Hey -

I've got two variables with data in them, and I'd like to output them on a single line together. I know I can do it like this:

@Weapon.1 has the statistics of @WeaponStats.1

Using #Echo or #Show - but the lists are fluid. There's not always the same number of weapons being checked for statistics. So far, my output alias looks like this:

#forall @probes {#Show "";#EC %i's stats are:}

and it shows each specific weapon on its own line just fine - but how can I get it to display the proper WeaponStats beside?

take a look at #SHOWDB?
If you organize your variables right you could do something like....

#FORALL %dbkeys(@weaponStats) {#SAY %i;#SHOWDB @weaponStats.%i}

What exactly is in these variables? I suspect that you have two simple stringlists, is that correct? Or is one of them a database variable? If you are just using stringlists, then a database variable would be the way to go. That's what Shalimar is suggesting. All your data would be in a single variable then, and you could #LOOPDB through it (that's a bit better than #FORALL %dbkeys() )

I do have two different stringlists.

I wasn't sure how to capture the information from two different triggers into one variable and have it match up properly.

The first trigger captures the unique item I.D. 'A simple knife'

The second captures the statistics of the weapon which would read something like '40 200 220' once captured.

Edit - Ideally, I'd have a single variable that reads 'A simple knife1' as key, with the value of '40 200 220' and 'A simple knife2' as key with the value of '45 204 203' etc etc. I have the data for both parts, as noted - I just can't figure out how to combine the two.

if you know what those values represent you can give them titles

#TR {something to get all the data} {
$name=%1
$str=%2
$dur=%3
#ADDKEY weaponStats.${name} Strength $str
#ADDKEY weaponStats.${name} Durability $dur
}

And so on... or if you just want your method

#ADDKEY weaponstats $name $stats
#ADDKEY weaponstats {sample weapon=20 400 600}

sure, you just neem to store the data from one trigger into a normal variable and reference it in the second trigger
just change it to something like..

Thanks, Shalimar! It works wonderfully.

Last question on this topic: Can I use any formatting on this output? Using %ansi tags only colors the first word (meaning, the first statistic output) and using my existing ansi alias changes the output from:

You can try MXP color tags, or alternatively, make new triggers to highlight the end results that get displayed
