Trigger-creating script resulting in unexpected trigger type
|
Hi, after several hours spent on that bloody problem, I have to use collective skills and knowledge and ask here ;)
So here is the issue:
I got a db variable with descriptions and names and another one with names and colors:
| Code: |
#VAR desc_name "fat stupid man=Peter"
#VAR name_col "Peter=red"
|
I got an alias that fires #SUB and another one that the colors the name:
| Code: |
#ALIAS sub_desc {
#SUB %format( "%s (%s)", %1, @desc_name.%1)}
#ALIAS color_name {
#CW @name_col.%1}
|
A loop script that creates triggers for all the people from the database (values above are just one example).
It's supposed to create two triggers - one that colors the name (if I know the person or someone introduces them) and another one to show the name next to the description, so it looks like:
| Quote: |
Fat stupid man (Peter) arrives from the east.
Lois introduces fat stupid man (Peter) as:
Peter Griffin, man.
|
And inside the loop script:
| Code: |
(...)
$trigger_name = people_desc_sub_%replace( $desc, " ", "_")
$pattern = ~($desc~)
$commands = sub_desc $desc
#TRIGGER $trigger_name $pattern $commands {People|Triggers} regex|pri=1
$trigger_name = people_name_color_$name
$pattern = $name~(~ |\.|, ~)
$commands = color_name $name
#TRIGGER $trigger_name $pattern $commands {People|Triggers} regex|pri=1
|
Second trigger is created correctly, results in:
| Code: |
<trigger name="people_name_color_Peter" priority="1" regex="true" id="1770">
<pattern>Peter( |\.|, )</pattern>
<value>color_name Sander</value>
</trigger>
|
However the first one ends up NOT as normal 'Pattern' type trigger, but as 'Expression' type trigger:
| Code: |
<trigger name="people_desc_sub_fat_stupid_man" type="Expression" priority="1" trigontrig="false" regex="true" id="1769">
<pattern>(fat_stupid_man)</pattern>
<value>sub_desc fat stupid man</value>
</trigger>
|
The way of creating them seems the same to me, but one works fine, another doesn't. Fixing the settings manually is not an option, since I loop through like 700 records. Or maybe someone has a better idea how to create a fast-working script that would use the provided data:
| Quote: |
Desc=fat stupid man
Name=Peter
Guild=FG
|
to produce substitution results like
| Quote: |
Fat stupid man (Peter FG) attacks you!

Why don't you keep all the data in one DB var\r?
| Code: |
#FORALL %keys(@desc_name) {
$desc=%i
$name=@{desc_name.%i}
$color=@{name_col.%i}
$guild=wherever you store guild info
#ADDKEY @char_list.$desc {Name=$name}
#IF ($color) {#ADDKEY @char_list.$desc {Color=$color}}
#IF ($guild) {#ADDKEY @char_list.$desc {Guild=$guild}}
} |
Then a single trigger should work.
| Code: |
#TR {({@char_list})} {
$who=%1
$name=@{char_list.$who.name}
#IF (@{char_list.$who.guild}) {$name=%concat($name, " ", @{char_list.$who.guild})}
#SUB {$who ($name)}
#IF (@{char_list.$who.color}) {#CW @{char_list.$who.color}}
} |

Yep, I did something like that and it works now, cheers!
Now that's silly. Doing some crazy sql scripting, automatic noun and adjective declension (not an English MUD) and forgetting I could make a trigger with (@db_var) pattern that would use the variable's keys by default. |
