This is something someone posted that worked on ZMUD and I wanted to figure out how to make it work for MUSHClient...

This is what the game currently displays:

Inside the open large durable burlap travel pack you see: roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, half eaten roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf, roasted verbena leaf


I want it to display:

Inside the open large durable travel pack you see:
20 roasted verbena leaf(s)


I want this to work for all containers, though.

This is what he had for ZMUD:

#TRIGGER {Inside the (*) you see:(*)} {Item.Container=%1;Item.List=%2;#SUB {Inside the @Item.Container you see:};#LOOPDB %Countlist( %replace( %replace( %replace( @Item.List, ", ", "|"), " a ", " "), " an ", " ")) {#SHOW %Val %Key}}


How might this be worded for MUSHClient?

Thank you.

One thing I did to change this was Checked Omit from Output, and changed "script" to "Script (after omit)" to avoid showing the inventory both ways.

Otherwise, this worked perfect. Much Appreciated.



EDIT! Oh, one more thing, when the container is empty, that space after what's in it is generally just empty. Any way to say if %2=nil, don't display 1 (s)?

Yeah, you'll want to re-import the version from my post, I have a bad habit of editing things after the fact to polish them up. >_>

(The only difference right now is that I also checked Omit from Log and Keep Evaluating, so you could just do that yourself if you want.)

Inside the open forged steel coffer you see:
1 (s)

How do i tell it to not say 1 (s) and maybe say "nothing" if nothing is in there? Normally when i look at a container with nothing it just says...

Hmm. Change the match pattern to ^(Inside the (?:.*?) you see:)( (?:.+))$ . That makes the trigger not match at all if there's nothing inside.

Perfect! Changed note to ColourNote and made it light gray, so it's not such a sore thumb. but other than that, it seems to work swimmingly.

Thank you once again!

Oh, is there any way to alter the format for when this is only 1 to leave off the count and (s), but still list it?

This should work. Changes marked in bold.

The and/or trick there is almost (but not quite) identical to the traditional ?: ternary operator, if you have any experience with that. Otherwise, you can consider it similar to:

var plural
if v != 1 then
  plural = "(s)"
else
  plural = ""
end


[EDIT]: Oh, you also wanted to remove the count? I think that would make the output kind of ugly, but sure.
for k,v in pairs(counts) do
  if v == 1 then
    Note(k)
  else
    Note(("%i %s(s)"):format(v, k)
  end
end

I only wanted to remove the count on 1, since some items are worded as "a pair of boots" "some soft linens" "Some marks"

When i look in a container and see "1 some marks" i keep confusing it for it saying there is only 1 mark in that container. That's the equivalent of a penny... haha.

Only tried this part so far, getting an error.

Compile error
World: Isles of Aedin
Immediate execution
[string "Trigger: "]:18: '=' expected near 'plural'

Have it sending to script after omit... could that be causing this?

still getting the same error. The issue is with the = after "var plural", it would seem. :-/

No, that's just the first place it noticed there was an error. The real problem is that I've been using Javascript far too much lately, and I used 'var' instead of 'local'. (Go ahead and change that. I promise it will work, or so help me...)
