I'm having trouble fixing a tick timer so that it works with my prompt. I'm about to pull my hair out. :)

In addition, I want to try to tie that in with a spell I need to monitor. There's no warning when the spell drops (I can't simply trigger a color change for the text), so I have to constantly check my affects otherwise. I can only cast it again after it drops, but if I'm in PK lag, I can't cast it again until the PK lag wears off, so it's super important to know -before- it falls so I don't get into PK without it.

The tick timer code (someone else's) I'm working with is thus:

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
keep_evaluating="y"
match="^\&lt;(\d+)\/(\d+)hp\, (\d+)\/(\d+)m\, (\d+)\/(\d+)mv\, (.*)\&gt; (?&lt;hour&gt;\d+)\:(?&lt;minute&gt;\d+)(am|pm)\."
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
variable="health"
>
<send>if %&lt;hour&gt; ~= old_hour or
%&lt;minute&gt; ~= old_minute then
old_hour = %&lt;hour&gt;
old_minute = %&lt;minute&gt;
DoAfterNote (34, "TICK IN 7 SECONDS!") -- 7 seconds warning
end -- if</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>


For the freaking life of me, I can't figure how how to make it work with MY prompt, which is:

<%h/%H %m/%M %v/%V %g %s %q> [%r|Exits: %e] [%S] %f %t %c


As far as the prayer thing, I have no idea how to even start figuring that part out. Here are the specs on the freshly cast spell:

Spell: prayer : modifies none by 0 for 20 cycles, (10 hours)

Can you show an actual (example) prompt, not just the prompt string?

Excepting when I'm flying, which would then look like this:


<1808/1808 1171/1181 406/406 382 96 12> [Chamber of Rest|Exits: SWD] [Offensive] (Flying) 9:30pm



That's HP, Mana Moves, Gold, Silver, Quest Ponits, Room name, exits, stance, Flying/Not flying and time.

Also, obviously the there are things that change in the prompt like mana and time, which is why they're not both exact. Flying doesn't display if I'm on the ground. Self-explanatory, obviously, but I want to make sure I'm being clear.

I just want to report now that I tried to edit my spelling error and the site told me "error, you are logged out" even though I was clearly logged in to be able to click "edit" on the post at all.

I went to post this and had to log in again becuase it gave me an error, as well.

The forum is acting very oddly, both in IE and Firefox, for me.

For the tick timer, something like this seems to work:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   keep_evaluating="y"
   match="^\&lt;(?&lt;hp&gt;\d+)\/\d+ (?&lt;mana&gt;\d+)\/\d+ (?&lt;moves&gt;\d+)\/\d+ \d+ \d+ \d+\&gt; \[(?&lt;room&gt;[^\]]+)\] \[(?&lt;stance&gt;[^\]]+)\] +(?&lt;flying&gt;\(Flying\))? ?(?&lt;hour&gt;\d+)\:(?&lt;minute&gt;\d+)(am|pm)"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
   variable="health"
  >
  <send>if %&lt;hour&gt; ~= old_hour or
%&lt;minute&gt; ~= old_minute then
  old_hour = %&lt;hour&gt;
  old_minute = %&lt;minute&gt;
  DoAfterNote (34, "TICK IN 7 SECONDS!") -- 7 seconds warning
end -- if</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

Check your affects every 10 or so seconds, and see if you have the spell on still?

No, cookies are enabled. I have no issues staying logged into any other site, for some reason it's just like I log in and then I got to submit my post and it says I'm not logged in.

And I COULD check my affects every 10 seconds, but in PK that's not reasonable. I can't keep track of it like that, I need some thing that will let me know before it's going to fall.

It lasts for 20 ticks, so I was hoping the timer could be used to track it.

I'm going to test what you've given me, now. Thanks for it, in advance.

Okay. it's not working. By that I mean it's been 10 minutes and I see no sign of a 7 second tick warning. :D

Edit the trigger and make it colour the line when it fires (that's how I tested it). Then you can see immediately if it is working. Perhaps there's a space there that I didn't allow for, but I tested on what you posted.

It seems there's a noticable gap when I'm not flying that's not there when I am.

So:

[Offensive] 5:30pm

vs

Offensive] (Flying) 1:00am



I don't know if that figures into it, but I imagine it must.

How many spaces are after (Flying)? Can you copy and paste an exact prompt with it in it?

I don't know if I'm incorrect (and it didn't display properly on my last post), but it looks like there are two spaces after [offensive] in the first and only one on either side of {Flying).

[Moderator edit] Added [code] tags.

Okay, when I post it, it doesn't look like what I'm seeing in my prompt.

I added code tags to preserve the spacing. Testing against both prompts they both fire for me.

Can you show what you are actually using?
