#TR {~(Hp:(%d)/(%d)~)~(Mp:(%d)/(%d)~)~(Mv:(%d)/(%d)~)} {do whatever}
should work

I thank you for trying but still nothing...
Setup Example

So for example. If you have a status line that looks like this: [ hp: 20/20 mana: 10/15 ] you might set up a script like this: #TRIGGER {[ hp: (%d)/(%d) mana: (%d)/(%d)} {#VA HP %1; #VA HPMAX %2; #VA MANA %3; #VA MAXMANA %4;} Stats I feel I should expand on this a little since many people are having trouble with what is said here. The #TRIGGER function can be found in the Zugg Help Files. The short of it is you just need to map (%d)'s to numbers you wish to capture. So if you want the 20/20 (for the HP) and the 10/15 (for the mana) you make a replica of the command line (or any line) with (%d) replacing the numbers. Now with this method the first number captured becomes %1, the second %2, etc. So in the second part of the #TRIGGER you can then issue commands to ZMudd. The #VA command sets variables. So you set the first to HP, second to HPMAX, etc. The last part is a group catagory you can use to mass turn on or off these variables. As a general rule it is not needed. Another quick example: [*]<932hp 960sp 920st> Your trigger line would look like this: #TRIGGER {*<(%d)hp (%d)sp (%d)st>} {#VA HP %1; #VA SP %2; #VA ST %3;} Stats Now, in this example the Max is not shown so you would have to set this yourself (or use another trigger) for the guages to work properly.

thats from his help file :( its all jibberish to me I tried doing just like he said :(

#trigger {~(Hp:(%d)/(%d)~)~(Mp:(%d)/(%d)~)~(Mv:(%d)/(%d)~)} {variable assignments go here} {nocr|prompt}

Novice Joined: 11 Mar 2002 Posts: 37 Location: USA

when I put the tilda ~ in these it fails the check
hewre is my displayed prompt
(Hp:203/287)(Mp:39/257)(Mv:292/292)

I have only 3 thing to display in the graphic HP MP MV
I have them labeled hp and hpmax mp and mp max and mv and mvmax

how should I make it

I have this in it now
#TR { (Hp:(%d)/(%d) ) (Mp:(%d)/(%d) ) (Mv:(%d)/(%d) ) } { #VA HP %1; #VA HPMAX %2; #VA MP %3; #VA MPMAX %4; #VA MV %5; #VA MVMAX %6; }

and its not working

any other ideas?

There are certain characters that are special characters in trigger patterns. Some of them are *?[]()"% - there's a full list in the Pattern Matching reference. If those characters appear in the pattern, you have to tell zMUD that they're part of the pattern rather than special characters - you do that by putting a ~ before them. Since brackets are special characters, when they actually appear in the pattern, you need to put ~ before them. Your pattern

~(Hp:(%d)/(%d)~)~(Mp:(%d)/(%d)~)~(Mv:(%d)/(%d)~)

It's also very important that you don't add spaces to the trigger pattern where there aren't any in the text. You'd added some before the brackets.

this is still not working is there anyone out there that has this up and running and working at all?
and if you do what is checked/unchecked under pref, script parsar and pretty printing.

maybe I do not have something on that I need on

If I put a tilda ~ anywhere in the trigger it says pattern does not match
I check that pref he said theres no ~ to turn on or check

Novice Joined: 11 Mar 2002 Posts: 37 Location: USA

also if I put this
#TR {(Hp:(%d)/(%d))}
in it does not match if I put
#TR { (Hp:(%d)/(%d)) }
with those 2 spaces it matches

The point is to make the code understand that not all the "(" belong to a code but are just symbols. For that, you need "~".

testing it now

{~(Hp:(%d)/(%d)~)}

pattern does not match

GURU Joined: 23 Dec 2000 Posts: 4834 Location: USA

You may need to check your Special Characters preferences. ZMud inherently knows what a ~ does in a trigger pattern, but it also allows you to change this character. If it is telling you that the pattern doesn't match, it's possible this setting may have been changed. If it has, then ZMud forgets what a ~ is for.

ok I checked in there the one with ~ was checked it is labeled quote char.

GURU Joined: 23 Dec 2000 Posts: 4834 Location: USA

Is it possible there's two or more spaces separating items? ZMud doesn't let you put consecutive literal spaces in a trigger pattern, so if you need to match something like that you need to use %s.

from what I read in the help file I posted here this is what it should look like
my prompt
(Hp:337/337)(Mp:206/206)(Mv:346/346)

the trigger to make the grafix work
#TR { (Hp:(%d)/(%d))(Mp:(%d)/(%d))(Mv:(%d)/(%d)) } { #VA HP %1; #VA HPMAX %2; #VA MP %3; #VA MPMAX %4; #VA MV %5; #VA MVMAX %6; }

so I still cant get anything to go

under patter , states , options is there anything I need to check/uncheck?
all those are just as zmud put them by default I have not changed anything

If this doesn't work please paste the output of your prompt (copy and paste it from your mud) between some [ code] tags [ /code].

First delete and previous prompt triggers even if they don't work then copy and paste this into your command line and hit enter to create it.

#TR "prompt" {~(Hp:(%d)/(%d)~)~(Mp:(%d)/(%d)~)~(Mv:(%d)/(%d)~)} {#VAR HP %1;#VAR HPMAX %2;#VAR MP %3;#VAR MPMAX %4;#VAR MV %5;#VAR MVMAX %6} "" {prompt|nocr}

Novice Joined: 11 Mar 2002 Posts: 37 Location: USA

I have 0 triggers in my zmud now

I copy pasted that line into trigger line, saved it, tested it, nothing :(

#TR "prompt" {~(Hp:(%d)/(%d)~)~(Mp:(%d)/(%d)~)~(Mv:(%d)/(%d)~)} {#VAR HP %1;#VAR HPMAX %2;#VAR MP %3;#VAR MPMAX %4;#VAR MV %5;#VAR MVMAX %6} "" {prompt|nocr}

is the last set of "" supposed to be blank?

I did uncheck the ~ under that special charcters menu and the command line for the triggers now lets me put them in the trigger command line

You need to have the ~ checked for it to work correctly the ~ is important!!!!, Please see my post above about putting your EXACT prompt output between some code tags on the forum. (code tags preserve spacing)

The pattern I gave you should work with your prompt with the default zmud settings. What version of Zmud are you using?

Novice Joined: 11 Mar 2002 Posts: 37 Location: USA

newest one that I know of 7.21
