Zugg Software :: View topic - [Question] Highlighter Fix for zMud 7.21 [SOLVED 3/4/12]

Beginner Joined: 01 Mar 2012 Posts: 17

Hi Everyone. I built this highlighter a long time ago based off of a script from someone else, and have always had issues with two minor pieces that never worked. It's always bothered me and I hope that someone here with a more complex understanding of 7.21 functions and syntax could help me fix this problem once and for all.

The script is a highlighter script that pulls names from a generated list in the game and populates them into lists that are instructed to show all names within said list as a specific color. Due to the nature of the game I'm playing, the lists generated from typing a specific command in the game shows different clans members differently. The following is what shows up in the game that the triggers pulls names from:

Simple trigger, really.

Thanks Charneus, I suppose I could make it a whole lot cleaner. You're saying to just repalce all of the []'s and () with ""'s?

EDIT: In addition to the alter trig edit you listed above.

Crazy, everything works FLAWLESSLY now, thank you so much!

I was talking about replacing the ()s around the %1 and the clan name in the #IF ((%1) == (clan)) portion of your script. You just need it to be #IF (%1 == "clan") instead.

Glad it works for you, though!

Charneus, I'm having issues now with the Clan names with two words such as the three listed below. They worked before but now they don't. Any idea on how to fix these?

[51 Tra] [ White Robes ] Berr Magus
[51 Mag] [ Black Robes ] Geirrvif Magus
[51 Mag] [ Red Robes ] Prazle Magus

Also, I'm having difficulties with the Loner lists adding certain RP Ranks for Pirate and Priest characters.
Example:

[26 Yinn Pir] [ Loner ] Cabin Person Crvain

Their "Pirate Rank" is Cabin Person and their actual name is Crvain, so its adding "Cabin" to the Loner list. Should I just make an exclusion list with an array of ranks that I want to bar from being flagged ever? Aka, all of the Pirate and Priest ranks? And if so, How might I incorporate it?

This one allows highlighting of Loners and Dragons, but not 2-word clan names:

#TRIGGER {^~[*~] {~[|~(} (%w) {~]|~)}%s(%w)}

This one allows 2-word clan names, but not loners and dragons:

#TRIGGER {^~[%d %w~] ~[ (*){ |*}~]%s(%x)}

What am I missing here?

Look into the use of ranges. [%w%s] will match any of the clan names.

Thanks MattLofton, but could you be a bit more specific and apply it to the following trigger?

#TRIGGER {^~[*~] {~[|~(} (%w) {~]|~)}%s(%w)}

Thanks!

Where the first %w is, change that to [%w%s]. Your trigger will look like this:

Thanks Charneus, you are a wizard and a gentleman. Does the above trig account for names with single digit levels? The range is lvl 1 thru 51. Thanks!

In ZMud and CMud pattern matching, wildcards are equivalent to [%whatever] (for example, %d = [%d]). The wildcard doesn't stop matching until the parser gets to a character that doesn't match, so the following pattern works for the following examples:

#trigger {left%dright} {}

left1right
left82right
left999999999999999999999999999999999999right

In Charneus's example, * is equivalent to [%x%d%s], which generally means if you see it on-screen it'll match (the only exception is that in ZMud * does not match any character defined in the Special Characters Preferences).

All issues regarding improper highlighting have been resolved and you can see the final results from this effort in the finished script sections:
