Mudlet Scripting

Saitou

Okay so I've been trying to set up a script to suggest a hypnosis and then move onto the next hypnosis in my priority list. The problem I have is that it just keeps suggesting the first hypnosis in my list. This is my code:

function AssassinHypnosis()

local nextHypnosis = combat.priority.hypnosis.lock or combat.priority.hypnosis.remove("lock", 1)

send("suggest "..dabomb.target.." "..getAffHypnosis(nextHypnosis[1]))

end

Iluv

SCRIPT:

hypnoadded = hypnoadded or 1

Hypnosislockqueue = {"Impatience","Epilepsy","Hypochondria","Heroism","Deadening"}

TRIGGER:

^You issue the suggestion of impatience, concealing it deep within (\w+)'s mind\.$

if (hypnoadded > #Hypnosislockqueue) then

hypnoadded = 1

else

hypnoadded = hypnoadded + 1

end

Alias:

suggest " .. target.name .. " " .. Hypnosislockqueue[hypnoadded]

Iniar

Without referencing Nyoka's code, I would guess this was also a problem:

combat.priority.hypnosis.remove("lock", 1)

It probably would be:

combat.priority.hypnosis:remove("lock",1)

Although I suspect that too would not be entirely correct.

First, awesome on you for encapsulating your variable names in namespaces, using local variables, and abstracting out into a function instead of just dropping the code right in a script.

It looks like the problem is the assignment to nextHypnosis -- I suspect the second half of the logical extension is never firing, or if it is, its not removing anything, because you've already asserted that the thing you're trying to remove does not exist.

Mind demonstrating what the data structure stored in combat.priority.hypnosis looks like? Also possibly the definition for getAffHypnosis(), if its not just a one liner mapping priority.hypnosis to aff names I'll be able to offer slightly more targeted help if I know those things.

Converting to Mudlet. I'm utterly inept right now.
I'm trying to set up a trigger to tell my system that I'm off balance. I'm trying to use the: Balance Taken: 4.7s line as the trigger.

I've tried ^Balance Taken: (\d+)s  ^Balance Taken: (\w+)  ^Balance Taken: (\d+)(\w+)

Nothing gets it to recognize that line.

Mereis

You may want to use:

^Balance Taken\: (\d+)\.(\d+)s$

Punctuations like : and . usually need to be preceeded by a \ so that they won't be considered as variables (rather, they'll be considered as part of the actual regex trigger).

Edit:

You can also do
^Balance Taken\: (.*)s$

(.*) captures any character (so it would capture 4.7 as "4.7", rather than the previous trigger which would capture 4.7 as "4" and "7").

Khizan

Explanation: 

• (\d+) : Capture one or more digits 0-9.
• (\w+) : Capture one or more word characters. Generally speaking, this is a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and the underscore character
• (\d)(\w+) : Capture one or more digits in one variable(eg: $1) and then capture one or more word characters in a separate variable(eg: $2)

The one thing all those patterns have in common is that they fail to account for the '.' in the number. You have to remember, regex doesn't consider "1.2" to be a floating point number; it sees characters without context. '1' is a number, '.' is a period and not part of a number, '2' is a number. And so "(\d+)s" does not match "1.2".

The pattern I would probably use is:

(\d+\.\d+) : Capture one or more digits, a period, and one or more digits. The period has to be represented as '\.' because '.' means "any character". The backslash escapes the special meaning of the period, making it just a character.

Fyraine

You might find this site useful
regexpal.com
for testing your patterns.

If you paste the test line in first, and then type in the regex, you can see it being highlighted yellow (indicating that the pattern is being matched) as you go, and it becomes pretty obvious the moment you make a mistake.

Incidentally, unless you're specifically trying to capture the balance loss number for something (cooldown timers maybe?) then there is no need to make that trigger a regular expression.

Choose "Begin of line substring" as the trigger type, and "Balance Taken:" as the pattern.

Gabriel

Thanks everyone! I can actually put all of those suggestions to good use in a lot of ways.

I'll pester folks in clans and such as much as I can, but I'm pretty sure I'll be burning up this forum thread a good bit too.

Forgive me in advance.

This shadowplant script is seriously going to drive me INSANE. Why is it telling me he eats a shadowplant when he eats a hyssop when I shadowplanted kelp?!?!?!?!?!

What am I doing wrong?

Iniar

You're also triggering this: Mereis quickly eats some hyssop stem. Person ate a hyssop What is the code associated with that trigger?

