Exactly. The thing with Achaea is that there are a great number of things that can cause you not to wield a weapon correctly. The same can be said for you not putting a weapon up as well. Basically I'm trying to make sure that everything is put away correctly ,and I have the weapons out that I want to have out at the time. And I also want to make sure that the ones I have out are wielded, so I do an alias like that to cover everything.

OK, good. Now can you clarify something?

You have this for removing the old stuff, right?


unwield left
unwield right
put broadsword12345 in bag2345
put broadsword23456 in bag2345
put scimitar12345 in bag2345
put scimitar23456 in bag2345
put rapier12345 in bag3456
put rapier23456 in bag3456
put totem12345 in bag1234
put rapier34567 in bag3456
put rapier45678 in bag3456
put rapier56789 in bag3456

But do you really remove all that? Or are you just putting every weapon away in the hope that one of them is there, and the others just give an error message?

No.

Forget scripting. Forget aliases. Forget variables.

Just show me what you type to do stuff. Actually type into the MUD.

I can't help think this is getting more complicated than it needs to be, I want to see what problem we are solving, not the partial solution.

What I'm asking here is for you to tell me what you would type into Achaea to equip one set, and then remove that set and equip another one.

Not using variables, not using aliases, just what you would actually type.

You can change the names a bit if you want to hide what you actually own.

No weapons in Achaea have numbers in the single digits, so it's a pretty safe bet that that's what he intended. Some fighters carry a ton of weapons around. (And they decay, too, hence the need to be able to update your weapon variables.)

Unless I am misunderstanding what you are doing, these are variables:


put @broadsword1 in @bag2
put @broadsword2 in @bag2
put @totem1 in @bag1

Since you put @ there, it tries to find a variable called @broadsword1 - is that what you intend?

So I'd be better of making a table of sets and then calling from the table to wield and put up.

The other thing you can do is make a table of sets. Something like this:


equip_set = {
  [1] = [[   ... stuff to equip set 1 ... ]] ,
  [2] = [[   ... stuff to equip set 2 ... ]] ,
  [3] = [[   ... stuff to equip set 3 ... ]] ,
  [4] = [[   ... stuff to equip set 4 ... ]] ,
}

remove_set = {
  [1] = [[   ... stuff to remove set 1 ... ]] ,
  [2] = [[   ... stuff to remove set 2 ... ]] ,
  [3] = [[   ... stuff to remove set 3 ... ]] ,
  [4] = [[   ... stuff to remove set 4 ... ]] ,
}

Now all you have to do is have an alias to "equip x" where x is a number (eg. 1, 2, 3, 4) and the alias indexes into those tables, pulling out the relevant things.

So your alias is too generic? It wields things that aren't there?

A simple approach would be to make a list of things per set, simply as strings. One to equip, and one to remove. Then after the "remove" set you have nothing equipped, and you can equip a different lot.

eg.


equip_set1 = [[
get bow from bag4
wear bow
put battleaxe1 in loop1
put battleaxe2 in loop2
put battleaxe3 in loop3
put battleaxe4 in loop4
put battleaxe5 in loop5
get rapier1 from bag3
get rapier2 from bag3
wield left rapier1
wield right rapier2
grip
]]

remove_set1 = [[
relax grip
unwield left
unwield right
remove bow
put battleaxe1 in bag2
put battleaxe2 in bag2
put battleaxe3 in bag1
put battleaxe4 in bag2
put battleaxe5 in bag2
put rapier1 in bag3
put rapier2 in bag3
put bow in bag4
]]

You would have actual items here, not variables. So this is what you send to the MUD to get a particular set equipped or removed. Note the multi-line string variable in Lua.

So then the alias does something like this:


-- remove old set
if old_set then
  Send (old_set)  -- how to remove the last set I was wearing
end -- if

-- now wear this one
Send (equip_set2) 

-- how to remove it later
old_set = remove_set2

[EDIT] Edited to make it more consistent.
