Well in better news:

I've made a semi-stable functioning AutoSipperAlpha
It's basically what I'm trying to do here but without ATCP integration or advanced scripting.

I'm working out a lot of bugs though, and I don't know what's going to happen when I'm out of health vials, so I'm working on getting to that point.

Yes it does. But the receiver must also be a plugin. So this code must be in a plugin:


function OnPluginBroadcast (msg, id, name, text)
  if id == "85f72d0e263d75df7bde6f00" then
  
    if msg == 1 then
      got_vitals (text)
    end -- if   
 
  end -- if ATCP message
end


And since that would only fire inside a plugin, I'm not sure why got_vitals is being called at all, unless you are calling it yourself.

Well then that must be my problem. You see, I thought that meant when the ATCP plugin broadcasts to other pluginsit captures information. Hence the ID which I figured must point to the ATCP plugin

You've lost me a bit there, because the OnPluginBroadcast only works inside a plugin.

What I posted is my code. That's my whole script file, not including anything from plugins.

Well either got_vitals isn't being called at all, or the regular expression isn't matching. I would add a couple of debugging prints, eg.


function got_vitals (s)

print ("in got_vitals, got:", s)

...


and later on:


SetVariable ("max_hp", max_hp)

print ("just set mxp_hp to", max_hp)

Nevermind, looking back over it, stats.xxxxx is the information being received and converted into a number to set the variables in the function. I feel stupid.


However I'm still having a problem calling them...


I've gotten a basic alias down for setting the sip_hp:


<aliases>
  <alias
   name="Test_sip_hp"
   match="^HH (.*?)$"
   enabled="y"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>
if %1 &gt; 99 then
Note ("error: sip_per ust be a value between 1 and 99")
else
SetVariable ("sip_per", %1)
SetVariable ("sip_hp", GetVariable ("max_hp") * GetVariable ("sip_per") * 0.01)
Note ("Sipping at " .. GetVariable ("sip_hp") .. " health")
end
</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>


((I know you two can read that like a book, but for those interested in the process))

I made this alias by multiplying the variables "max_hp" (max health) and "sip_per" (The % health you want to start sipping at, commonly 80% but sometimes differing. Done in % because health values constantly change, and therefor sip_hp should too) and multiplying the resulting number by 0.01 (the equivalent of dividing by 100). This gives us a percent of the max health at which a person will start sipping. I'm not worried about remainders right now, because in my code the remainder just means the number is rounded up.


Now I have a few problems. I want to convert this alias into a script, so that it will automatically update the max_hp and the sip_hp every time max_hp changes, instead of having to go back and retype HH * every time.

Next, I'm having problems setting max_hp using the snippet of code Nick gave me, I'm currently trying and failing to do this:




function OnPluginBroadcast (msg, id, name, text)
  if id == "85f72d0e263d75df7bde6f00" then
  
    if msg == 1 then
      got_vitals (text)
    end -- if   
 
  end -- if ATCP message
end



function got_vitals (s)
  stats.health,    stats.maxhealth, 
  stats.mana,      stats.maxmana, 
  stats.endurance, stats.maxendurance, 
  stats.willpower, stats.maxwillpower, 
  stats.exp,       stats.maxexp = 
    string.match (s, "^" ..
      "H:(%d+)/(%d+) " ..
      "M:(%d+)/(%d+) " ..
      "E:(%d+)/(%d+) " ..
      "W:(%d+)/(%d+) " ..
      "NL:(%d+)/(%d+)")
  
  if stats.health then
   
    hp, max_hp               = tonumber (stats.health),     tonumber (stats.maxhealth)
    mana, max_mana           = tonumber (stats.mana),       tonumber (stats.maxmana)
    endurance, max_endurance = tonumber (stats.endurance),  tonumber (stats.maxendurance)
    willpower, max_willpower = tonumber (stats.willpower),  tonumber (stats.maxwillpower)
    exp, max_exp             = tonumber (stats.exp),        tonumber (stats.maxexp)


    SetVariable ("max_hp", max_hp)

  end -- if
end -- function got_vitals
   


function sipper ()

     sip_hp  = GetVariable ("sip_hp")
     sip_bal = GetVariable ("sip_bal")

  if hp < sip_hp and sip_bal == "1" then
     Send ("sip health")
     SetVariable ("sip_bal", ".5")
  end -- if
end -- function


I'm trying to set the client variable max_hp to align with the script variable max_hp so that the variable will be constantly up-to-date, but something is wrong and the variable isn't changing...

Edit: also, function sipper () serves no purpose yet, just laying down a sort of skeleton for that part.

Yep, that's me. Twisol = Twilight Sun. And yeah, GMCP takes precedence over ATCP on IRE servers, and you can't have both enabled at once. Kind of annoying.

Nick, I have a GMCP plugin hosted on my site, based on the one someone else posted here previously.

