help making Stat bar
|
I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a stat bar for Cities of M'hdoria.
Here's an example of the info given in the prompt:
<71hp 204mn 136mv>
I can't seem to figure out how to make this into a status bar!
Help! |

Check out the #STATUS command. A status object is essentially a higher-powered %format() function letting you specify how to display regular text and variable text. There's no capturing of data involved, so if you want to use variable text you will also need some sort of #TRIGGER/#ONINPUT/etc to populate your variables.
Triggers allow you to specify Pattern Matching wildcards to match variable data--%d for numbers, () to capture the data--and from there you can assign it to the permanent variables used in the status object (varname = %1...%99). You can also combine these steps in the trigger pattern by using the &varname option (&%dvarname, for example, would both match on numbers and assign the match to the permanent variable varname). |
