I would start indenting a bit, it makes it easier to debug. Also have you heard of multi-line literals? Instead of:


if IsHungry =="Yes" then
Send("cast 'create food'")
Send("get food")
Send("get food mass")
Send("eat food")
end--if

You can (if you wish) do:


if IsHungry == "Yes" then
Send([[
cast 'create food'
get food
get food mass
eat food]])
end--if

if IsHungry =="Yes" then
Send("cast 'create food'")
Send("get food")
Send("get food mass")
Send("eat food")
end--if

if IsThirsty =="Yes" then

end--if



if HpNeeded&gt;16 and CMa&gt;16 then
Send("cast 'cure minor'")
end--if

if HpNeeded &gt; 77 and CMa&gt; 77 then
Send("cast 'cure normal'")
end--if</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

re-enabled so far no errors. but will need to remove work arounds. To see if it works.

I got that too, but at least the trigger matched.

As to why, get the capitalization right, as I said before. Check the way you spelt that variable in two places.

Under AC you forgot to allow for the decimal point, plus you have to have "one or more" (a + sign) after it. This fires:

Thanks Nick re watched video and it was big help.
Then I added HpNeeded = MHp - CHp

kept getting expected '=' near HpNeeded

Went through script and it was a capital IF instead of small if

fixed that.

Then I got trying to do math with nil value. So tried the SetVariable(GetVariable isnumber)) thing you showed me in wholist counter minus or zero thing.

Didn't work. So I tried to convert my trigget to regular expression. Like you showed on one of your forumn pages when you was naming wildcards and and changing wildcards from stings to decimals.

Summary How do I convert this:


<578/578Hp 104/104Ma 331/331Mv AC:-4.3 Continent:Vk Weather:overcast>

So that the wildcards I get are


<(Digit wildcard)/(Digit wildcard)Hp (Digit wildcard)/(Digit wildcard)Ma (Digit wildcard)/(Digit wildcard)Mv AC:(Signed Decimal wildcard) Continent:* Weather:*>

Using Regualar Expression.

Question
1. What is correct syntax for regular expression of prompt above.
2. Looking for Link to your tutorial showing how to do so, also. For reference.

Here is my attempt and it doesn't do anything now unfortunately. If I figure it out before you answer I will delete this.


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   expand_variables="y"
   group="Prompt"
   match="^\&lt;(\D)\/(\D)Hp (\D)\/(\D)Ma (\D)\/(\D)Mv AC\:([0-9+-]) Continent\:(.*?) Weather\:(.*?)\&gt;$"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>Chp = %1
MHp = %2 
CMa = %3
MMa = %4
CMv = %5
MMv = %6




Hpneeded = MHp - CHp

if %7&gt;-5 then
Send("|")
Send("cast 'stone skin'")
end--if

if IsHungry =="Yes" then
Send("cast 'create food'")
Send("get food")
Send("get food mass")
Send("eat food")
end--if

if IsThirsty =="Yes" then
Send("get barrel mass")
Send("drink barrel")
Send("cast 'create water' barrel")
end--if



if HpNeeded&gt;16 and CMa&gt;16 then
Send("cast 'cure minor'")
end--if

if MyHpNeeded &gt; 77 and CMa&gt; 77 then
Send("cast 'cure normal'")
end--if</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

Here is link I used trying to get it right.

I got your trigger to match (fire) - providing there is nothing else on the line. If you have something after the prompt, you may want to put in a trailing asterisk.

I don't understand what you are doing here:


if IndoorsOutdoors == "indoors" then
  SetVariable("IndoorsOutdoors","Indoors")
  IndoorsOutdoors ="Indoors"
else
  SetVariable("IndoorsOutdoors","Outdoors")
  IndoorsOutdoors ="Outdoors"
end--if

You are setting two types of variables everywhere - MUSHclient variables, and Lua variables. How about deciding which one you want to use and stick with that? This is just making your code twice as long and twice as confusing.

