how do you check to see if a trigger exists?
|
Previously, in zmud, i did this:
| Code: |
@tank tells the group*"pfull"*
#IF @imhungry=1 {eat food & eat corpse} {}
#IF @imthirsty=1 {ccw cup & sip} {}
#SHOW Checking My_Hp_Status
|
Checking My_Hp_Status triggered to these commands:
| Code: |
#VAR pfullState 1
#if @hp<@maxhp {#SHOW Sleeping for hit points.} {#SHOW HP is good.}
|
Sleeping for hit points. triggered to:
| Code: |
#Temp {You are now at maximum hitpoints.} {#SHow HP is good.}
sle
|
HP is good. triggered to:
| Code: |
#IF (@pfullState=1) {#IF @mana<@maxmana {
#SHOW Sleeping for mana.
sle
} {#SHOW Mana is good.}} {sta}
|
and so on for movement. is there a better way to handle something like this? In cmud, the #TEMP command will make duplicate triggers... sometimes, zones will repop in the middle of a pfull, and you get this:
tells the group*in*"up"* which I have triggered to:
| Code: |
sta
#VAR pfullState 0
|
Because of the interuption, I still have a temporary trigger for Mana is good, and next time we pfull (slang for prep full - clerics have to prep spells on this mud), my pfull triggers will execute twice. If I could programatically check to see if a trigger exists, I could prevent this, but I can't help but think there's a better way to handle the temporary trigger problem. should I create them in a different trigger class and delete the class? Can someone show me an example of how to do this? |

I also want to point out that this wasn't a problem in zmud... duplicate triggers didn't happen when doing #TEMP.

Give your Temp trigger an ID this should ensure that only one is created
#TEMP "idname" {pattern} {code} |

You can also check to see if a trigger exists with the %trigger function, but it will require an ID. Since your problem will likely be cleared up simply by using the IDs you shouldn't need to do that.
I personally wouldn't use the temporary triggers or trigger off stuff my scripts #SHOW. For what your doing I would suggest placing a few triggers in a class and turning the class on and off with #Tą or #CLASS. You can then use the %class function or a variable to determine whether you need to issue a 'stand' when your sleep is interrupted. |
