Zugg Software :: View topic - trigger to choose whom to heal based off group report

group command output:

+Rnk-Lvl-Rmt+ --Name-- +Hps%-Mvs%+ --=- Gjob -=-- =-Exp2Lvl-=
4.[5- 55-5 ] foo 65 99 '.......None.......' (3)
[5- 55-5 ] bar 95 97 '.......None.......' (3)
[5- 55-5 ] baz 34 100 '.......None.......' (3)

Group PK-Index : [4]
Group Members : [3]

The idea is too look at the group report (c.f. above) and then choose who to heal based off a healList.

this #trig works for the case of using a variable:

#trig { (%*)@healVar (%*) (%d)(%*)(%d) } { %IF( %2 < 95, castHealSpell, launchHealCheckThread) }

IF TURE: castHealSpell will cast what ever the heal spell is on the @healVar (e.g. #alias {castHealSpell} {cast 'heal' @healVar}

IF FALSE: launchHealCheckThread will be called and check the group command again in some amount of time. (it really isn't a thread but it is nice to think about it that way and wish it really were a thread :-) )

So the question is how to convert the above to use a healList ( a #var that is a string list ).

I am having issues with getting zmud to set #VARs and such in order and not all at once for the entire call chain. (really annoying :-) )

My thoughts were to use:

+Rnk-Lvl-Rmt+ --Name-- +Hps%-Mvs%+ --=- Gjob -=-- =-Exp2Lvl-=
4.[5- 55-5 ] foo 65 99 '.......None.......' (3)
[5- 55-5 ] bar 95 97 '.......None.......' (3)
[5- 55-5 ] baz 34 100 '.......None.......' (3)

to figure out who should be healed. It needs to have the ability to have a priority of who to heal that is orthogonal to the order of the group output. (e.g. bar will always get healed WHEN his hp are below 50, but otherwise keep everyone above 70 based on some priority, and if someone is below 55 then get them back up before keeping everyone above 70, etc).

So it processes and figures out that:

baz should be the one to be healed and sets the #var toBeHealed baz

Then use:

Group Members : [3]

to trigger the call to: castHealSpell .

That seems like a decently architected design. The issues I am having is creating the #trig that will use a #var string list (the heal list) and then having it set the toBeHealed variable.

It seems that you can't nested #IFs or %ifs and have the variables set in the order they get executed. (or I am just doing something wrong).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How would you do it? :-) I would rather do it the "approved" way or the way that experience has shown to be best!

I would probably just set up some function keys and decide for myself which ones to push when. I've always trusted my own judgment far more than any automated system.

Loops tend to be slow, and the trigger I wrote has not just one but two loops. However, I don't see any other way of doing the complex decision-making you want to leave to a script. Good luck!
