#SUB Question
|
I'm not sure how to explain this, and this is my first time attempting to ask a question on the forums, so please be nice.
In the help file that comes with zmud, the function I need to be described is phrased like this:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {(*) tells you,} {#SUB {%1:}} |
The line is supposed to look like 'Alignment: Nice (+0.3%)' without this trigger, and I want it to look like 'Alignment: Nice (plus 0.3%)' or 'Alignment: Nice (plus 0.3 percent).' So I updated the code to reflect what I needed replaced/changed (and changed the command character to reflect the one I've chosen for myself), and this is what it looks like currently:
| Code: |
| ^TRIGGER {((+*%))} {^SUB {plus %1 percent)}} [Results: Alignment: Nice (plus percent)] |
The following variations produce the same result as the first:
| Code: |
^TRIGGER {((+*.*%))} {^SUB {plus %1.%2 percent)}}
^TRIGGER {((+%d.%d%))} {^SUB {plus %1.%2 percent)}}
^TRIGGER {((~+%d~.%d~%))} {^SUB {plus %1.%2 percent)}}
^TRIGGER {((~+*~.*~%))} {^SUB {plus %1.%2 percent)}}
[Also all of these variations without the spaces between 'plus,' 'percent,' and the % signs/numbers.]

The problem is that it seems not to be recording the information marked by a wildcard to display it.
I'm sure this question has a very simple answer, but I've always been confused about the wildcards, so I can't think of what the problem might be.
(A note: this is part of a rather long and complicated (to me) piece meant to determine whether I should use an action to get my alignment back to neutral or use an action to raise my alignment, but I I've figured out the rest (haven't implemented it yet though). I just need this one thing to work, though technically, I don't even need this. I would just rather code one complicated thing than have ~50 extra triggers based on what the alignment percentage is and whether it's positive or negative. I don't know if this is important or not, but figured I'd mention it.) |

#trigger {Alignment: +(%d)~%} {#sub {Alignment: Nice ~(plus %1 percent~)}}
%d might not match the decimal. If it doesn't, you can use a range pattern of [0-9.] to cover all numbers with or without a decimal. |

Ah, that did the trick perfectly! And I did end up having to use the range. Thank you very much!
