Help please? - Group health display
 
I need some help...I have a basic grasp of the Zmud fun gizmos - triggers, buttons, aliases, no problem. Anything more complex than that and I'm lost.

What I'm looking for is a group health display (a common theme I know.) Now, the mud I play (Shattered Kingdoms) has a special set-up for groups - a sample 'info' as follows:

Code:
Group: Dragon Hunters
(11:F1)  [         Bob]   (12:F2)  [         Joe]   (13:F3)  [------------]   
(21:M1)  [       Larry]   (22:M2)  [------------]   (23:M3)  [------------]   
(31:B1)  [         Moe]   (32:B2)  [------------]   (33:B3)  [------------]   
Characters            Rank    Pos    In room  Follow    H     ME    PE 
Larry                 Leader  21:M1  Yes      No      100%   87%  100%
Bob                   Member  11:F1  Yes      Yes      67%  100%   93%
Moe                   Member  31:B1  Yes      Yes     100%   82%  100%
Joe                   Member  12:F2  Yes      Yes      95%  100%   98%


There was one offered for the 6.40 Zmud, and I don't know if that's the problem, but it errors out for me, and I can't make heads nor tails of the coding to try to fix it. It has more fripperies than I'd need - buttons to invite and heal and such, when all I really am looking for is the raw info - but if it would work, it'd be swell.

If anybody has an idea for just the health percentage in group formation, or how to make the following work:

Code:
#CLASS {Toolbars|AdvancedControl|GroupControl}
#VAR btn {}
#VAR f1 {------------}
#VAR f2 {------------}
#VAR f3 {------------}

#VAR b3 {------------}
#VAR haveGroup {0}
#VAR charHP {100}
#VAR tmpMove {}
#VAR colButton {black, white}
#VAR typeCom {0}

...I'd be most obliged! I'm so over my head here.

Thanks!

Well, just a couple things I noticed when scanning over it:

Firstly, check all those variable evaluations (variable=something) to make sure you have the @ in front of the var. There were a couple I noticed missing it. This will throw the script off, as it doesn't know to set the variable to that argument.

Secondly, use of this script is going to cause you some serious bog-down. Even with all its conditionals to that one multi-state oninput trigger, with all those buttons, you're going to be hosed. What you might think to do is put this information (captured as the variables) into the status window. That way you're not dealing with a graphical display (something that zMUD doesn't like and has to work really hard for) but a set of raw numbers (which zMUD likes and processes relatively quickly.)

I wouldn't mind knocking out superfluous buttons, but even when I cut out that which looked safe to cut, Zmud had conniptions with it. But I'll sort through and try to do what you said - variables confuse me like this script confuses Zmud. Does anyone offer a course in Zmud programming? :P

I'd be willing to try the status window, but I'm not certain how to handle the variables for it. Any chance I could get a nudge in the right direction?

Thanks for the quick response! I'll be trying to work out the extant variable issues.
