I need scipt that shows my prots and how long those have been on. I tried to do it myself but no success =(
here is how someone has done it in zmud:

#echo ### StatusBar Triggers (Camping and Prots) ###
#var prots {} {}
#var protstimed {} {}
#alias check {#if (@prots<>"") {party report say Prots: @{prots}} {party report say Prots: NONE}}
#alias clear {#var prots {} {};#var campstatus {Available} {}}
#alias timer {#math %1 (%time(yyyy)-1970)*365*24*60*60);#math %1 @%1+(%time(m)*30*24*60*60);#math %1 @%1+(%time(d)*24*60*60);#math %1 @%1+(%time(h)*60*60);#math %1 @%1+(%time(n)*60);#math %1 @%1+%time(s)}
#alias formattime {timer currenttime;#math tmptime @currenttime-@%1;#math tmpmin @tmptime/60;#math tmpsek @tmptime-(@tmpmin*60)];#if (@tmpmin=0) {#var timed [@{tmpsek}s]} {#var timed [@{tmpmin}m@{tmpsek}s]}}
#echo ### Prot Triggers ###
#trigger {You suddenly feel magically heavier.} {timer hwtime;party report say Heavy Weight Active.;#if !%ismember(HW,@prots) {#var prots %additem(HW,@prots)}} {prot-t}
#trigger {You feel lighter, but it doesn't seem to affect your weight!} {formattime hwtime;party report say Heavy Weight Expires. ~[[@{timed}]~];#var prots %delitem(HW,@prots)} {prot-t}

shows in game something like:
xxx [party]: Prots: HW (1:31) Unstun (0:20)

This looks like something that displays the duration a spell's been active, but unfortunately the script is a non-comprehensible maze. Can you specify how the information should be displayed, and what the lines are exactly for individual spells becoming active and fading? Looks like the information is sent to some channel, but if so then how often does that happen?

ok, hope this is bit clearer =)

#var protstimed {} {}
#alias check {#if (@prots<>"") {party report say Prots: @{prots}} {party report say Prots: NONE}}
#alias clear {#var prots {} {}}
#alias timer {
#math %1 (%time(yyyy)-1970)*365*24*60*60);
#math %1 @%1+(%time(m)*30*24*60*60);
#math %1 @%1+(%time(d)*24*60*60);
#math %1 @%1+(%time(h)*60*60);
#math %1 @%1+(%time(n)*60);
#math %1 @%1+%time(s)
}
#alias formattime {
timer currenttime;
#math tmptime @currenttime-@%1;
#math tmpmin @tmptime/60;
#math tmpsek @tmptime-(@tmpmin*60)];
#if (@tmpmin=0)
{#var timed [@{tmpsek}s]}
{#var timed [@{tmpmin}m@{tmpsek}s]}
}
#echo ### Prot Triggers ###
#trigger {
You suddenly feel magically heavier.} {
timer hwtime;
party report say Heavy Weight Active.;
#if !%ismember(HW,@prots) {
#var prots %additem(HW,@prots)}} {prot-t
}
#trigger {
You feel lighter, but it doesn't seem to affect your weight!} {
formattime hwtime;
party report say Heavy Weight Expires. ~[[@{timed}]~];
#var prots %delitem(HW,@prots)} {prot-t
}

+ triggers for n+1 others spells.

so this script should display only spells that are casted and theirs times, and only from players demand. So theres no need to make it report every 10sec or so.
so it shouldnt look like:
xxx [party]: unstun (1:20) unpain (0:20) fabs N/A flexshield N/A etc.... cos it would be too damn long
the way it should be:
check
xxx [party]: prots: NONE or
check
xxx [party]: prots: unstun (0:10) flexshield (0:12)

hope this wasnt too messy =)

Well, first off, you didn't document anything about your script. I can sort of get some of the gist of it (not the timing part) but that's it. I'm not sure what your "prot members" string is, but in vbscript you'd have to use arrays. See

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbsubject_id=3754

it's a good post on arrays :p I don't know anything about times in vbscript at all, is there anychance you could post a -walk- through of what your code does as opposed to pasting your undocumented zmud code?

When I switched from zmud to mushclient, I originally tried to convert all of my scripts over, now I realize it's just best not to even look at the zmud scripts, and rewrite your scripts for mushclient on their own :p

Yep, that makes a bit more sense. Oookay... the 'timer' alias looks like some twisted way of getting a timediff, lets see...

Here's a plugin that does all the same things as your script, has the same 'check' and 'clear' aliases to control it, plus 2 triggers to add/remove the Heavy Weight prot. Both triggers should send to scripting, adding trigger should call the AddProt sub and send the report directly to the world, this is the contents of its Send box:


call AddProt("prot_name")
world.send "party report say prot_name active!"

removing trigger calls the RemoveProt sub and do an opposite announce:


call RemoveProt("prot_name")
world.send "party report say prot_name expires!"

You can copy the bellow code, paste it into an empty text file, save as "ProtsReport.xml" in your plugins folder, and install the resulting file as Mushclient's plugin. Note that only the script was tested - triggers and aliases might be off.

wow! it worked like a charm! just the way I wanted it =) many many many thanks to you =)

First of all, thank you!
I was also looking for exactly what this plugin does.

However, since I'm clueless with scripting I'd like to ask how to do a little extra to that script:

Certain prots in BatMud, the game for which the above example was, give the same message when cast on you regardless of the protection type (fire,acid,mana,physical etc.)

When one of those is cast on you, you would see something like this:

--
Frodo utters the magic words 'hot hot not zeis daimons'
You sense a powerful protective aura around you.
--
The 'hot hot not zeis daimons' -part tells what type of spell has been cast, but the part that says it's been cast on you stays the same.

Here's an example of zmud-triggers someone made for this:

echo Loading Conjurer Prots...
#trigger {You sense a powerful protective aura around you.} {#if (@conjprot=force) {timer forcetime;p~' Force Absorbsion UP};#if (@conjprot=fire) {timer firetime;p~' Heat Reduction UP};#if (@conjprot=cold) {timer coldtime;p~' Frost Insulation UP};#if (@conjprot=poison) {timer poisontime;p~' Toxic Dilution UP};#if (@conjprot=magic) {timer magictime;p~' Magic Dispersion UP};#if (@conjprot=acid) {timer acidtime;p~' Corrosion Shield UP};#if (@conjprot=electric) {timer electrictime;p~' Energy channeling UP};#if (@conjprot=asphx) {timer asphxtime;p~' Ether Boundary UP};#if (@conjprot=psi) {timer psitime;p~' Psychic Sanctuary UP}} {prot}

#trigger {toughen da mind reeez un biis} {#var conjprot psi} {prot}

I'd be happy to give you more information if someone is interested in helping out.
