Trouble with an autoroller.
|
I have been trying to make this autoroller work correctly, and it does: with one vital flaw. It is always responding to the one before current stats. Aka: it responds correctly but is always one input behind. Any ideas on how to make it work correctly? Thanks.
#TRIGGER {Str: %1 Int: %2 Wis: %3 Dex: %4 Con: %5 Accept} {#MATH total %1+%2+%3+%4+%5;answer}
#ALIAS Answer {%if(@total > 85,accept,n)
#ALIAS Accept {#BEEP 1;y} |

Get rid of the answer alias and put the %if (which probably should be an #IF) in the trigger. What's happening is that the trigger sees the call to ANSWER and starts running that alias concurrently with the math statement. Apparently ANSWER is faster than the #MATH command, and so @Total is not yet changed to the new value.

It's also safer to take out the %1 %2 etc in the #TRIGGER part and use (%d).
And I always thought you had to use () to capture something with a wild card? I guess not?
Stay JOLLY!

You still have to use () to capture, but don't the %1...%99 variables work just like &variable in a trigger pattern?

Yeah, they do, except the &varname syntax lets you specify what wildcard to use instead of the default * and %1..%n are not technically variables. However they are never recommended in the pattern. It may produce unexpected results and since it is not proper syntax, it may break without warning in the future.

You need to use Trigger on Prompt instead of Trigger on Newline. This can be done from the command line using the options nocr and prompt or on the Options tab in the trigger editor.
#TR {Str: (%d) Int: (%d) Wis: (%d) Dex: (%d) Con: (%d) Accept} {#IF ((%1 + %2 + %3 + %4 + %5) > 85) {#BEEP 1;y} {n}} {} {nocr|prompt}
