Problem with #IF statement
|
I have this code which triggers no matter what on the #IF statement code follows then game output follows that.
| Code: |
#WAIT 4950
reel
#IF (You must regain balance) {#ECHO triggered;#WAIT 1000;reel} {#Echo returned false} |
The echo's are there for debugging
| Code: |
Your line goes taut as a fish takes the bait and is hooked.
reel
<289/289h 270/270m 0e 0w 26x <ebpp> <b>> <LL:0 RL:0 HE:0 TO:0 LA:0 RA:0>
You reel in your line, the fish pulling hard on the other end.
Balance Taken: 4.75s
<289/289h 270/270m 0e 0w 26x <e-pp> <b>> <LL:0 RL:0 HE:0 TO:0 LA:0 RA:0>
The piranhas dart down the river.
<289/289h 270/270m 0e 0w 26x <e-pp> <b>> <LL:0 RL:0 HE:0 TO:0 LA:0 RA:0>
The sky above you opens up some, leaving only partial cloud cover.
<289/289h 270/270m 0e 0w 26x <e-pp> <b>> <LL:0 RL:0 HE:0 TO:0 LA:0 RA:0>
You have recovered balance.
<289/289h 270/270m 0e 0w 26x <ebpp> <b>> <LL:0 RL:0 HE:0 TO:0 LA:0 RA:0> reel

You must regain balance first.

With a final tug you heave a slim cobia out of the water.
It weighs 16 pounds and 11 ounces.

You are not fishing at the moment.
<289/289h 270/270m 0e 0w 26x <ebpp> <b>> <LL:0 RL:0 HE:0 TO:0 LA:0 RA:0> |
Any help in why this triggers would be appreciated. |

The problem is your use of the #IF statement. #IF evaluates an expression, typically a comparison between two things like strings or a variable. CMUD evaluates what you have "" as a literal string, and being non-zero and non-null it will always evaluate to true.
It sounds like what you really want to do is use a #TRIGGER to match that text. You can create a temporary trigger since you don't always want that trigger or active, or you can define it and enable/disable as needed.
A little bit more advanced and likely exactly what you need (since I don't know what trigger, alias etc that code is in) is the #WAITFOR command. Something like this should do the trick.
| Code: |
| #WAITFOR {You must regain balance} 2000 {#ECHO triggered;#WAIT 1000;reel} {#Echo returned false} |
I would also caution you to be very careful with the use #WAIT since it has changed since the zMUD days. An errant #WAIT can pause the entire system for the duration of the wait, and in extreme cases cause CMUD to become unresponsive. since you just want the 'reel' command or alias sent again in a second, I would use an alarm instead. The final code would be something akin to
| Code: |
| #WAITFOR {You must regain balance} 2000 {#ECHO triggered;#ALARM {+1} {reel} } {#Echo returned false} |
Note this code is off the top of my head, so the code is untested. It should be close enough for you to get the general idea though. |

Appears to be working good but murphys law is not allowing me to see exact.
