I need help with scripting Variables...
I want it so that when someone says something to me... it'll set alot of Variables containing "stats"
I know how to do that bit.. but I can't figure out the Wildcard to make me say something back to that player straight away...
Also, when they say something else to me, it'll say all of they're "stats"
I know it's a must use VBScripts thing..
I know it can be done, I've seen it done before...
I know it's something like...

Trigger: (player's name) says: Stats
Label: SendStats
Script: SendStats

Sub SendStats
stat = world.GetVariable ("(Player's name)_stat")
world.send "say (Player's name) stat"
end sub

or something along those lines...

Thanx in advance.

Could you cut and paste directly from the MUD output, the lines that you would like to trigger on?

Also, label names and script function/subroutine names must be unique... So where you listed "Label:" and "Script:", the names must be different.

The trigger will automatically pass any wildcards that were accepted to the script subroutine. It's your job to program the script to handle the wildcards, and store them in variables if you would like.

If you gave us the exact output from the MUD, someone here would probably be willing to do it for you.

Try looking at the sample .vbs file that is included with MUSHclient. Look at the mushclient commands that can be used (at http://www.mushclient.com/functions.htm ), and if need be, search Microsoft's site for help with programming in VBS. That's how I learned!

...or, like I've said, post the exact output, and someone here will do it for you. :)

Constantly proving I don't know what I am doing...

That seems fairly simple

first type:

/world.addtrigger "PlayerStatReq", "* says 'STATS'", "", 1, -1, 0, "", "SendStats"

change this part above as you want > "* says 'STATS'"

then insert this into your VbScript file:

sub SendStats(strTriggerName, trig_line, arrWildCards)
  world.send "say " + arrWildCards(1) + " " + world.getvariable (arrWildCards(1) + "_stat")
end sub

This simple sub should do the job as you describe it

New problem...
People that aren't registered are saying stats, and getting blank variables...
I need some Scripting that stops this...
I've been experimenting, and have come up with this...

if isempty(arrWildCards (1) & "Name") then
world.send "say " & arrWildCards (1) & " ,you are not currently registered, please say [Join]to me and try again!"
end if

But, for some reason, it doesn't seem to work...

Simply instead of:

  world.send "say " + arrWildCards(1) + " " + world.getvariable (arrWildCards(1) + "_stat")

type:

 if world.getvariable(arrWildCards(1) + "_stat") then
  world.send "say " + arrWildCards(1) + " " + world.getvariable (arrWildCards(1) + "_stat")
 else
  world.send "say " & arrWildCards (1) & " ,you are not currently registered, please say [Join]to me and try again!"
 end if

I think it should work, I am not sure since I have no way of testing it right now.

Hi again! :)

Not exactly a problem... but I'd like to know how to count how many members I have using VBScript.. (Can't be bothered to count it in the variables) :)

For a change.. I have no idea how to even start this one...
and i don't know if it's even possible...

Hope you can help!

I believe the easiest way is another variable.
though first you have to go through the hard part
of counting every entry you already have.
then insert something in the lines of checking if a person
is already in the list of members and then add 1 to the variable if the person is new.

if world.getvariable(arrwildcards(1) & "_stat") then
  world.send "say Hey you, " & arrwildcards(1) & ", stop messing with me, you are already a member!"
else
  world.setvariable "StatTotalMembers", world.getvariable("StatTotalMembers") + 1
end if

Above is just an example, use or abuse at will :P

New problem..

Some of my variables contain "(Empty)" because they won't be used until that player does certain things...

Now... when someone says "Blah blah slot 1"
It says back all the variables that contain the "(empty)" word... and I don't want it to..
How can I fix this?
I've been experimenting, and have come up with this..

if world.getvariable (arrWildCards (1) & "Slot1") = ("(Empty)") then
world.send "say " & arrWildCards (1) & ", You do not currently have anything in that slot"
else
world.send "say " & arrWildCards (1) & "" & world.getvariable (arrWildCards (1) & "slot1") & ""
end if

But.. of course.. if that worked, I wouldn't be putting it here...

 if mid(lcase(world.getvariable(arrWildCards(1) & "Slot1")),1,7) = "(empty)" then
  world.send "say " & arrWildCards (1) & ", You do not currently have anything in that slot"
 else
  world.send "say " & arrWildCards (1) & "" & world.getvariable (arrWildCards (1) & "slot1") & ""
 end if

Hmm... it did look alright before too, but try the above instead

Thanks! That works lovely! :)

New problem though...

I have Variables containing a "money" stat, and when the player gets enough money.. they can buy potions..

Now, the potions cost 100 each... so the player will say "Buy 5 potions" the potions will be added to the players stats, and the correct amount of money will be removed from the stats.

Now... how can I do this?

Like always, I've been experimenting, and have come up with this:

if world.getvariable (arrWildCards (1) & "Gold") < arrWildCards & (2) * 100 then world.send "say " & arrWildCards & (1) & ", You do not have enough Gold to purchase " & arrWildCards & (2) & " Potions!"

if world.getvariable (arrWildCards & (1) & "Gold")>= arrWildCards & (2) * 100 then world.send "say " & arrWildCards (1) & " " & arrWildCards & (2) & " Potions have been added to your account! " & arrWildCards & (2) * 100 & " Gold has been removed from your account!"

But like always, it doesn't work :)

Before:

if world.getvariable (arrWildCards (1) & "Gold") < arrWildCards & (2) * 100 then world.send "say " & arrWildCards & (1) & ", You do not have enough Gold to purchase " & arrWildCards & (2) & " Potions!"
if world.getvariable (arrWildCards & (1) & "Gold")>= arrWildCards & (2) * 100 then world.send "say " & arrWildCards (1) & " " & arrWildCards & (2) & " Potions have been added to your account! " & arrWildCards & (2) * 100 & " Gold has been removed from your account!"

Wrong : arrWildCards & (1)

Right : arrWildcards(1)

you made those errors throughout most of the lines.

Now:

if world.getvariable (arrWildCards(1) & "Gold") < arrWildCards(2) * 100 then
  world.send "say " & arrWildCards(1) & ", You do not have enough Gold to purchase " & arrWildCards(2) & " Potions!" 
end if
if world.getvariable (arrWildCards(1) & "Gold") >= arrWildCards(2) * 100 then
  world.send "say " & arrWildCards(1) & " " & arrWildCards(2) & " Potions have been added to your account! " & arrWildCards(2) * 100 & " Gold has been removed from your account!" 
end if

Ok.. when writing your own code remember to make it look nice, I can understand it better if it is not cluttered up
split the lines, I know there is a character in VB to notify it to split a line in two, I cant remember it now though
