Organization-Based Highlighting

Mereis

I've been trying to make a script in Mudlet that highlights names based on their city/council affiliation. So far I have something rudimentary using tables. I was wondering if anyone else has made a similar highlighter, and if so, how did you do it?

Iniar

Mine works something like this:

function make_player( arg )

- adds 'arg' as a key to table 'players' such that players.arg.afflictions / players.arg.vars / players.arg.circle / players.arg.profession are valid arguments.

- circle is assigned manually on creation of the argument, and can be switched with a different function

function make_colors()

- called on startup

- iterates through 'players' and for each key (that is, each player), assign a collection of tempTrigger()s in the following format:

- eden.eadb.highlights[arg][i] = tempTrigger( arg..suffixes[i], [[selectString(']]..arg..[[', 1) fg(']]..color..[[') resetFormat()]] )

- the argument 'color' is selected from a table of circle = color, ie. "D" = "maroon"

function target( arg )

- kills the associated color triggers for the argument, and reassigns new ones based on assigned target color (red)

I use that one there. It is easy enough to customise for orgs as well
Make a table linking orgs to colour names
Then do something like:

if fgc == "Antioch" then fgc = theColourTable[fgc] end

Then instead of supplying the function with specific colour names, you can feed it an org name instead.
