How to capture a mob short description as a trigger?
|
There is a skill called grapple that is a type of rescue, except it has to target the mob, not the multi in order to rescue the multi. Is there a way to capture the short description of a mob to make the trigger to "grapple MOBNAME".
So I'm fighting, then the mob targets MULTI1.
An immortal guardian switches and hits MULTI1 very hard!
An immortal guardian pummels MULTI1 hard.
In this case, I would want to "grapple guardian" or "immortal guardian".
There are about a thousand different mobnames. Rescue triggers are easy because you only have to target one name, your Multi. This one is more difficult because you have to target the mobname. Would this require a mob database? Any ideas? |

#TR {An (%a) switches and hits * hard|very hard!} {grapple %1}
#TR {An (%a) pummels * hard|very hard!} {grapple %1}
assuming MULTI1 is a potential list of targets as well... |

Given language rules, every possible variant won't start with 'An', some might have an 'a', or 'the', or even a numerical count instead.
You can also merge both into a single trigger.
| Code: |
#TR {(*) {switches and hits|pummels} * {very |}hard!} {
$target=%word(%1, %numwords(%1))
grapple $target
}

I have been working on something similar to track target data.
You will need a string list keyword_blacklist to store words you want removed.
| Code: |
//Init $keywords to stop compiler errors
#LOCAL $keywords
//Replaces most symbols and converts into string list
$tempString = %lower(%replace(%replace(%replace(%replace(%replace(%replace(%replace($tempString, ",", ""), "'", ""), ".", ""), ~", ""), ~), ""), ~(, ""), " ", "|"))
$keywords = $tempString
//loop string list and removed know descriptives
#FORALL ($tempString) {
$word = %trim(%i)
#IF (%ismember(%lower($word), @keyword_blacklist)) {
$keywords = %trimleft(%remove($word, $keywords))
}
}
//Convert back to string literal
$keywords = %trim(%replace($keywords, "|", " "))
//Return only the first keyword
#RETURN %word($keywords, 1) |
