Ok, so ive been writing a healing script for Achaea, and basically i use triggers to add/subtract the different amount of herbs of each type i should eat. Basic enough, but, illusions can loop a system into adding tons and tons of herbs into one thing, and basically waste alot of my money, so I was wondering, if I were to have a mutlitstate trigger, is there was anyway to Reset the variable to 0 should it not recieve the second line.......I dunno if im making sense, so ill give a basic example. It works off the concept that if the system thinks there are multiple afflictions for the same herb, that if it tries to cure 1 of them, but doesnt actually recieve a cure, then i have no need to eat any more of said herb.

You can do this in a number of ways. One way is this:

#trig {You eat this herb} {}
#cond {(*)} {#if (%1 != "You heal this affliction") {do something}}

but this can swiftly get very complicated with many affliction cure messages. Probably the most robust way to do this would be to use entirely separate triggers for the eating line and the affliction cure line, since either can be illusioned (or both). The affliction cure line will check what affliction curing commands you have sent (eating herbs, focusing, etc) and what affliction curing lines you've recieved. The affliction only gets removed if the cure-line you've recieved matches one of the commands that was sent. If your script starts ignoring many afflictions because of this, it could prompt you.

What I do, just as another example, Fangs way is fine, is I have all the "You cure this affliction" messages in a folder called "Cures", easy enough. Then I have all of the "You eat this herb" lines in my system. Every time my system eats an herb, it puts a flag in a variable with the name of the herb, i.e.:

That's definitely a good way to do it. I personally like lots of control over my system and like to know exactly what it's doing - I have it tell me every time it's refused to acknoledge a cure because it thinks it'd detected an illusion. If I reckon it's coming up with some false positives for whatever reason, I'm then able to turn off the illusion protection if I choose. I guess it just depends how trusting you are of your system :P

I'm very surprised if that works as you've pasted it there, Tester. I was under the impression that dbvars didn't match in patterns, much less matching exactly the same way as string lists but with their keys instead of values.

Weird, I did a test last night and it didn't work. Yours definitely does work though - I guess that's my something new to learn today. Thanks! :)
