once it reaches the end of @animalentorage
thanks
thanks[/code] |

I've given it a bash...
I'm going to name the targets as target1, target2, target3 etc, just for simplicity
I've introduced a 'targetcount' variable, but removed the multiple target variables you've got at the moment
| Code: |
targetcount = 1
targets = target1|target2|target3
animalentourage = spider|mouse|cat|dog|pony|horse|wyvern|dragon
#alias animalattack {#forall {@animalentourage} {#if (@targetcount > %numitems(@targets)) {targetcount = 1};order %i attack %item(@targets,@targetcount);#add targetcount (1)};targetcount = 1} |
When you type animalattack it'll send
order spider attack target1
order mouse attack target2
order cat attack target3
order dog attack target1
order pony attack target2
order horse attack target3
order wyvern attack target1
order dragon attack target2
This should be good for any number of targets (all listed in @targets as a stringlist) and any number of animals (as listed in @animalentourage)
Hope that's what you're after |

that works so well! ive modified it slightly to suit what i want. but its amazing! thankyou so much!!
one small last problem i have...
alias called tt
#var targets {}
#addi targets %1
#addi targets %2
#addi targets %3
#addi targets %4
#addi targets %5
#addi targets %6
#say Your targets are now @targets
so i can enter
TT joe rob bob tom
which makes @targets = joe|rob|bob|tom
but of course cos there are 6 #additems up there it actually becomes
@targets = joe|rob|bob|tom|
which means theres a blank entry at the end
so every 5th order %i attack will not have a target
any idea how to remove the blank space or prevent it? |

| Code: |
#ALIAS tt {targets = %subregex( %trim( %-1), "\s+", "|")}
|
Trims any trailing spaces off the end, and converts any remaining spaces into a |, thus separating them for the stringlist. the subregex matches multiple spaces so it'll stop you getting empty entries anywhere.
Removes the limit to the number of targets too, and tidies it up a bit ;) |

You're welcome. Was one of those ones I figured I might be able to use in future, so wanted to see if I could do it ;)
