| I'm trying to create a trigger that will SAY the solution to simple word problems.
The MUD says:
If 2 foxes got together with 74 foxes and 46 came later, how many foxes?
You say: 122
How might I approach this? As the title suggests I've been trying to use wildcards. | | Top |

| Take a stab at it and post your attempt.
I suggest you would use a small script, and add them together. Make sure you do tonumber () on them so you add the numbers together, not add two strings. |

| If you insist, Nick! I found a section on math in your FAQ, so this is basically a script you wrote. I haven't had a chance to test this yet...
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="If * cows jumped into Runaway River and * drowned, how many cows would be left?"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
x = tonumber (GetVariable ("x")) or 0
x = %1-%2 <---It could be %1*%2, or %1/%2, whatever you need.
SetVariable ("x", x)
say ", </send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
You had PRINT () where I simply have 'say ",', I assume that since I'm under <send> it will 'send' a say to the mud, but I don't know if it works that way. I supose I could have a second trigger that is enabled by this one. That will then SEND (say "variable") to the world.
Also, I'm guessing send_to="12" is like checking 'send to script' in Mush.
Appreciate your video/guide on scripting in Mushclient, and FAQ. Very helpful stuff. Any other LUA for the ignorant resources anyone is aware of? | | Top |

| It's a bit simpler than that. Assuming the question always has numbers in it, then this will do:
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="If * cows jumped into Runaway River and * drowned, how many cows would be left?"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
Send ("say " .. (%1 - %2))
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

| I keep getting a compile error.
[string "Trigger: "]:1: unexpected symbol near '<'
I've created the trigger in MUSH, hit send to script, and put
<send>
Send (%1 - %2)
</send>
in the Send box.
Either way, even if it worked, It wouldn't say the answer, right? Wouldn't I have to create a variable so I could then
<send>
say @varname
</send> | | Top |

No, and that wouldn't work anyway. @Variables are converted at the start of the script, not during it.
What I had works. |
