| The problem is that the Variable "scalemailwearstr" is only being set to "wear" and not wear plus the scale mail id.
Here is my code/script
local scalemailid
scalemailid = GetVariable("scalemailid")
scalemailwearstr = "wear ", scalemailid
if scalemailid == nil then
Note ("scalemailid is not defined")
else
DoAfter (3.5, scalemailwearstr)
end
Also I would prefer to instead of using the DoAfter command use somthing that would wait for a certain string of text to be printed like a trigger inside of a trigger but I have no idea if this is possable or what the command is .
Thank you very much for any help.
The happy one. | | Top |

| Sorry I figured it out, still learning.
But I would still like to know if there is a way to wait for a string to be printed before carrying on to the DoAfter. | | Top |

| | Couldn't you set a trigger to do something like set a variable and have a heartbeat timer to do the action. Or create a trigger to call the a function to do the command? |
Everything turns around in the end | | Top |

What do you mean "be printed"?
Like this?
local scalemailid
scalemailid = GetVariable("scalemailid")
scalemailwearstr = "wear " .. scalemailid
if scalemailid == nil then
Note ("scalemailid is not defined")
else
print ("about to do: " .. scalemailwearstr)
DoAfter (3.5, scalemailwearstr)
end
I presume you worked out you have to use .. to concatenate strings. |

| I think with his trigger in a trigger comment, he's looking for wait.lua.
for example, if your mud does something like "buy scalemail", and then makes you wait a heartbeat or three while the smithy retrieves it...
require "wait"
function BuyStuff(aliasname, line, wildcards)
Boughtitem = wildcards[1]
wait.regexp("The smithy hands you your purchase.")
Send ("wear " .. Boughtitem)
end

| Wow, That is great thanks everybody got it perfect.
Sorry about being a little "Abstract" with my question.
Here is code to anybody who wants it:
local scalemailid
scalemailid = GetVariable("scalemailid")
if scalemailid == nil then
Note ("scalemailid is not defined")
else
require "wait"
wait.make (function ()
wait.regexp("You have recovered balance on all limbs.")
SendImmediate ("wear ", scalemailid)
end)
end

| | There is no need to repeat to include 'require 'wait' within if-else statement in your code, Happyhellodude. Just put it at the beginning of the code, this way its better. :) | | Top |
