help with a simple variable assignment
|
so i trigger on
| Code: |
| Spell: '&spell_name'&spell_desription for &%dspell_duration hours |
and then execute
| Code: |
| #if (%class(/spells/@spell_name)= 1) {#var spell_timer @spell_duration /spells/@spell_name} {#class /spells/@spell_namel 1 {disable};#var spell_timer @spell_duration /spells/@spell_name} |
so if the %class is true then it should create a variable spell_timer in the relevant #class, however it's not. i've tested the #if statement and it's working, so I think something is wrong with
| Code: |
| #var spell_timer @spell_duration /spells/@spell_name |
and i've tried every syntax variation i can think of.
i'm doing it this way because it seems like i cant seem to designate class in the actual triggering statement, ie
| Code: |
| Spell: &/spells/spell_name'&desription for &%dspell_duration hours |
doesnt seem to work

#VAR spell_timer {@spell_duration} _nodef {spells}
so long as the variable already exists, there is no need for the full form definition (unless you have multiples instances of the #VAR in different classes), it will just reassign the value
so make the variable, then the original simplified trigger should work |

i'm trying to create the variable off a triggered event, so i need to define the class where i'm putting it. in fact it's looped, and i create 20ish variables, each in their own class...
however you showed me where my syntax was bad...
| Code: |
| #VAR spell_timer {@spell_duration} _nodef {/spells/@spell_name} |
worked, thanks heaps.
