(^A being clothed in white appears before you\.$)|(^Do what\.?$)|(^The dead have no need to fight\.$)")
The original code for that was this:
x = wait.regexp ("^The .*? (is slain!)|(flees in panic!)|(^There is no .*? here\.$)|(^You can\'t attack yourself!$)|
(^A being clothed in white appears before you\.$)|(^Do what\.?$)", 1)
But I am to understand you can't use wait in a function, so it had to be replaced. I tried replacing it with this:
x = match.regexp ("^The .*? (is slain!)|(flees in panic!)|(^There is no .*? here\.$)|(^You can\'t attack yourself!$)|
(^A being clothed in white appears before you\.$)|(^Do what\.?$)")
I thought I had seen match.regexp used somewhere before, but apparently there's no such function.
So, I am still trying to figure out how to replace x = wait.regexp (....) with some similar code that will work in a function.

Certainly it can. He's not saying that it can't be used in a function. This is the critical line that is being disagreed with:

But I don't need the alias in order to test if this function is working (fundamentally). If it doesn't work by calling it directly, then it's not going to work by having an alias "on top" of it.
You need to understand that this function isn't as self-contained as it might appear. To use this function, it must be called from within a wait.make() block, because it assumes that it can use wait.match(). So it's valid to call from your alias because your alias uses the wait module. However, you can't do a naive call of the function. If you want to call it standalone, you'd need to call it like this:
wait.make(function()
mobkillengine("dark link")
end)
If you called it straight (i.e. directly from the main line of execution instead of from a wait coroutine), it wouldn't work, because there is no active coroutine to pause and resume. |