See this, it explains the difference:

I know easy way is to make trigger that fires on the words you are hungry. But I am mostly interested in learning to use variables.

Sorry Physical Appearance of my prompt is.

Send("|")

Sends command to mud to clear buffer of all previous commands.

No question, Well not with what I have. Right now I am trying to get the IsHungry to fire only once now.

I am monkeying with your wait.time function. Hoping that will fix it. Didn't expect such a quick response. So no question yet want to mess with it some more, before I ask. Thought the above was working perfectly until I got hungry.

Ok yes i do have question.

I think problem is that even thought I have trigger set to switch IsHungry from Yes to No. My script seems to me firing 3 or more times .

Here are all my Triggers
Mud tells me I am Hungry. So I made trigger Set Variable IsHungry to Yes.


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   expand_variables="y"
   group="FoodandWater"
   match="*You are hungry.*"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>SetVariable("IsHungry","Yes")
IsHungry = "Yes"</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

Prompt Sees IsHungry is Yes
So it
casts create food spell
gets food
and i eat food.
I added wait 21 seconds in hopes that it would give propmpt time to see that ISHungry is Now No. That will come from trigger after prompt trigger.

This is current Prompt trigger.


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   expand_variables="y"
   group="Prompt"
   match="&lt;*/*Hp */*Ma */*Mv AC:* Continent:* Weather:*&gt;"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

SetVariable("CHp","%1")
SetVariable("MHp","%2")
SetVariable("CMa","%3")
SetVariable("MMa","%4")
SetVariable("CMv","%5")
SetVariable("MMv","%6")
SetVariable("AC","%7")
SetVariable("Continent","%8")
SetVariable("IndoorsOutdoors","%9")


CHp=GetVariable("CHp")
MHp=GetVariable("MHp")
CMa=GetVariable("CMa")
MMa=GetVariable("MMa")
CMv=GetVariable("CMv")
MMv=GetVariable("MMv")
AC=GetVariable("AC")
Continent=GetVariable("Continent")
IndoorsOutdoors=GetVariable("IndoorsOutdoors")

IndoorsOutdoors=GetVariable("IndoorsOutdoors")
IsFighting=GetVariable("IsFighting")
IsHungry=GetVariable("IsHungry")
IsRelaxing=GetVariable("IsRelaxing")
IsSleep=GetVariable("IsSleep")
IsStanding=GetVariable("IsStanding")
IsThirsty=GetVariable("IsThirsty")
Location=GetVariable("Location")
StoneSkin=GetVariable("StoneSkin")
Target=GetVariable("Target")
Trackie=GetVariable("Trackie")


if IndoorsOutdoors == "indoors" then
SetVariable("IndoorsOutdoors","Indoors")
IndoorsOutdoors ="Indoors"
else
SetVariable("IndoorsOutdoors","Outdoors")
IndoorsOutdoors ="Outdoors"
end--if


if IsHungry == "Yes" then
require "wait"
wait.make (function ()
wait.time (21)
Send("|")
Send("cast 'create food'")
Send("get food")
Send("eat food")
end)
end--if

if StoneSkin == "Off" and CMa&gt;25  then
Send("|")
Send("cast 'stone skin'")
end--if

if IsThirsty == "Yes" then
require "wait"
wait.make (function ()
wait.time (21)
Send("|")
Send("get barrel mass")
Send("drink barrel")
Send("cast 'create water' barrel")
end)
end--if
</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

After I eat Mud tell me I am no longer hungry.
So I want to make IsHungry equal to No.
Here is No longer hungry trigger.


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   expand_variables="y"
   group="FoodandWater"
   match="*You are no longer hungry.*"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>SetVariable("IsHungry","No")
IsHungry=GetVariable("IsHungry")
IsHungry = "No"
</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

I have compare string to number error in prompt trigger but I will fix that later.
