[2.18] Status bar update problem
|
Here is my status bar:
| Code: |
| @enemy : %ansi(red,white)@attack : %class(triattack)/%class(fleeattack) %if(@attacking) | %ansi(%item(@stwcolor,1),white)%concat(%item(@afnamelist,1)," : ",%item(@aflist,1),%item(@aflist,2)) | %ansi(%item(@stwcolor,3),white)%concat(%item(@afnamelist,3)," : ",%item(@aflist,3)) |
I have a variable in the bar @attacking which I can change with a macro key. In the previous release of CMUD 1.34 when I prress the macro, the status bar updates immediately (which is the correct behaviour). Now the status bar only updates when a new prompt arrives from the MUD after I press the macro key. |

This is because the value of @attacking isn't actually displayed on the status bar, so it's not watched for updates like variables that're displayed. You can fix this in a number of ways, the easiest probably being to add a line like
attack=@attack
to the macro so that it's given a "new" value to one of the variables that's actually on the status bar. Assuming that that doesn't work, you could also build your status bar text in a variable and then display just that variable on the status bar. That way, any update would change it, but you'd need to also update that variable any time you changed something. |

Below works.
| Code: |
$fake = @attacking
#VAR attacking "tmp"
#VAR attacking $fake
#IF (@attacking >= 1) {#T- triattack;#T- triattack2;#T- triattack3;#T- vampattack;#SAY "Attack Off";#T- fleeattack;#T- fleeattack1;#T- leadattack;#VAR attacking 0;#VAR onestrike 0} {#T+ triattack;#T+ triattack2;#T+ triattack3;#IF (@vampire = 1) {#T+ vampattack};#SAY "Attack On";#T- fleeattack;#T- fleeattack1;#T- leadattack;#VAR attacking 1} |
Thanks for the ideas Fang! It seems the variable change needs to be outside (and before) the #IF loop for it to be recognized as a change by the status bar (shown by the tweak in the beginning). This is definitely a bug. |