Iniar

More importantly, your TrackSlice should compare what is eaten (I'm guessing that's the 'name' argument) with the shadow plant type, for accuracy's sake. Something like, if ... And ... And ... And "shadow"..name == shadow then

Saitou

I don't have a trigger for eating hyssop which is why I don't understand why its triggering the shadowplant.

So I should do something like this?

Trigger: ^.+ quickly eats a piece of kelp.$

herb = "kelp1"

if shadowplanted == true and shadow == "shadowkelp" then

shadowplanted = false and killTimer(plantedtimer1)

end

Then for Trackslice:

elseif combat.afflictions.asthma and shadowplanted == true

and shadow == "shadowkelp" and herb == "kelp1" then

cecho("<orange_red>\nSHADOWPLANT EATEN")

Saitou

There's also this:

^(\w+) quickly eats (some|an|a) (.+)\.$

local sub_eherb = {

["galingale flower"] = "galingale",

["hyssop stem"] = "hyssop",

["juniper berry"] = "juniper",

["piece of kelp"] = "kelp",

["maidenhair leaf"] = "maidenhair",

["mandrake root"] = "mandrake",

["nightshade root"] = "nightshade",

["orphine seed"] = "orphine",

["wormwood root"] = "wormwood",

}

if table.contains(sub_eherb, matches[4]) then

local eherb = sub_eherb[matches[4]]

cecho(" <yellow>Person ate a " .. sub_eherb[matches[4]])

TrackSlice(eherb)

end

end

If that has anything to do with it?

Cassius

There's your hyssop that's triggering the shadow plant.

Saitou

How is it triggering the shadowplant?

Cassius

^(\w+) quickly eats (some|an|a) (.+)\.$ is triggering on the hyssop and calling TrackSlice. You didn't have a check in TrackSlice to see if the herb matched the shadow plant.

Saitou

I added that extra check in there

elseif combat.afflictions.asthma and shadowplanted == true

and shadow == "shadowkelp" and herb == "kelp1" then

cecho("<orange_red>\nSHADOWPLANT EATEN")

and it just stopped working completely.

Cassius

I assume that one of those didn't evaluate to true.

Try echoing the values locally so you can check them. Or use the lua alias to check them.

Saitou

You're right. My shadowplant trigger was setting shadow to "shadownone" instead of "shadowkelp" or whichever herb it was. I'll test it in a few to see if that fixed it.

Cassius

I think you are setting the herb to 'kelp' but trying to match it as 'kelp1'.

Saitou

Well I originally had it as "kelp1" because I thought "kelp" was interfering with something but I switched everything to just "kelp"

Iniar

The other thing i'd do is also echo what type of shadow plant is consumed, at least in the initial stages

Saitou

So I added these checks to each herb....

You force a small opening in your wormhole and a shadowy replica of a maidenhair leaf pops out of it and lands in .+ hands.

 

shadowplanted = false

shadow = "shadowmaidenhair"

herb = "maidenhair"

if plantedtimer then killTimer(plantedtimer) end

plantedtimer = tempTimer(1, [[shadowplanted = true]])

if shadowtimer then killTimer(shadowtimer) end

shadowtimer = tempTimer(1, [[shadow = "shadowmaidenhair"]])

if plantedtimer1 then killTimer(plantedtimer1) end

plantedtimer1 = tempTimer(4, [[shadowplanted = false]])

cecho("<orange_red>\nSHADOWPLANT: MAIDENHAIR")

and then

if combat.afflictions.paralysis and shadowplanted == true

                                        and shadow == "shadowmaidenhair" and herb == "maidenhair" then

                        cecho("<orange_red>\nSHADOWPLANT EATEN")

                                        elseif combat.afflictions.sensitivity and shadowplanted == true

                                        and shadow == "shadowmaidenhair" and herb == "maidenhair" then

                                                     cecho("<orange_red>\nSHADOWPLANT EATEN")

but its still triggering off other herbs than the one shadowplanted.

Iniar

I'm sleepy and haven't tested it so… use with caution

Cassius

Sleepy Iniar....I think you need to check the 'name' passed in TrackSlice to the herb shadowplanted.  Unless I missed it in there.

Iniar

Oh I made a big booboo in that one but my face is too tired to try and fix it and you're right Cassius I need to do something like.. And shadowplanted == name then

Saitou

a big booboo?!

Iniar

We kinda fixed it already

Saitou

Oh, yeah I added shadowplanted == true and shadowplant == name then
