String triggers...How to pull the triggered string item to a variable?
|
So this is what I tried to do...
I tried setting up a string list... listing 15 different types of item loot.
But I couldn't figure out how to pull whichever item triggerd the stringlist.
So now I have 15 different triggers.
i.e.
Pattern: Chest
Trigger: #var glist %additem( "chest", @glist)
instead i want something like this
Pattern: ({%%dbkeys(@boxlist)})
Trigger : #var glist %additem( %1, @glist)
I tried various ways to pass the pattern variable to different variables, but no go. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :) |

#trigger "name of trigger goes here" {stuff before boxlist({@boxlist})stuff after boxlist} {code goes here} "class this trigger is in goes here" {trigger options go here}
From there, you use %1 and other code to assign it to a variable. Like, for instance, ThisBox = %1. |

Try this:
| Code: |
#var glist {a|b|c|d|e|f|g}
#TRIGGER {({@glist})} {#var curloot %1}
|
You can use a variable in the pattern and it will match to that string list (assuming it is a string list). If you place parenthesis around it, then you can also use it as %1, %2 etc in the value to do whatever you want with it. |

Great!
I can see where I went wrong before when I tried doing the () trick to pass the variable to %1.
({%%dbkeys({@boxlist})})
Works awesome :) !! You shoulda seen me trying to stick the () in random places... and trying to use && variable option.
Is there any particular reason why the bracket is needed around @boxlist(or @glist) to get the variable to pass through?
Thanks a ton, both of your examples were very helpful! |

The {} are needed to signify that the data contained within is a stringlist--a multiple-choice variable.
The parentheses are needed if you want to expose the result to any of the code this trigger is going to execute. This exposure takes the form of %1...%99, based on the position of each set of () or &varname item:
#trigger {(this) is a stringlist of &%dlistcount items} {}
%1 = "this"
%2 = some number (1, 2, 3, etc) that appeared in this spot |