In particular, this receives the ATCP data from the broadcast:


function OnPluginBroadcast (msg, id, name, text)
  if id == "85f72d0e263d75df7bde6f00" then
  
    if msg == 1 then
      got_vitals (text)
    end -- if   
 
  end -- if ATCP message
end


And this processes it:


function got_vitals (s)
  stats.health,    stats.maxhealth, 
  stats.mana,      stats.maxmana, 
  stats.endurance, stats.maxendurance, 
  stats.willpower, stats.maxwillpower, 
  stats.exp,       stats.maxexp = 
    string.match (s, "^" ..
      "H:(%d+)/(%d+) " ..
      "M:(%d+)/(%d+) " ..
      "E:(%d+)/(%d+) " ..
      "W:(%d+)/(%d+) " ..
      "NL:(%d+)/(%d+)")
  
  if stats.health then
   
    hp, max_hp               = tonumber (stats.health),     tonumber (stats.maxhealth)
    mana, max_mana           = tonumber (stats.mana),       tonumber (stats.maxmana)
    endurance, max_endurance = tonumber (stats.endurance),  tonumber (stats.maxendurance)
    willpower, max_willpower = tonumber (stats.willpower),  tonumber (stats.maxwillpower)
    exp, max_exp             = tonumber (stats.exp),        tonumber (stats.maxexp)
  
   
    -- draw/process stuff here

  end -- if
end -- function got_vitals

Well in that case take a look at this:

Template:post=10131 Please see the forum thread: http://gammon.com.au/forum/?id=10131.


That shows the health bar. Twisol's idea is nice, in my case I just had a big string.match. It's all in that plugin.

I'm probably completely out-of-date here, but this is my test plugin which uses GMCP (with the JSON format):


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE muclient>

<muclient>
<plugin
   name="ATCP2_Logger_MW"
   author="Nick Gammon"
   id="4a33087c6b66ca6c4611afed"
   language="Lua"
   purpose="Displays ATCP2 info"
   date_written="2010-07-14"
   requires="4.40"
   version="1.0"
   >

</plugin>

<!--  Script  -->


<script>
<![CDATA[

require "json"
require "tprint"

local IAC, SB, SE, DO = 0xFF, 0xFA, 0xF0, 0xFD

local ATCP = 200
local ATCP2 = 201

function Send_Telnet_Packet (what)
    SendPkt (string.char (IAC, SB, ATCP2) .. 
             what .. 
             string.char (IAC, SE))
end -- Send_Telnet_Packet

function OnPluginTelnetSubnegotiation (msg_type, data)
  if msg_type ~= ATCP2 then
    return
  end -- if not ATCP2
  
  ColourNote ("darkorange", "", data)
  
  message, params = string.match (data, "([%a.]+) (.*)")
  
  if not message then
    return
  end -- if
  
  if not string.match (params, "[%[{]") then
    params =  "[" .. params .. "]"  -- sigh
  end -- if 

  local t = json.decode (params)
  
  if type (t) == "table" then
    tprint (t)
  end -- if
   
end -- function OnPluginTelnetSubnegotiation

function OnPluginTelnetRequest (msg_type, data)

  if msg_type == ATCP2 and data == "WILL" then
    return true
  end -- if
  
  if msg_type == ATCP2 and data == "SENT_DO" then
    Note ("Enabling ATCP.")
    Send_Telnet_Packet (string.format ('Core.Hello { "client": "MUSHclient", "version": "%s" }', Version ()))
    Send_Telnet_Packet ('Core.Supports.Set [ "Char 1", "Char.Skills 1", "Char.Items 1" ]')
    return true
  end -- if ATCP login needed (just sent DO)
  
  return false

end -- function OnPluginTelnetRequest

]]>
</script>

</muclient>


Now the tprint in that displays this sort of stuff:


Char.Vitals { "hp": "594", "maxhp": "594", "mp": "440", "maxmp": "468", "ep": "1870", "maxep": "1870", "wp": "1240", "maxwp": "1240", "nl": "2", "string": "H:594/594 M:440/468 E:1870/1870 W:1240/1240 NL:2/100 " }
"wp"="1240"
"ep"="1870"
"maxhp"="594"
"hp"="594"
"nl"="2"
"maxep"="1870"
"maxmp"="468"
"mp"="440"
"maxwp"="1240"
"string"="H:594/594 M:440/468 E:1870/1870 W:1240/1240 NL:2/100 "


The bold stuff is the original JSON stuff, and decoded into the table, you can see things like:


"maxhp"="594"
"hp"="594"


So, omitting the debugging displays, and doing a tonumber on it, and then putting it into a nice status bar, you are almost done! I thought I had something that already did that, but it doesn't seem to work any more.

Nick's pretty much on the money here. As for string.match, that will capture one instance of a pattern you supply within a string. However, there are multiple things in that line that you'll want, so I'd use string.gmatch instead. You use it like this:

data = "H:496/496 M:412/412 E:1380/1380 W:960/960 NL:89/100 "
for stat, curr, max in string.gmatch(data, "(%w+):(%d+)/(%d+)") do
  curr, max = tonumber(curr), tonumber(max)
  
  -- Now you have the variables:
  -- stat is the stat letter (H, M, etc.)
  -- curr is the current value of the stat
  -- max is the highest value of the stat
end
