How would I..
|
Is there a way to set a trigger so that it responds to a number and any number below that number? Perhaps it's best just to show an example. I want a trigger to respond with "cast heal %1". The pattern would be:
[Test 60%]
So, how would I set it so that if Test is at 60% hp or below, it'd set off the trigger? Surely there's a way to do this, as to avoid having to make a trig for 59%, 58%, 57%, ect.
Thanks. |

Try something like this:
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {~[Test (%d)~%~]} {#if (%1 =< 60) {cast heal %1} {}}
|
So an explanation, %d is the number of your percent then it checks if that number is equal to or less than 60, if so, casts heal that number, if not, does nothing. |

Okay cool, thanks. I'm a newbie at cMUD scripting, so could you explain why there are parenthesis around %d if there aren't any around the numbers in the MUD? Also, what're the two braces, {}, at the end for? I know the very last brace closes the #if statement, but why is there a set before the closing brace? |

The parenthesis allow that pattern to get stored to the %1 %2 %3 local variables for the trigger, and the second set of bracers is the 'ELSE' instructions for the IF-THEN-ELSE procedures for the #IF. Without it, CMUD might get pissy about the syntax or could cause some syntax errors if you try to add some more stuff to it since the last bracer without another opening bracket would be an unexpected syntax.

Not strictly true... the else-brackets are optional if you're not using them. So #if (something) {command} and #if (something) {command} {} are functionally identical. The only time CMUD would complain is if you went to add an else-command to the end of your #if and forgot to close the brackets {} - which it'd be right to moan, since you'd have a syntax error.
On the broader topic of brackets in patterns, that means that you can have some numbers you're not interested in. For example, if your text read [Test: 40% 50%] you could use a pattern ~[Test: %d~% (%d)~%~] and that would put the second number into %1 and ignore the first, but still match as the first changed. |

Yeah that's what I meant. I'm just not as good at explaining things like you Fang. :)
