Am i missing something here?
 
Im trying to make a script to automatically assign the value of professional variables.

Code:
#ALIAS prof {
prof=%1
#T+ ProfSet
who prof @prof
}

#CLASS ProfSet
#TR {^Brave Adventurers Questing:$} {#T+ ProfCapture}
#TR {^Total: %d$} {
#T- ProfCapture
#T- ProfSet
}
#TR "ProfCapture" {^} {#LOOP %numwords(%line) {#IF (!%ismember(%word(%line, %i), @@prof)) {#VAR @prof {%additem(%word(%line, %i), @@Prof)}}}}
#CLASS 0


Instead of making a variable array named for the value of @prof, it makes a bunch of variables, each named '|Brave' and with a value of '@|Brave|NameForArrayHere'

Also, the value of @prof seems to change other then just in the 'prof' alias.

Also, how do i get the ProfCapture trigger not to fire on the same line that turns it on?

The @@ is no longer supported. That's the first thing that jumps out at me.

If you want to do an indirect variable reference I think you need @{@prof}.

However it's late and my brain may done for tonight. It was definitely discussed in the Beta forum so try searching there. This may be a good start.

Well.. I had tried @{@prof} and gotton no results earlier, but trying again i see that it does do something, although not what it should.

i call the alias 'prof empath'
it sets @prof to empath and then spits out 'who prof empath' like it should
for some reason ProfCapture is now resetting the value of @prof to be each of the names in turn, and doesnt even try to add to @empath

i went on to try @{prof} to see if the second @ was unneeded with indirect variable assignment, but no go, all that did is assign all the values to @prof, but at least it did make it an array instead of a single word value

i even tried @{%eval(@Prof)} but got nothing

As far as i can see, indirect variable calls arent working properly.

i have found the culpret

#VAR @prof {blah}

is the same as

prof=blah

the variable does not expand the variable name and ignores the @ symbol

So is there a bug, or do you just have to change
Code:
#VAR @prof {blah}
to some other syntax?

I changed it to:

#VAR %eval(@prof) {%additem(%word(%line, %i), @{@Prof})}

and that seems to work, guess i just needed to be more awake
