conditional colouring
 
hi. im trying to make a trigger that auto-colours the input text on certain conditions.

the input text is
Quote:
You currently have 3 knowledge crystals and 0 power crystals to use.

where the 3 and the 0 can be any number.

if set the trigger as
Code:
You currently have %1 knowledge crystals and %2 power crystals to use.

and am using an if statement similar to
Code:
#if (%1/3 >1) {#col {green}}

but it doesnt work - i want it to colour if the number divided by three is greater than 1 and a whole number.

can anyone help?

thanks
fergal

use %d in the pattern not %1

#TR {You currently have %d knowledge crystals and %d power crystals to use.} {#IF (%1/3 >1) {#CO green}}

it still doesnt appear to be working correctly for some reason. its possible that its something to do with the formula itself ( %1/3 > 1) as if i fiddle around with it it apears to start working somewhat, although it seems rather sporadic and not following any logic i can see

Try forcing an evaluation of the formula using (%eval(%1/3) > 1)

Problem is that you have to put variables you want to use later inside parenthesis.
#TR {You currently have (%d) knowledge crystals and (%d) power crystals to use.} {#IF (%1/3 >1) {#CO green}}

Why not just use #SUB?

i.e. If knowledge crystals are div by 3 then it is green if power crystals are then its blue. You can obviously expand on it. This is just a simple version. #SUB works just as well i used a very generic version of it. You can actually have it color word for word too.

Code:

#TRIGGER {You currently have (%d) knowledge crystals and (%d) power crystals to use.} {#IF (%1/3 >1) {#SUB %ansi(green,bold)%line} {#IF (%2/3 >1) {#SUB %ansi(blue,bold)%line}{#NOOP}}

Nice catch Guinn I hadn't noticed the lack of the round brackets to capture the values.
