Zugg Software :: View topic - stumped on how to make a simple trigger to track reagents

hello i want to be able to track my reagents via counters and guages.

heres my problem, the string that shows reagent consumption looks like this:

You have completed your casting.
A browning mandrake leaf, a shimmering white fish scale, a pinch of sulfur, a feather from a roc, a silver runestone, a silver runestone, and a large black pearl flare brightly and vanish!
You call upon the Powers for an intervention... <-- this line is the affect, it varies from spell to spell obviously

with of course, variances. there are 7 different kinds of reagents, the 7th, i don't track since it is a rare kind of reagent and those spells I don't cast often.

anyway, is there any way to make it so that i have a trigger for ALL the different variances of this line, instead of having individual lines for each one. there are a lot, and i know zmud can track these without having individual lines. I'm just not familiar with how to do this. another example of this line so there is something else to see,

You have completed your casting.
A browning mandrake leaf, and a silver runestone flare brightly and vanish!
The duration of 'stone skin' has been INCREASED

or

A pinch of sulfur, and a pinch of sulfur flare brightly and vanish!

A feather from a roc, a sunstone, a browning mandrake leaf, a browning mandrake leaf, and a browning mandrake leaf flare brightly and vanish!

each reagent has a variable that i use,

a feather from a roc = @feather
sunstone = @gem
a mandrake leaf = @leaf
a pinch of sulfur = @sulfur
a silver runestone = @eth
a shimmering fish scale = @scale

so the guages along the first row under the status bar are what i use to actually track my reagents. as you can see i'm very low on my @leaf reagent.

I currently keep an accurate tally of these with a config alias that looks through all my bags periodically.[/img]

That's a pickle

You would need a multistate to span from 'You have completed your casting.' to 'brightly and vanish!'

I briefly tried to do the regex starting with ([\w+ ?]*)[\,]? ([\w+ ?]*)[\,]? but I am not that good.

In this post [url] http://forums.zuggsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32707&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=[/url] Fang Xianfu demonstrated how to get this or that element in a multistate with the not so simple code:

Actually this is quite easy.... if you're willing to make a unique trigger for all 6 reagents.

Very interested in you buttons for the reags in Materia Magica, would you be interested in sharing the coding for them?

raglith, that is exactly what i was looking for. it seems to work. i knew there was a simple answer to this. and i thank you so much for figuring it out. :D i got it running on one character, if it works with him (as it seems to be) i'll be sure to use that in all my reagent utilites.

alexiel its very simple to make buttons like that.

1. click the button button on the floating file bar.
2. make a button.
3. to make it track something, and not be a toggle button, select the KIND: drop down menu and select GAUGE.
4. you'll want to caption it with whatever Reagent you're using. And you can change the background color. I use Red for fire, etc. gray for my gem/eth.
5. select the ADVANCED tab and the VALUE will be your variable for the reagent. @eth as an example.
6. select the GAUGE tab. Value will be your variable, and you can select your max/min for the gauge. on my lowbie its 25/10. on my hero with silks its 250/80.

Thats how you make the gauge itself. you'll need to have something that counts your reagents going in, and out. so when you pull it out of your reagent bag, or buy it at a vendor and put it into your bag. which is why i posted this topic. I have no problems counting them coming in, its just the massive amount of reagents being used in various strings that was driving me nuts. there should be around 150 to 200 different consume strings for all the different spells in the game.
