Multiple word variables
|
The MUD I play, Shattered Kingdoms, has group coding with formations, 3 rows, 3 columns. To make it easier to heal, I set up a script to display the group member's health in guages, arranged like the group. That part works perfectly. My problem is that I'm trying to make the name of each guage the group member's name, and sometimes the name has multiple words.
The group display appears like this:
| Code: |
Group: Teraliss's Party
(11:F1) [a furry pand] (12:F2) [------------] (13:F3) [------------]
(21:M1) [ Teraliss] (22:M2) [------------] (23:M3) [------------]
(31:B1) [------------] (32:B2) [------------] (33:B3) [------------]
Characters Rank Pos In room Follow HP ME PE
Teraliss Leader 21:M1 Yes No 100% 100% 73%
A furry panda Member 11:F1 Yes Yes 100% 100% 100% |
Here's my trigger:
#TRIGGER {(*)%s{Leader|Member}%s11~:F1%s{Yes|no}%s{Yes|No}%s(%d)} {
#VAR F1hp %2
#VAR F1name {%1}
}
Then I repeat that for each group position.
That name can be anywhere from one to four words. I read about using brackets to help in multiple word variables, matching (*) with {%1}, but I'm still creating a class called panda with a setting of furry. Any ideas on how to stop creating a thousand new classes, and show the name correctly? I appreciate any guidance! |

I don't know what to say except that that's the way to do it and it should be working. Check that it really is saved with those brackets there. One other thing you could try is using quotes "" instead of braces {} round the value.

In Zmud you do want to use "%1" around a variable if you want to catch all of the words in a %nn variable. That is why the compatibility report screams at you when it sees "%1" in a script for Cmud. As in Cmud it is no longer a valid syntax or even needed.
#TRIGGER {(*)%s{Leader|Member}%s11~:F1%s{Yes|no}%s{Yes|No}%s(%d)} {
#VAR F1hp "%2"
#VAR F1name {"%1"}
} |
