:===========================================================================:


This is what my mud displays whenever i score myself for stats. I was wanting the best way to capture each and every little number and my title to put into a database so that i can play around with making aliases to display certain bits of information upon demand so i won't have to bring this screen up except for every time i change equipment and stuff. And also i'd like to capture the clan, rank, wife, race, and class, and warfare grade.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh brother... don't want much do ya?

I'm just going to snag a line or two here as example and let you expand things from there. Also I haven't messed much with the databasing side of things yet so I can't help there.

Code:
#CLASS {System}
#ONINPUT {score} {#CLASS Grabscore 1}
#CLASS 0
!
!
#CLASS {System|GrabScore}
#CLASS GrabScore 0
#TRIGGER {^~| Age~: (%d) years ~(Played~: (%d) hours~) (%s)(*) ~|$} {
  #VAR Age %1
  #VAR Played %2
  #VAR Married %4
  }
#TRIGGER {^~| Hitroll, Damroll~: (%s)(%d),(%d)(%s)Saves~: (%n)(%s)~|$~:~=~=~=~=} {
  #VAR Hitroll %2
  #VAR Damroll %3
  #VAR Saves %5
  #CLASS Grabscore 0
  }
#CLASS 0


That should grab two of the lines in your score block. I leave it to you to expand that and grab them all.

I'm just getting back into MUDing so my DB skills in zMud are rusty, but a multi-state trigger should do you good.

This is what my score screen looks like.

Code:
+===============================================================+
|              Score sheet for the Human known as               |
|                  -*  Gratnok of Allanos  *-                   |
|                17 years, 0 months and 7 days                  |
|                         (3 hours RL)                          |
+===============================================================+
|   82/  82 Hit  120/ 120 Mana  170/ 170 Movement   3 Practices |
|   [ Str:18/18  Int:13/18  Wis:21/21  Dex:14/18  Con:18/18 ]   |
|                        Cle: 6 War: 5                          |
|                        Psuedo level: 6                        |
|                   Class Order: Cle War Mag                    |
X========= Exps:     15776 ========= Quest Points:    0 ========X
|  You are carrying   35/  43 items, weight 43.55/    250 kg.   |
|       Autoexit: *ON*    Autoloot: *ON*   Autosac: *ON*        |
|            Autogold: *ON*           Autoassist: *OFF*         |
|     Wimpy Set to 16 HitPoints.  Page Length is 80 lines.      |
|            Drunk:  No   Thirsty:  No   Hungry: Yes            |
|                                                               |
|        You have assumed the Stance of the Adventurer.         |
|                       You are sleeping.                       |
|        Armor Class:   -82.   You are slightly armored.        |
|                Hitroll: 30      Damroll: 32                   |
|             Alignment:     0.    You are neutral.             |
|                      Saving throws: -2                        |
+===============================================================+


and here's the multi-state trigger I use to capture the data.

Code:
#TRIGGER "Score" {+===============================================================+} {} "Stats"
#COND {|%sScore sheet for the &%w{Race} known as%s|} {}
#COND {|%s-~*  &%w{Name} of &%w{City}  ~*-%s|} {}
#COND {|%s (%d) years, (%d) months and (%d) days %s |} {}
#COND {+===============================================================+} {}
#COND {|%s&%d{HP}/  &%d{MxHP} Hit%s&%d{M}/ &%d{MxM} Mana%s&%d{Mv}/ &%d{MxMv} Movement%s&%d{Practice} Practices |} {}
#COND {|%s ~[ Str:&%d{Str}/&%d{MxStr}  Int:&%d{Int}/&%d{MxInt}  Wis:&%d{Wis}/&%d{MxWis}  Dex:&%d{Dex}/&%d{MxDex}  Con:&%d{Con}/&%d{MxCon} ~] %s |} {}
#COND {|%s &%w{Class1}: &%d{Class1Lvl} &%w{Class2}: &%d{Class2Lvl} %s |} {}
#COND {|%s Psuedo level: &%d{PLvl} %s |} {}
#COND {|%s Class Order: (%w) (%w) (%w) %s |} {}
#COND {X========= Exps:%s&%d{XP} ========= Quest Points:%s&%d{QPts} ========X} {}
#COND {|  You are carrying%s &%d{Items}/%s&%d{MxItems} items, weight (%d.%d)/%s &%d{MxWgt} kg.%s|} {}
#COND {|%s Autoexit: ~*({OFF|ON})~* %s Autoloot: ~*({OFF|ON})~* %s Autosac: ~*({OFF|ON})~* %s |} {}
#COND {|%s Autogold: ~*({OFF|ON})~* %s Autoassist: ~*({OFF|ON})~* %s |} {}
#COND {|%s Wimpy Set to &%d{Wimpy} HitPoints.  Page Length is %d lines. %s |} {}
#COND {|%s Drunk:%s(%w)   Thirsty:%s(%w)   Hungry:%s(%w)  %s |} {}
#COND {|%s You have assumed the Stance of the (*). %s |} {#VAR Stance %1}
#COND {|%sYou are (%w).%s|} {}
#COND {|%s Armor Class:%s &%n{AC}.   You are (*).%s|} {}
#COND {|%sHitroll: &%d{HRoll}%sDamroll: &%d{DRoll}%s|} {}
#COND {|%sAlignment:%s (%n).%s You are n(%w).%s|} {}
#COND {|%sSaving throws: (%n)%s|} {}
#COND {+===============================================================+} {}


Of course it can be tweaked but it should give you a pretty good idea of what you can.

Note 1: I don't capture all values into variables. For example I'm just matching but not using the AutoXXXX properties. As mentioned earlier its a work in progress.

Note 2: Many of my variables are captured directly in my trigger pattern but you can you zMud script (or some other) to capture it to the DB. This link should be able to help you out. http://forums.zuggsoft.com/modules/mx_kb/kb.php?page=3&mode=doc&k=123 and http://forums.zuggsoft.com/modules/mx_kb/kb.php?page=3&mode=doc&k=239

Good luck and happy zMudding.

I'll try to see what I can do, but I'm very new to making complex triggers, so this will still be a bit of a challenge for me. Aside from that I've got some questions about how to use the database. The reason is this. I want to make a trigger for when someone casts a spell to replace the spell gibberish with the spell name from a database and I'm having the hardest time ever figuring out how to do that.

ex:

Schoktra utters the words, 'sagg eaaf'.

I wanna make it pull from the database and substitute so it says Schoktra utters the words, 'pass door'. I can do the substitution, but I don't know how exactly to do the pattern matching in the database.

For your most recent question don't bother with the actual database. It isn't fast enough to handle what you want. A simple record variable (also calse a database variable, even though I specifically renamed every reference to them in the help) does what you want. Triggers can work directly with such variables, so your code is very short, everything is contained in the variable.
#VAR SpellTexts {}
#ADDKEY SpellTexts {sagg eaaf} {pass door}
#TRIGGER {({@SpellTexts})} {#SUB {%db(@SpellTexts,"%1")}}

Just use #ADDKEY, similar to my usage above, for all the others you discover.
