Adding things to a db record
|
Trying to pull a key from a db variable and then set it to its old value +Some new value..I dont want it as a list of values though..
--Using for a Lore thing that adds one spell at a time all into the key with some kind of seperator character ..but i cant figure out how to do it--
Its not always going to v4 ;) So I'd like to
#tri {~[v(%d)~] Spell: (*)$ and have it add it somehow..Adding to Varable item key spellof...thanks in advance

--Example Text Below--
[v1] Spell: protection evil
[v2] Spell: none
[v3] Spell: none
[v4] Spell: none |

You can use the %db function to get the current value and #ADDKEY to overwrite it with the new value. As long as you use the same variable and key, the existing value will be overwritten with the new one.

Sorry, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to change the key, then you can't also not change the key. It MUST overwrite it to put something different there, even if all you are doing is appending or deleting.

Ok...Any way I can have that specific trigger bounce off of multiple aliases to do it?Perhaps store the current info in a temp variable..append it with the new info..and re-store(reset) the key *disclamer* *I DO NOT HAVE A CLUE HOW TO DO THIS*

Okay, comma-separated values (you didn't want a list) and I'm assuming the spells will come in order. I used db as the name of the db variable, since you didn't provide a variable name:
#TR {~[v(%d)~] Spell: (*)$} {#IF (%1 = 1) {#ADDKEY db spellof {%2}} {#ADDKEY db spellof {%db(@db, spellof), %2}}}

Another thing that occurred to me later is that the commas could cause problems in the functions. To make sure they don't, add {} anywhere that gets a value from the variable.
#TR {~[v(%d)~] Spell: (*)$} {#IF (%1 = 1) {#ADDKEY db spellof {%2}} {#ADDKEY db spellof {%db({@db}, spellof), %2}}}
