Autoassist Trigger
|
Im trying to get a this autoassist trigger to work, but dont know what's wrong with it.
#TR {@leader @autoassisting} {#IF {aggy=0} {assist;aggy=1}}
Where @leader is the leader of the party and @autoassisting is all of the hits that my leader could possibly do.
#VAR autoassisting {"incinerated"|"desecrated"|"gutted"|"mutilated"|"thrust"|"grazed"|"poked"|"swatted"|"missed"|"obliterated"|"stabbed"|"prodded"|"gouged"|"bruised"|"smashed"|"cracked"}
@aggy is a counter so that I don't get spammed with the trigger for every hit my leader does. It is reset to 0 whenever something dies via a trigger.
My problem is that the autoassist trigger doesnt fire and when I test it on "Boromir DESECRATED" and Boromir is @leader it says that the pattern is not matched. Some help on this would be greatly appreciated.

You need to enclose the string lists you use in a pattern in braces, like this:
#TR {@leader {@autoassisting}} {#IF {aggy=0} {assist;aggy=1}}

Thank you so much. Just one thing if you dont mind. Can u explain to me why those brackets need to be around that variable? If I know the reason, I can keep myself from having similiar problems later. Thanks.

Sure, no problem. What happens is that when you use a string list in a pattern what you are trying to do is to tell the trigger to match one of the strings inside the stringlist. The syntax zMUD has for this is to enclose it in braces. You can also enclose in braces a manually entered string list and it will work the same. For example:
#TRIGGER {You get a {sword|chest|helmet}} {#SH It matched!}
is the same as:
#VAR items "sword|chest|helmet"
#TRIGGER {You get a {@items}} {#SH It matched!}
In both cases you need the braces to tell zMUD it is a string list of possible matches instead of a single value which must be matched as is.
