Hello,

I've been trying to develop a way to 'log' a certain name but I've failed entirely at it.
What I'm trying to do basically is when a person gives me gold I save that name and the name only.
I've saved them on variables but those go away after the next person gives me gold, so that's no good, and I've tried to keep it logged using #log, but it's too spammy. Full of unnecessary information.

I was hoping there was a way of saving the name only out of this trigger:

(%W) gives you 1,000,000 gold coins.

#VARIABLE name %1
%1 say Thank you, your name has been saved.

How do I save @name into a separate window/memory?

Thank you in advance,

Threndil.

#TRIGGER {^(%w) gives you 1,000,000 gold coins.} {#FILE 1 goldgiver.txt;#WRITE 1 {%1};#CLOSE 1}

That'll create a file called "goldgiver" in your session folder. It'll write ONLY the name to the list. If you ever want to read it, you can do this:

#FILE 1 goldgiver.txt
#TYPE 1

There you go.

Alternatlively, if you want to just make a variable out of it, just do #ADDITEM name %1 instead of #VAR name %1.

Excellent! I hadn't seen #FILE.

That's exactly what I needed. Many thanks good person, this will work greatly.

on this can a tell recorder be bult the same way for the status window?

in status window I have
@tellwindow

then for the trigger i have
Example pattern: Snipe tells you 'ok test tell'.

pattern: %1 tells you %w
value: #ADDITEM tellwindow {(%1) %2}

will something like that work for tells? and the send em to status window for listing and view?

A couple of things, DaeMoan.

You're better off just capturing it and putting it into it's own window instead of a status window. Second, the pattern you put for your tells is not correct. You don't want to use %1 in your patterns. It was never intended to work, and is actually considered a bug that it /does/ work. It just was never fixed. Anyway, here's what you may want to consider:

#TRIGGER {^%w tells you '*'.$} {#CAP tells}

Simple trigger, and it sends all tells to your "tells" window. And I'm assuming that the period at the end of your example pattern is supposed to be there.

If you /really/ want it to go to your status window, then use the following:

#TRIGGER {^(%w) tells you (*)$} {#ADDITEM tellwindow {~(%1~) %2}}

Now, while untested, it /should/ work. :P
