would make a nice first assignment.

It's not clear that you can do that with this particular plugin idea, since Aardwolf does not send hunger or thirst through the prompt. You'd have to read those values another way.

I don't have a mud output, I'm trying to figure out how to get this to work with Armageddon Mud, and was wondering how I get this to read my promptbar. I noticed in the script it said 'get trigger=' then a group of variables.
Is this a trigger I write if so how? How do I change the plugin to read it, then use it?

For instance, I use a prompt format of:~

HP%H/%h ST%T/%t MV%V/%v\n %A/%n/%E/%e >

%H/h Health %T/t Stun
%V/v Movement \n New line
%A Armed status %n name
%E Encumberance level %e time of day

the parts I'd want to grab are Health Stun and Movement (with an extra option for a mana addition to the prompt bar)

So seeing as the Prompt values vary between PC and PC I'd need a trigger that read my first line of prompt values as wildcards, right?

so something like HP%1/%2 ST%3/%4 MV%5/%6

This would fire every-time my health, stun, movement, and mana if present are sent to Mush-client, correct?

I'm new at this, and this would be the first bit of scripting past single command aliases I've ever done, so getting it from the MUD to the script is getting me stuck.

Hi, I'm new to this whole plugin/scripting thing, and I'm trying to figure out how I would get this to work to capture the prompt bar from a trigger.

In the plugin script it says
- <triggers>
<trigger enabled="y" match="^.*?\[(\d+)\/(\d+)hp\|(\d+)\/(\d+)mp\|(\d+)\/(\d+)mv\]$"

I'm not sure if I'm getting this right but in there I'd create a Trigger, like one with the name Promptbar, that would be the trigger to match on instead of the actual promt text itself, then I could modify what the trigger fires on, right?

so instead it would read

- <triggers>
<trigger enabled="y" match="promptbar"

Then I would make a trigger called promptbar and have it fire on

HP%1/%2 M%3/%4 MV%5/%6 ST%7/%8

That would work if my staus bar read as above, right?

I've edited the script to need one to type score and the prompt formatting. I load it and it type score and hit enter a few times and get no errors but the miniwindow does not display.



Prompt:

Score:
O==========================={  Health  }==============================O
|CUR Pl: [   84,587,890] CUR KI: [   83,331,246] CUR STA: [   83,316,014]

Ah, apologies. I was under the impression that I could pull variables like I usually do (I usually do all of my work inside the world, with only minor projects in plugins).

With GetPluginVariable, it works beautifully. Thank you very much for the help, as well as for the link up to the functions' page. Much appreciated on both counts!

Well you didn't exactly mention that you were trying to get a variable inside a plugin that exists outside the plugin. Each plugin, and the main world, have independent script and variable "spaces".

However it can be done.

Template:function=GetPluginVariable GetPluginVariable

The documentation for the GetPluginVariable script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.



If you call that with an empty string as the plugin ID then you will get the main world variable. eg.


maxend = GetPluginVariable ("", "MaxEnd")


You don't need to use tostring, GetVariable always returns strings (or nil if the variable doesn't exist).

Yes, I do.

And if I execute
ColourNote("","",tostring(GetVariable("MaxEnd")))
It does respond appropriately. So the variable itself seems to be okay, as long as I'm executing it from the world and not the plugin.

If you open world configuration, and near the bottom at the Variables tab, do you see the variable "MaxEnd"?

I've got the code and got it working with a few minor modifications. Works beautifully, save for one thing.

I, too, have a prompt which does not define the maximum values. At present, I have them hard coded in. Due to the way that I've been building up my system, I DO have the values readily available in variables.

But I can't seem to CALL them. Tried several variations of a standard getvariable line, to no avail. Is there a way to call a variable into this script, and if so, how does one do it?

What I've got at present is as follows:
max_endurance = world.GetVariable ("MaxEnd") or 402

It's picking up the 402, so if nothing else I'm pretty certain that I have the line in the right area of the script.

Any assistance you can give me would be much appreciated.

I don't have the resources to actually code plugins for individual players, for each one of the 1000 or so MUDs around.

I try to distribute examples and explain how they work. If they work without change, that's great. Hopefully the changes needed to make them work on a different MUD are minor.

And indeed it sounds like you got it to work for your MUD as well. But to make major changes like incorporating members of a group, for a MUD I don't play (and I don't think you mentioned the name of), requires some work by you, the player.

You will learn a lot more, and empower yourself to make even better plugins, by trying to do things yourself. If I do it, you haven't learned anything, and tomorrow you will want me to do something else.

If you aren't sure, try reading the "Programming in Lua" online book:

http://www.lua.org/pil/

Experiment with the Immediate window to see how simple script commands work.

I've done a number of YouTube videos showing how to do things, like scripting, making aliases, triggers and plugins:

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?bbtopic_id=120

It validates the time I have taken to produce those, if people look at them, and experiment with the ideas shown there.
