Hello there I am again :)

I hope you can help me. I am using this alias to do research in Mud. Of course there are objects that don't exist because there is no description.

So when I run the alias I get the feedback “XY nicht gefunden.”

Now, if this happens, I want the alias not to save this in the log. 


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="^b ([A-z]+)$"
   enabled="y"
   group="Forschen"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>SetLogInput (true)
vitem = "%1"
LogSend("untersuche "..vitem)
LogSend("lausche "..vitem)
LogSend("rieche "..vitem)
LogSend("beruehre "..vitem)
LogSend("fuehle "..vitem)
FlushLog()
</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>


Now I have customized the alias. 


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="^b ([A-z]+)$"
   enabled="y"
   group="Forschen"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>    
    vitem = "%1"
    SendNoEcho("untersuche "..vitem)  
    SendNoEcho("lausche "..vitem)
    SendNoEcho("rieche "..vitem)
    SendNoEcho("beruehre "..vitem)
    SendNoEcho("fuehle "..vitem)


    function CheckResult(result)
      if not string.find(result, "nicht gefunden") then
        SetLogInput(true)
        LogSend("untersuche "..vitem)
        LogSend("lausche "..vitem)
        LogSend("rieche "..vitem)
        LogSend("beruehre "..vitem)
        LogSend("fuehle "..vitem)
        FlushLog()
      end
    end
    GetResponse("CheckResult")</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>


But unfortunately Mushclient tells me this error.


[string "Alias: "]:22: attempt to call global 'GetResponse' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
	[string "Alias: "]:22: in main chunk


Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks!

/edit: Ah, that's because the GetResponse function does not exist in the MUSHclient. The MUSHclient does not have a built-in system to wait directly for the server response and process it before taking any further action. Right?

Yes. Did ChatGPT write that? It tends to make up functions it hopes exists.

Read this: http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=4957

It shows how you can send something and wait for a response.

Hello Nick!

First of all, thank you for answering me. No, I did not use ChatGPT. I had several browser tabs open at the time and used the wrong function.

I didn't even know that I could ask ChatGPT about it. Good to know, but I don't think an AI can help me here. That's where I need you! :)

But if I look at your link, I don't think I can implement the whole thing. My experience in Lua/Scripting is very basic.

Too bad. Thank you anyway.

BR

Simple example from that page:


require "wait"

wait.make (function ()  --- coroutine below here

  repeat
    Send "cast heal"
    line, wildcards = 
       wait.regexp ("^(You heal .*|You lose your concentration)$", 10)

  until line and string.match (line, "heal")

  -- wait a second for luck
  wait.time (1) 

  Note ("heal done!")

end)  -- end of coroutine

OK, so you are basically sending "investigate XY" and you possibly might get the response "XY not found" or "XY (something else)".

So you could do what I posted above and send "investigate XY" and then wait for a line starting with "XY" and if it isn't followed by "not found" then log it and then do your next research, namely "listen XY" and so on.

Something like that. :)

That is correct. I send the alias “b boden” and get this output back:

b boden
untersuche boden
lausche boden
rieche boden
beruehre boden
fuehle boden

Text from untersuche
202/202AP 213/213PE 113EP 12:44> my Prompt
Text from lausche
202/202AP 213/213PE 113EP 12:44> my Prompt
Text from rieche
202/202AP 213/213PE 113EP 12:44> my Prompt
Text from berühre
202/202AP 213/213PE 113EP 12:44> my Prompt
Text from fühle
202/202AP 213/213PE 113EP 12:44> my Prompt

My current alias now saves the echo of my alias:

b boden
untersuche boden
lausche boden
rieche boden
beruehre boden
fuehle boden

It works perfectly! What I want now is. If I type in “b xdxdxd” I get

b xdxdxd
untersuche xdxdxd
lausche xdxdxd
rieche xdxdxd
beruehre xdxdxd
fuehle xdxdxd

Xdxdxd nicht gefunden. (it means in german "Xdxdxd not found."
202/202AP 213/213PE 115EP 13:00> my promot
Xdxdxd nicht gefunden.
202/202AP 213/213PE 115EP 13:00>
Xdxdxd nicht gefunden.
202/202AP 213/213PE 115EP 13:00>
Xdxdxd nicht gefunden.
202/202AP 213/213PE 115EP 13:00>
Xdxdxd nicht gefunden.
202/202AP 213/213PE 115EP 13:00>

That the echo (Commandecho/Inputecho?) I mean this:

b xdxdxd
untersuche xdxdxd
lausche xdxdxd
rieche xdxdxd
beruehre xdxdxd
fuehle xdxdxd

should not be saved in the log file. This is currently happening. It always saves the command output

I suspect that I need some kind of logic to check this and my skills are not sufficient for that.

