| The other issue is that a GetVariable "plugin variable" and a "script variable" are two different kinds of things. You're setting script variables in ShowHealth, but trying to access plugin variables in your alias.
Solution: In ShowHealth, do something like this for each variable instead: SetVariable("hp", fulldata.Vitals.hp)

Edit: Okay figured out the problem. I have to actually do SetVariable within the plugin for it to be called: Prefer replying instead of editing if you have something new to add. I didn't see your edit because I had already posted a reply which wrapped onto the second page of the thread.

Now, can anyone help me pull the gmcp data for the Char.Team? It seems it's Char.Team.1 for first team member, Char.Team.2 for second team member, etc.
If you're using the GMCP_Demo.xml plugin, you'll need to edit OnPluginBroadcast to have it check for each individual message and call a new function instead of ShowHealth. If you're editing RoomName.plugin, you add a new GMCP.Listen() block for each message you're interested in, and you get the data as a parameter.
I'm not familiar with the Aardwolf GMCP plugin, and it uses opaque techniques (loadstring in particular) to bring arbitrary variables into scope, so it's hard to tell what OnPluginBroadcast is actually doing here. |

this is now my modified ShowHealth function within gmcp_demo:
It's best to post the complete plugin and the complete alias. You may be doing something wrong like not using the right plugin ID.

I get this error when loading the plugin: [string "Plugin"]:51: bad argument #2 to 'SetVariable' (string expected, got nil)
This is the data I receive when gmpcdebug 1 is set:
Char.Vitals { "hp":100, "mana":100, "fatigue":0, "bleeding":0 }
Char.Team [{"blood":"0", "hp":"100", "leader":"0", "name":"Chiara", "pos":"0"}, {"blood":"0", "hp":"100", "leader":"1", "name":"Nicole", "pos":"1"}]
So I'm not sure how to modify the CallPlugin for Char.Team as it contains the same stats for different team members. Supposedly Char.Vitals and Char.Team should be pulled together since they both have Char as the top level. Any ideas? | | Top |

| Try doing a tprint for debugging. It might become clearer:
require "tprint"
tprint (fulldata)

Bad typing on my part, but despite correcting it I still get the same error code:
[string "Plugin"]:50: bad argument #2 to 'SetVariable' (string expected, got nil)
There's just no data in Char.Team.hp I guess. I know the data's there since gmcpdebug 1 shows it as listed above.
And this what I get when I enable tprint and have it print the fulldata.
"Team":
1:
"name"="Chiara"
"pos"="0"
"leader"="0"
"hp"="100"
"blood"="0"
2:
"name"="Nicole"
"pos"="1"
"leader"="1"
"hp"="100"
"blood"="0"
"Vitals":
"fatigue"="0"
"mana"="50"
"hp"="100"
"bleeding"="0"
How do I grab that nested data within Team.1 and Team.2 using the GMCP_Demo.xml code? | | Top |

You might want to try calling them Team[1] and Team[2] instead. :) |

Hi Twisol!
How's the new client going?
Between work and a double-major at college, I haven't been able to spend any time on it for a long time now. It's in a usable state (full Telnet functionality, ANSI rendering with word wrapping, multi-line input), but the alias support is minimal, and there is no trigger functionality yet.
I should probably just upload it somewhere and let people try it. Unlike my original design, there's no need for a third-party proxy server: it runs entirely on your computer. The only requirement is that the MUD you're connecting to must have a WebSocket gateway, like the IRE games do. |

| Okay so on a similar note, I'm trying to set variables for up to 5 team members if the data is there.
I use this to set if if the Name for a team member # is not nil, but I get an error:
attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
If there are 2 team members, it seems to point to the line to set variables for Team[3] data as being nil.
Here's the portion of the plugin that errors out:
function ShowHealthTeam ()
if fulldata.Team[1].name ~= nil then
SetVariable ("T1_Name", fulldata.Team[1].name)
SetVariable ("T1_HP", fulldata.Team[1].hp)
SetVariable ("T1_Blood", fulldata.Team[1].blood)
SetVariable ("T1_Pos", fulldata.Team[1].pos)
end -- if
if fulldata.Team[2].name ~= nil then
SetVariable ("T2_Name", fulldata.Team[2].name)
SetVariable ("T2_HP", fulldata.Team[2].hp)
SetVariable ("T2_Blood", fulldata.Team[2].blood)
SetVariable ("T2_Pos", fulldata.Team[2].pos)
if fulldata.Team[3].name ~= nil then
SetVariable ("T3_Name", fulldata.Team[3].name)
SetVariable ("T3_HP", fulldata.Team[3].hp)
SetVariable ("T3_Blood", fulldata.Team[3].blood)
SetVariable ("T3_Pos", fulldata.Team[3].pos)
end -- if
end -- if
Do I have the syntax correct there?
I've tried these variations with the same error:
if not fulldata.Team[3].name then
if fulldata.Team[3].name ~= nil or "" then

| Try checking fulldata.Team[1] instead of fulldata.Team[1].name (for each team though, not just the 1st). If there is no 1st team, you'll basically have nil.name, which will cause your error. |

| Awesome, thanks again! That seems to have worked.
NOW just to play around and try to make for cleaner code, is it possible to do this? Instead of 8 instances of the same if/then groups, do a loop and replace the variable name with the number?
for x=1,8 do
if fulldata.Team&[x] ~= nil then
SetVariable ("Ti_Name", fulldata.Team[x].name)
SetVariable ("Ti_HP", fulldata.Team[x].hp)
SetVariable ("Ti_Blood", fulldata.Team[x].blood)
if fulldata.Team[x].pos == "0" then SetVariable ("Tx_Pos", "Front")
else SetVariable ("Tx_Pos", "Back")
end
end -- if
end
What I wrote there doesn't work and I suspect it's not replacing the numbers for i into the variables. | | Top |

| Oh and another question. The GMCP_Demo.xml plugin seems to maintain the table of data grabbed from the mud GMCP. So when a team member is no longer in the team, the plugin still seems to send old data?
I am almost sure that the MUD is not sending old data because gmcpdebug 1 or 2 shows the correct data.
Is there a command I can put into the plugin for it to erase/refresh the table of GMCP data each time it runs? | | Top |
