now i don't know from where to start. i would like to create on alias/trigger which uses the where command (aardwolf) to locate the mob and if successful uses aard mapper to do mapper area location

where <mob>
response to previous command: <mob> <location>
mapper area <location>

how do i get the <location> into the variable?

Can you post actual example output?

Basically you need a trigger to match whatever it is that gives the mob's location.

The Entrance to a Large Forest
  You have stumbled upon a well-trampled path that leads deeper into a lush
forest.  Game can be heard off to the north, and a small wisp of smoke can be
seen in the distance.  

[ Exits: north west ]
     A crude sign that points north is staked into the ground.

where fish is my command. would probably create an alias mwhere * and the line after that is the respons to my where command

i found one solution, it's not bulletproof, but works inb most cases.

first i created alias mfw * with script content

print ("-- begin --")
Simulate ("-- mob search --")
Execute ("where %1")


firstline print is to get allways the new line. then i created a trigger: ^\-\- mob search \-\-\n(.+)[ \t]{2,}(.+)$


room = "%2"
cmd = string.format ("mapper area %s", room)
Execute (cmd)


now the not bulletproof issue. incase mobs name is so long, that there won't be more than 1 spaces between mob and room name, it will not work.

maybe someone has better solution? can i get the rooms name with aardwolf gmcp?

I believe so, but I haven't used it for a while. Try asking Fiendish.

i started digging into aardwolf's gmcp plugin. with trial and error i managed to get the info into the room variable:


res, gmcparg = CallPlugin("3e7dedbe37e44942dd46d264", "gmcpval", "room.info")

luastmt = "room = " .. gmcparg
assert (loadstring (luastmt or "")) ()


can someone explain the code syntax for me? like why does the first line start with res, what does the 2nd and 3rd line do?

or some link to the info would help also.

thank you!

Well let's work through it. Logging in and typing the first line with a scripting prefix, nothing seems to happen:


/ res, gmcparg = CallPlugin("3e7dedbe37e44942dd46d264", "gmcpval", "room.info")


Now let's print the two values returned from CallPlugin:


/ print (res, gmcparg)


I get:


0 {
  coord = {
    y = "20",
    x = "30",
    cont = "0",
    id = "0",
    },
  num = "35233",
  exits = {
    e = "35235",
    w = "35234",
    s = "35229",
    n = "35308",
    },
  terrain = "afountain",
  details = "",
  name = "Academy Courtyard Fountain",
  zone = "academy",
  }


The zero means "this went OK", and the rest is the GMCP stuff as a text string.

Now if I do the second line:


/ luastmt = "room = " .. gmcparg


And print the resulting variable:


/ print (luastmt)


I get:


room = {
  coord = {
    y = "20",
    x = "30",
    cont = "0",
    id = "0",
    },
  num = "35233",
  exits = {
    e = "35235",
    w = "35234",
    s = "35229",
    n = "35308",
    },
  terrain = "afountain",
  details = "",
  name = "Academy Courtyard Fountain",
  zone = "academy",
  }


That looks like something that will define a table. So we now evaluate that:


/ assert (loadstring (luastmt or "")) ()


That should have turned that Lua text into a table. Let's check:


/ require "tprint"; tprint (room)


I get:


"coord":
  "y"="20"
  "x"="30"
  "cont"="0"
  "id"="0"
"num"="35233"
"exits":
  "n"="35308"
  "e"="35235"
  "s"="35229"
  "w"="35234"
"details"=""
"terrain"="afountain"
"name"="Academy Courtyard Fountain"
"zone"="academy"


So now, room.num is our room number, like this:


/ print (room.num)


Results:


35233


So in short, to get the room number you would do this:


res, gmcparg = CallPlugin("3e7dedbe37e44942dd46d264", "gmcpval", "room.info")
luastmt = "room = " .. gmcparg
assert (loadstring (luastmt or "")) ()
room_number = tonumber (room.num)

Template:faq=37 Please read the MUSHclient FAQ - point 37.


For each line you would need a regular expression (or ordinary match text) along the lines of: * *

Where the first wildcard is the name and the second the rest of the line after the space.

straight out of the sample_plugin.xml

j) Use the OnPluginInstall callback routine to do any customising you might want when the plugin is first loaded (eg. setting up variables). You might also use this opportunity to move variables from MUSHclient variables to local variables.


Pulled from another plugin...

function OnPluginInstall()
blablabla


And searched off the site.
