I don't play Lusternia and it goes beyond the scope of what I can offer here to sit down and write a healing system from scratch for every user of MUSHclient.

I can show you the general idea, as I have done here, and if you have a specific query about why something isn't working you are welcome to post it, and I am sure someone will try to help.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but just omitting it from the output would not keep it from setting off the trigger.

Just FYI, the Achaea healing system is almost exactly the same as the Lusternia one. The way I'm doing it is that I followed Nick's instructions exactly except that instead of setting up just one table and cure alias, I set up 4: One for eating, applying, smoking, and drinking. I'm pretty sure it will work, but I havn't actually put anything to use yet, as I am really busy from other stuff right now.

I wasn't asking for you to do it, i meant because there are more then one way to heal an affliction drinking eatting applying and smoking, each having its own blance, how might I set that up using the tables and such?

ok well I want to take what we've learned from this and use it to make a script to automaticly bind spirits. some of the spirits are like snake horse and monkey. once you bind you have to wait for blance to bind again... but I cant seem to figure it out...

For this you just need to create a trigger that responds to the balance regain and fire off then turns itself off. That's what I did for something similar. I have it turn itself off so it doesn't keep firing.

in total i want to make an alias Def start a chain of defensing using the table i thought it would be the easiest way, since it uses two different blances and several different things like spiritbonding... gripping and breathing deep and stuff like that... so what I want is an alias to trigger a chain matching on when i have the blance to do another def, then have another alias tell me all defenses I have up (the game has one but it takes balance to check it... this way I can save me some time and balance...) and then be able to add more defenses if I need them...

I thought I would need to use two tables... one of all the defense and one with none of them in it, and then find a way to compare the two tables and move the next one(do the command for the def) so it will be in the second table.

This isn't really a question so it is hard to respond.

What you have said is all pretty general. If you posted some sample output from the MUD, and your aliases/triggers and associated scripts, and said what was happening, and what you expected to happen, that might be a question someone could answer.

Quote:

... find a way to compare the two tables ...


Give us a concrete example, to demonstrate you have tried to solve the problem, what you have tried, and in what way it doesn't work.

When you say "compare the two tables" do you mean:


  • What is in one table but not the other?

  • What is in both tables?

  • Are they the same?

  • Are we comparing keys or values?

Well I've been thinking about it... and it would seem I'd need to use several different tables with each different thing so to say. I've got spiritbonding I want to put into a table

spiritbond sun - this beging the command

You call upon the spirit of sun and a warm ray of sunlight infuses you with confidence. - this being the output using the command gives

You have recovered equilibrium. - this would be the balance message.

Then I have things like this:

spiritbond night- command once more

It must be night to bond with mother night. - output

Meaning the defense isn't used then. And what I want to do is set up a table of defenses and compare it to another to check to see if I have the defense up or not, and if not to do it. But however then i'd need a herb table potion table, and a few more for the other different types of defenses I could use. And for those... they may not even use the same balance... Then I was thinking and though of coming up with an alias for different deffing up types, like default, arena, war, spirit, herb, salve, and such... Ya its alot to do... specially since I've not learned much about Lua... I haven't tried any scripts or aliases yet... expect the first one you gave to get it more to lusternia curing which I think I can do for the most part... but the rest of my ideas are a little out there... and was wondering if some of it was even possible?

What? At all? Or to solve this problem?

Before you try something complex like a healing system you want to get the general hang of scripting. Start with something simpler, like counting how many times you see a particular mob, or make a table of the different things you fight. Although you may not particularly need such a thing, the practice you get in writing it will show you the general techniques for tackling something harder.

Basically anything is possible in a script, some things are more work than others, that is all.

Again I suggest to start with a simple script, and work up from that. If you haven't done much scripting, a complex healing/balance script will seem hard, until you learn the basics.

I have a quick question then, what is this doing

for _, v in ipairs (cures) do
if afflicted_by [v.name] then
if v.cure ~= "" then -- some afflictions might not have cures
Send ("outb ", v.cure) -- get out of bag
Send ("eat ", v.cure) -- eat it
ColourNote ("black", "yellow", "Curing " .. v.name ..
" with " .. v.cure)
eating = true
return -- done
end -- of having a cure for it
end -- found one
end -- for

I understand what its doing from the sends and down but the if checks and the for I dont
