Umm Iam attempting to setup status windows in 2 different sessions, and it seems like its not wanting to let me do that....
note my status window in docked on the right side of session 1 and I want a second one docked on the right side of session 2

and thoughts?

The status window is a Highlander Immortal--there can only be one (per CMud instance). If you want two then you have to have two CMuds open.

If you can come up with a system to manage the window updating, you can forgo the Status Window entirely in favor of two child windows.

I wouldnt mind useing the child windows, but I dont know how to run the updating and stuff like the status window in a regular session window.......
if someone could help me come up with the scripting for that it would be great I really have no idea how too. Iam useing triggers to mod variables and variables post in the status window... as far as I know there not really a way to turn a regular window into a "fake status window?

Iam sure one of you Gurus can pul this rabbit out of the hat.....

Note: Given all the options that cmud has, i dont really see why a simple update could be made to have session orientated status windows instead of client status window.... right? I just doesnt seem like it would be that hard to do. and i dont know why it hasnt already been done?

Thanks Mud Gods

The thing with child windows, as opposed to the status window, is that they won't update themselves automatically when a variable changes. Since you're using triggers anyway to capture the variables it makes sense to just update the window when the trigger fires.

It would be easy to create an alias that you add to your existing triggers to update a child window.

Assuming @hp, @hp_max, etc are variables you are assigning in a trigger something like the following could work:

how is it that you change the colors? perhapes you could copy and paste one of your script lines? maybe the alignment and gold line?
Iam not even ready for your stat bars....

Iam doing this in the alias

#execwin PlagueStatus {#clr}
#execwin PlagueStatus {#say ---------------------}
#execwin PlagueStatus {#say Hits: @hitpoint/@maxhitpoint}
#execwin PlagueStatus {#say Mana: @manapoint/@maxmanapoint}
#execwin PlagueStatus {#say Move: @movepoint/@maxmovepoint}
#execwin PlagueStatus {#say ---------------------}

Iam getting this sent for some reason????

---------------------
Hits: | 21150/21150
Mana: 1050/1050
Move: 1050/1050
---------------------

After the Hits: that stupid line is appearing....
can I fix this

he most likely used %ansi, or <color here>thing</color>

it would be like this

__BUMP__ Look Up

Trigger:
%1/%2 HP %3/%4 Mana %5/%6 Move

Trigger Value:
#variable hitpoint %1
#variable maxhitpoint %2
#variable manapoint %3
#variable maxmanapoint %4
#variable movepoint %5
#variable maxmovepoint %6

Alias Value:
#execwin PlagueStatus {#clr}
#execwin PlagueStatus {#say ---------------------}
#execwin PlagueStatus {#say Hits: <color white>@hitpoint</color>/<color white>@maxhitpoint</color>}
#execwin PlagueStatus {#say Mana: <color white>@manapoint</color>/<color white>@maxmanapoint</color>}
#execwin PlagueStatus {#say Move: <color white>@movepoint</color>/<color white>@maxmovepoint</color>}
#execwin PlagueStatus {#say ---------------------}

I dont know how can I do that and change the percents all in the same triggeR?

Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 3:45 am

change the trigger to this

(%d)/(%d) HP (%d)/(%d) Mana (%d)/(%d) Move

keep the values the same, cmud hates %1 ect in the pattern, it was a glitch in zmud to be able to use these in there cmud is less forgiving

in one of my muds this is my prompt capture trigger

Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 3:51 am

I changed it.... Altho Iam still haveing the "pipe" pop up/////

Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 3:54 am

as i said did you check your variable? then delete it?

Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 4:02 am

Color in that picture is just using %ansi but honestly using color tags would be easier for everything but the histograms. I have no idea whatsoever where that pipe character is coming from, but I suspect hadar is on the right track. Maybe post what your prompt looks like (if that's where you're getting these values) and we can narrow it down.

If you wanted to look at my thing it's in the package library as 'Statmon Window' in the Aardwolf section.

If the trigger has fired since he made the change, then the pipe character shouldn't be showing up at all, since a pipe character is not a digit, and the trigger is specifically looking for a digit.

Odd that it is showing up, however.

One thing to point out is anything that is NOT a function, variable, or command should be quoted. That means changing something from:

#SAY <color red>Hi!</color>

to:

#SAY "<color red>Hi!</color>"

This way you can preserve spaces and whatnot.

Ok so did the pipe ever go away? And thanks charn for reminding me about that I completly forgot

Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 4:39 pm

no every time I do the update alias its adding additional rows in the value.
makes new row 1
and my actual value is in row 2 and then also makes another empty row 3

now I manually delete these columns and they reappear on update

but only on that stupid hp line.

also just you say quoted... Iam useing the {} instead of quotes..... does this matter?

post the script exactly how it is now, from the trigger to the alias
