Simple Scrip Requests- New Problem Please Help
|
Could someone explain how to do a couple of things for me?
I want to create a script so that if someone issues one of several strings, I will reply with a string that matches what they issue me.
For example,
I know I need two variables with all of the strings. Say I have three strings that can be issued: hi there, go away, come closer; and three strings that can be returned: yes, no, ok;
How do I set up a trigger that will do the following:
Person tells you 'go away' ; reply 'no'
I tried looking at triggers that were designed to do this, but I was utterly confused by them :( |

Depending on how many things you want to reply to automatically, it can be easier to just set it up in triggers:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {Person tells you 'go away'} {reply no} |
If you only need a few responses this is by far the easiest way to do it.
Otherwise you can set it up in a record variable with what they will say to you as a key and your reply as the value... open up the settings editor, create a new variable, underneath the Name box click on the Data Record box, fill in the things you want to respond to on the left and the responses you want on the right.
Then set up a trigger with something like:
| Code: |
| #REGEX {^Person tells you '(.*)'$} {#if %iskey( @REPLIES, %1) {reply @{REPLIES.%1}}} |
Where REPLIES is the name of your variable. Note the extra {} needed around @{REPLIES.%1} in order for it to expand correctly.
Edit: Capitalization inconsistencies. |

Okay I'm having problems now with the code you gave me...
So if my variable has, for instance, "go away" with a response as "no", the trigger will just reply with the last part of the prompt statement. In this case, it does "reply away". If the prompt was "hi there how are you", it would reply "there how are you".
Why isn't it selecting the second box of the data record instead of part of the first box? Here is the trigger, same as yours:
tells you '(.*)'$
#if %iskey( @Scrolls, %1) {reply @{Scrolls.%1}} |

It is because of the spaces. You need to use the %db function properly grab the value from the key. I would suggest this much shorter trigger.
#TRIGGER {tells you '({@Scrolls})'$} {reply %db(@Scrolls,%1)} |
