Background status checking
|
In essence, I would like to create a background query that alerts me when the results of my query change. I would like it so that this query ran without causing any input or output to be displayed to the user (me). I'm guessing that portion should be possible with clever usage of #GAG. Here is what I'm looking to do:
The command 'mlist' returns a list of the currently signed on players of my guild, with a predicable beginning and end (should make capturing the list easy). Looks something like this:
| Code: |
The members of the Society of Morgul Mages currently in the realms:
: <name>
: <name>
There are now three Morgul Mages serving the Dark Lord. |
The names are presented without the "< >" of course.
I'd like if the 'mlist' command could be automatically be sent every 'n' seconds. Then store the returned list of users in a variable and compare it to the last 'mlist' result. If the list has changed, I would like the original 'mlist' query to stop and, instead, start a new trigger that will notify me every 'y' seconds that the list has changed. The alert will cease after the command 'mlist' is returned and the original query will being running again.
Some of this I know how to do, the thing I need the most help with is the making it not display every time it runs and saving the list in a meaningful manner in a variable.
Can anyone help? It would be greatly appreciated. |

Here is one possible way to do it, going by the information you supplied and manual show's to imitate the mud response. I'll be glad to answer any questions you have IF it works for you.
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<cmud>
<class name="MlistClass" copy="yes">
<trigger name="MlistCheck" type="Alarm" priority="6110" enabled="false" copy="yes">
<pattern>30</pattern>
<value>mlist</value>
<trigger>
<pattern>^The members of the Society of Morgul Mages currently in the realms:</pattern>
<value>#gag
MlistNew = ""</value>
</trigger>
<trigger type="Manual">
<pattern>(*)</pattern>
<value>#if (%match(%1,"^:%s(*)",$name)) {
#gag
#additem MlistNew $name
} {
#gag
#state 3
}</value>
</trigger>
<trigger type="Alarm">
<pattern>1</pattern>
<value>#gag
#forall @mlistNew {
#if (%ismember(%i,@MlistOld)) {} {#t+ notification;#t- MlistCheck;#call %alarm(notification,1);MlistOld = @MlistNew}
}</value>
</trigger>
</trigger>
<var name="MlistNew" type="StringList" copy="yes">
<value>bob|jim</value>
<json>["bob","jim"]</json>
</var>
<var name="MlistOld" type="StringList" copy="yes">
<value>bob|jim</value>
<json>["bob","jim"]</json>
</var>
<alias name="mlist" copy="yes">
<value>MlistOld = ""
#t+ MlistCheck
#sendraw mlist
#t- notification</value>
</alias>
<trigger name="notification" type="Alarm" priority="110" copy="yes">
<pattern>10</pattern>
<value>#print Type mlist to disable notification.</value>
</trigger>
</class>
</cmud>
