First of all, I've finished my first ever lua-type script/trigger/plugin for MUSHclient! (I'm so happy, heh)

It does what I want, but I'd like to polish it up in a certain way.

It's a stat reroller for a smaug mud. It functions perfectly. However, I also have it spamming out ColourNotes whenever a stat is rolled at or above the desired amount, and each of these stat ColourNotes appear on a new line.

Is there a way to create some sort of variable, and append each ColourNote to that variable, so that I can put all the output on ONE line, vice seven?

I've saved it as a plugin (including the 7 stat variables). I didn't think about it before making it a plugin--but by adding the variables, I take away all GUI-based editing for those variables. That's just a minor annoyance.

Here it is. Any pointers would be gladly appreciated, as I'm not much of a programmer!

<![CDATA[
This plugin rerolls stats for SMAUG 1.8 muds. It outputs the seven stats in their own colors as it rolls, so that the user can clearly see which stats are above the desired levels. This allows the user to get a general idea of any requested stat levels which may be too high.

Set the seven stat variables by editing the plugin, and changing the numbers in the variables at the bottom of the text file.

Use ColourTell to output a note not terminated by a newline, and then another one to add more stuff, and so on, finally ending up with ColourNote (or just Note) to finish the line off.

http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?function=ColourTell

eg.

ColourTell / ColourTell / ColourTell / ColourTell / ColourNote

Also, in Lua you can concatenate strings, like this:


v = "Hello "
v = v .. "there "
v = v .. "everyone"
print (v)  --> Hello there everyone