Whatever the mud answers me. I will gladly describe it in English.

Player -> look floor
Mushclient Input Echo -> look flor
OutputMud ->The floor looks nice.

and if you haven't found something, the mud will tell you.

look wall
wall not found.

And I would like that when I get a result from mud like “look floor” that my command “look floor” is saved in the logfile.

But currently it also saves “look wall” and that's exactly what I don't want.

Well, the simple approach is to make a trigger that omits "not found" from the log file, like this:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="* nicht gefunden."
   omit_from_log="y"
   sequence="100"
  >
  </trigger>
</triggers>


Template:pasting For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.


That way, if you are logging, and something is not found, it just won't log that line.

You might conceivably also omit the prompt, as that would just clog up the log file.

I want to save my alias commands echo and not the output from the mud in the log file. Currently it saves every command/echo from my alias.

But if the alias finds an item that contains “not found.”... I don't want the alias command to be saved.

Your problem here is that you have already logged "look wall" before you find out that there is no wall there. So you have to rethink your approach.

For example, rather than have the client log your commands you could save them into a variable. Then when you get a response, other than "not found" then you manually log the command. See:

Template:function=WriteLog WriteLog

The documentation for the WriteLog script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

thanks again nick. but that's exactly where i get stuck. that's where i would have needed your help.

I just don't have a clue.

--------------

i ask chatgpt (thanks for this information @nick). what do you think about it?

<aliases>
<alias
match="^b ([A-z]+)$"
enabled="y"
group="Forschen"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
local message = GetLineInfo(1)
local vitem = "%1"
if not string.find(message, "%w+ nicht gefunden") then
commands = {
"untersuche "..vitem,
"lausche "..vitem,
"rieche "..vitem,
"beruehre "..vitem,
"fuehle "..vitem
}

for _, cmd in ipairs(commands) do
LogSend(cmd)
end

FlushLog()
else
Note("Text mit 'nicht gefunden' erkannt. Befehle werden nicht ausgeführt.")
end
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>


-------------

another approach would be this

<aliases>
<alias
match="^b ([A-z]+)$"
enabled="y"
group="Forschen"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
local vitem = "%1"
commands = {
"untersuche "..vitem,
"lausche "..vitem,
"rieche "..vitem,
"beruehre "..vitem,
"fuehle "..vitem
}

local all_commands = table.concat(commands, "\n")

if not string.find(all_commands, "nicht gefunden.") then

for _, cmd in ipairs(commands) do
LogSend(cmd)
end

FlushLog()
else
Note("A command with 'nicht gefunden.' detected.")
end
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

ChatGPT can get things right. In this case it has ignored what I suggested. To help you further I need to see exactly what you see when you run your alias. I am guessing you don't see "my prompt" or "Text from lausche".

From your earlier post:


Text from untersuche
202/202AP 213/213PE 113EP 12:44> my Prompt
Text from lausche
202/202AP 213/213PE 113EP 12:44> my Prompt
Text from rieche
202/202AP 213/213PE 113EP 12:44> my Prompt
Text from berühre
202/202AP 213/213PE 113EP 12:44> my Prompt
Text from fühle
202/202AP 213/213PE 113EP 12:44> my Prompt



Copy and paste the exact MUD output from a successful attempt and an unsuccessful one.

i use this alias atm:

<alias
match="^b ([A-z]+)$"
enabled="y"
group="Forschen"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>vitem = "%1"
LogSend("untersuche "..vitem)
LogSend("lausche "..vitem)
LogSend("rieche "..vitem)
LogSend("beruehre "..vitem)
LogSend("fuehle "..vitem)
FlushLog()</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
-----------

i'll take a screenshot for you. i think that will help you the most.

https://ibb.co/Ldm9J7K (imagehoster)

as you can see, i execute the alias twice. yellow = it has found an object. this is also saved with the current alias.

then i run the alias again. it doesn't find the object and outputs “Xdxdxd not found.” for the alias, of course, it looks as if something has been found, because i get an output from mud. i want the alias not to save this in the logfile (see right side). but it currently does.
