First I would like to thank vij, and lightbulb for the great help with my id database script!

Ok Im basicly just wanting to know if it is some how possible to to database you mobkills. Meaning a tracker for how many times you kill a mob of a certin name. I think it may be possible but im not sure how to start it. The tag line for the mobs death is as follows

A magical cloud is KILLED!!

I Think that I would need a trigger that basicly adds one evertime a mob is killed. I dont know EVERY mobs name in the game. Im worried that if I want to make a database out of it I would have to basickly make a field for every mob name. Is this possible or just an nice pipe dream?

Thanks... Siegeon

No database needed, just use a variable.
#TR {(*) is KILLED!!} {#IF %iskey( @kills, "%1") {#ADDK kills {%1} {%eval( %db( @kills, "%1") + 1)}} {#ADDK kills {%1} {1}}}

Oh one more thing, If I wanted the var information of the mobs and the # of deaths to report to a seperate window (so its always visiable) is that possible?

Yes, it's possible. Use the status window.

Use the %expanddb function to get a nicer format.
%expanddb( @kills, %lf, =)

It still probably won't be as nice as you'd like, but anything more will take some extensive behind-the-scenes work to reformat things.

I have a similar trigger, based on the one explained here, this is the value:

#IF %iskey( @receiptdb, "%1") {#ADDK receiptdb {%1} {%eval( %db( @receiptdb, "%1") + 1)}} {#ADDK receiptdb {%1} {1}}

The problem is that "iskey" never seems to recognize the keys, so I get 1 of everything, although there are 2 bearskins and 5 boots a.s.o. Can anyone with more experience see what I do wrong?

(#showdb @receiptdb):

a shadowy vest from The Beaten Anvil: 1
a pair of dark gloves from The Beaten Anvil: 1
a bearskin tunic from The Beaten Anvil: 1
a laced pair of brown boots from Jaseem's Fine Clothing: 1
a black pair of silver-tooled boots from Jaseem's Fine Clothing: 1
a black pair of steel-toed boots from The Keep Armory: 1
a pair of shredded wolfskin boots from The Beaten Anvil: 1

What did you expect? They are all different. zMUD is right.
Black boots aren't brown boots.
Silver-tooled boots aren't steel-toed boots.
Boots from Jaseem's Fine Clothing aren't boots from The Keep Armory.

If you want to count all 'boots' the same, then you have to strip off everything except 'boots'.

Let me rephrase, I have for instance 5 pairs of "a black pair of silver-tooled boots from Jaseem's Fine Clothing", sorry for the misunderstanding.

edit:
there are much more items that the trigger runs through than it makes keys, but still the counter is just 1 for those items. I would expect it to either make more keys, or increment the values, but it does not.

Here is most of what I use, notice that the file attempt was my first go, it works fine, but does not "stack" items like I want, so I would have to count each item after the script is done. So now I would like to try the record thing to do a different approach.

#CLASS {chest}
#ALIAS examreceipts {#file (1) %concat( @chest, %time( " d mmmmm yyyy"));#era 1;#file (1) %concat( @chest, %time( " d mmmmm yyyy"));#RESET @receipts;#RESET @receiptcount;exam @chest;#wait;#LOOP @receiptcount {#wait;get <@receiptcount>.receipt @chest;#wait;exam receipt;#wait;put receipt @chest;#wait};#wait;#close 1}
#CLASS 0

#CLASS {chest|receipts}
#TRIGGER {(%d)? a receipt} {#variable receiptcount {%1} {1}}
#TRIGGER {It is a receipt for(*), already redeemable.} {#write (1) {%1};#variable receipts { %additem( %1, @receipts)} {""};#IF %iskey( @receiptdb, "%1") {#ADDK receiptdb {%1} {%eval( %db( @receiptdb, "%1") + 1)}} {#ADDK receiptdb {%1} {1}}}
#CLASS 0

In that case, no I have no idea what you are doing wrong. There's nothing wrong with the #IF I wrote, or your adaptation of it.

Alright, its working now, so for anyone remotely interested, this will shuffle through all receipts in a specified container and write the contents to a file, I skipped the shops to make the counting easier for the forums where I use it.

example of file"sack 19 juli 2004.TXT":
[7] a black pair of silver-tooled boots
[1] a black pair of steel-toed boots
[6] a pair of dark gloves
[3] a laced pair of brown boots
[2] a bearskin tunic
[2] a shadowy vest
[1] a pair of shredded wolfskin boots

Here is my newbie code for now, I will probably improve it someday:
