| | If my HP drops below a certain amount, lets say 1000, is there a way to use a trigger to send a result, or would I have to use scripting? Either way, could I get some ideas how to get this set up? |

| depends on what your prompt is...
but, for the hp youd use:
\d{1,3}
(this is as a regular expression)
that would match on 1 to 3 digits, which would be from 1-999
More info can be found at this thread (at the end it talks about not using scripting, just a regexp)

| What if the variable has a comma in it? Would that be treated as a extra digit?
Alright, I get this error:
Error number: -2146827838
Event: Execution of line 1 column 1
Description: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment: 'CLng'
Line in error:
Called by: Immediate execution
Its:
if CLng (%1) < 5000 then
Send "down"
end if
%1 is the first * in the trigger, which is HP.
[EDIT2] Hmm, looks like its having trouble with commas. How would I get this to work if the variable (HP) has commas? |

| Try:
if clng(replace("%1",",","")) > 5000 then
You have to place "" around things like %1 in commands used with 'send to script'. This is because VBScript would interpret the following like so:
%1 = Fred
becomes>
if Fred = "Fred" then ...
In other words the %1 directly substitutes in the script and VB thinks you are asking it to compare a VB 'variable' called Fred, not the value. In your case you are probably getting something like:
HP: 1,000
which VB turns into:
if Clng(1,000) < 5000 then
This 'would' work without the comma, since it is a number, but it isn't a good idea to get into the habit of expecting it to work. ;) | | Top |

| | Ah, yeah, just needed to allow it to see commas, I see. I got it working how I wanted it to, thanks. |
