| I'm trying to figure out how to set a trigger to pop out a command 4 seconds after (triggered). Now, If something else happens during that time, I want the script to forget the first command, reset the timer, and fire off the second command, Again, Unless something else comes in.
For example.
Mikale retracts his right arm...
(4 seconds later)
dodge right <--- command
Now if Mikale attacked, Waited 3 seconds, then attacked again, I dont want that first block to go off, I want a timer to reset, and block 4 seconds after the second attack, Or third or fouth...
Any help? | | Top |

| Something like this should work, assuming it's only right/left arms/legs. If not, you'll need to edit the regexp. (note: the function is for Lua)
If you'd like to know how the mechanics of this work, please let me know. If it doesn't work, sorry in advance.
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
group="dodge_timer"
match="^.* retracts (?:his|her) (right|left) (?:arm|leg)\.\.\.$"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>AddTimer ("dodge_timer", 0, 0, 4, "dodge " .. "%1", timer_flag.Enabled + timer_flag.OneShot + timer_flag.Replace, "")</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

| Well, I've tried this out and it doesnt seem to work.
I know absolutely nothing about MushClient, I'm more of a Zmud person. I've got a buddy helping me. He knows alot of coding, But not so much in the Trigger/Scripting area, So anything explanitory you could add would be greatly appreciated. | | Top |

| What part isn't working? I tested it and it seems ok for me.
Basically, what I did was make a regexp (regular expression) trigger that triggers off of:
"<anything> retracts (his or her) (right or left) (arm or leg)..."
If the line is not EXACTLY like that, you'll need to fix the regexp.
Then, I set up a timer to send "dodge (right or left)" in 4 seconds. If a timer already exists, it overwrites and resets the timer.
Did you enable scripting, and set the language to Lua? | | Top |

Thats what it says when I load the file in.
Maybe theres a special way to load these files into Mush? | | Top |

| Yea..I figured it out right after I left that last post.
Once I loaded it in right, it worked. Thank you very much..
Now I can edit this one trigger to make everything else I need.
