possible 7.21 bug - using %i in a variablename
|
When i used 7.13, i wrote a little friendlist, which helps me picking out my friends and foes easily. However, when i changed to 7.21. The code doesn't seem to work anymore. A little more explenation follows:
characters are put into groups (addchar-alias), which are made by issuing the addgroup-alias. A group has a certain colour appointed to it(@<group>_col). whoever is in a group, will get a trigger (by the applycol-alias) which uses the #CW <colour>.
As i said earlier, this all worked fine in 7.13. In 7.21, the code in the alias which makes the triggers (applycol-alias). doesn't work as it used to anymore (see below for code). the #cw @[%i]_col part creates a trigger like @[friends]_col. which causes the characternames to color black, while with 7.13. It just creates the trigger like @friend_list.
applycol-alias:
| Code: |
#forall @cgroups {#forall @%i {#trigger {%j{ |,|.|?|!|~*|$}} {#cw @[%i]_col} ColGroup|triggers}}
|
So basically: when i create a group, the name of that group will be added to the stringlist @cgroups. And a variable @<groupname>_col will be made, which contains the colour of that group. the applycol-alias will make a trigger for every person in every group with it's own colour.
Any ideas on getting the colour-variable name into the triggers? ({#cw @<group>_col}).
Thanks in advance. |

Don't mean this to be rude, but you are using sloppy syntax.
[] is used to FORCE expansion depending on options and isnt Ideal for use in scripts but more for use on the command line
{} is Used to group stuff and fols the same principals as () in math in that the innermost will be executed first, This is untested but I think should work.
#forall @cgroups {#forall @{%i} {#trigger {%j{ |,|.|?|!|~*|$}} {#cw @{%i}_col} ColGroup|triggers}} |

Thanks for your reply, I've tried what you said. But unfortunately, it doesn't work. What happens when i use {} instead of [] is that the triggers are made with this:
#cw @{family}_col
It shouldn't take the {} into the variable name.  |

Have you tried it without any brackets? I believe %i variables are subject to early expansion and don't need the brackets anymore. Of course, I could be wrong too.
