I need to know how to make it calculate stuff.

You won 20 implementor tokens!
You won 4000 questpoints!
You won 40 immortal tokens!
You win a (Diamond) scratch card!
You won 60 trains!
No matches! You lose! Better luck next time!

Those are some of the things I can win from a card.
I want to be able to turn the calculator on when i start scratching (and it would like...save them somewhere/somehow), then have a alias (manually operated) to sum up everything I have won when im done, and how many times I have lost of course. I've downloaded a script to calculate stuff for something different and I tried to understand it, but I just dont.

Here's where some wildcars or variables would go if you use them:

You won * implementor tokens!
You won * questpoints!
You won * immortal tokens!
You win a * scratch card!
You won * trains!

Example of it reporting:
say You have won X imps, X qps, X imms, X cards, X trains, and lost X amount of times so far.
----------------------------------------------------

Also want an alias to be able to reset all totals to 0 if possible.

If someone could code this for me please...or give me a huge huge huge huge huge huge omega hint on how to do it myself without mind numbing reading...that could be good too.

Make variables for each statistic you want to track. Have the trigger capture whatever is in the line and add it to that variable. Also, make sure to double check and make sure that the variables are actually there and that you convert them into numbers before trying to add them together. For example, in the trigger that matches "You won * implementor tokens!" you would have this in the send to script part:


imp = world.GetVariable( "implementor" );
if (imp == null) {
  world.setVariable( "implementor", wildcards[0]
} else {
  world.setVariable( "implementor", parseInt(imp) + parseInt(wildcards[0]) )
}

As for the alias to clear it, just set all the variables to 0 or delete them.

It is much easier to fight for one's ideals than to live up to them.

erm... this line: world.setVariable( "implementor", wildcards[0] should have a ) at the end of it. Sorry.

what about an alias to report how many of each I have won so far? and with the stuff you posted, is it already summing them up each time i win X of "whatever"?

maybe if you could show me a script that works with just one of the variables i want, i can move on from there?

Try this:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="You won * implementor tokens!"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

imps = GetVariable ("imps");

// first time variable won't exist
if (imps == null)
  imps = "0";

// save for later
SetVariable ("imps", parseInt (imps) + %1)

// note to screen
Note ("You have won " + GetVariable ("imps") + " imps so far")

</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

If you are new to scripting, I would use Lua instead of Jscript, it is less fiddly. This is what the trigger looks like in Lua:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="You won * implementor tokens!"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>
require "var"  -- converts MUSHclient variables to a Lua table

-- count them
var.imps = (var.imps or 0) + %1

-- note to screen
Note ("You have won " .. var.imps .. " imps so far")
</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

Do the same thing with +1 instead of +wildcards[0]. If there are multiple types of cards, then just name the variable as the card type name, and have the following:

<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="You win a (*) scratch card!"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

cards = world.GetVariable ("%1");

// first time variable won't exist
if (cards == null)
  cards = "0";

// save for later
world.SetVariable ("%1", parseInt (cards) + 1)

// note to screen
Note ("You have won " + world.GetVariable ("%1") + " %1 cards so far")

</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

I really hope I got the right version of %1 in there. I can never remember when I need a set of quotes around those.

ok, fixed up every instance of %1 now.

You need to quote them if you are doing that. Just think what would happen if the wildcard got literally inserted.

Say %1 is the word "blue" (but it won't be quoted) then it will generate this:



cards = GetVariable (blue);

That won't work as blue is being treated as a variable, not a literal. So, you need:



cards = GetVariable ("%1");

thanks for all the help, I think I can manage stuff now :)

On another topic, sorta, why doesnt the save_state="y" ever work? it always comes up with an error about being unable to create it or something.

I would need to see your whole plugin header to answer that. Is this a plugin you are talking about? Edit one of the existing ones to see how that is used. For example:


<muclient>
<plugin name="Random_Socials"
  author="Nick Gammon"
  language="Lua"
  id = "e032b4b7db80da78a87dc708"
  purpose = "Displays a random social from time to time"
  save_state = "y"
  date_written="2007-05-03 09:30"
  requires="3.80"
  version = "1.0"
  >

thats what it looks like.
keeps saying "Unable to create the plugin save state file".
Its always said this as far as i know, and I know that taking out the save_state line wont give me an error but it also wont save either im sure.

Double check your MUSHclient/worlds/plugins/state folder. Make sure it exists, and that you have permission to edit files there. If you do, try matching your worldid-pluginid to a savestate and delete that. Sometimes starting over like that can help.

For instance, if I installed a plugin with the id you just listed into my main world file, I would see this file:
4f290293a1feabfdc0be9e26-a9dea92c93314180d3e365cc-state.xml

See this post:

It could something to do with having to change your "plugins" folder in global configuration from a relative path to an absolute path.

Is there a way to capture a word from the buffer and have it write to a file the exact line containing that particular word? If it can only be captured "as I go" then thats fine too, but looking for a way to capture the line with the word thats in my buffer already.
