Upgrading scripts, returning to mudding
|
In zmud I had a trigger based on text like this:
Your blast of frost === OBLITERATES === the raggedy dervish's head! [79]
"blast of frost" is variable
"=== obliterates ===" is variable
the victim is variable, and [79] is variable (only [] would be constant)
cmud doesn't seem to like triggers using (%*)...so whats the correct format now? :)
I tried the compatibility wizard but the thing crashes so I have to bruteforce my way through each trigger.. |

The original trigger is simple:
Your (%*) {@damages} (%*)'s {@bodyparts}(*) |

There really isn't a reason to ever use %* in your trigger pattern. In fact, it can lead to some bad side effects. Change to just * instead.

We'd be comparing apples to oranges when talking about compatibility and good practises between zmud and cmud.
Thanks though, I'll try that out. :) |

what is in the variables damages and bodyparts? I'm thinking that it might be a bit too much information. what exactly are you trying to do with that trigger btw?

Part of the problem is probably that the special characters (stars) in the damage types aren't escaped.

Actually, there's a bug in that if you mark it as a string list, it still thinks the ='s are referring to database variables. I mentioned something about it a while back. Don't know if it's been fixed yet, but from the looks of it, it hasn't.

I don't think that's a bug, Charneus. The equal signs are special charactes, just like the asterisks. Both need to be escaped.

I removed all the special characters (*,=,>) and tried to come up with some proper matching in the trigger. So far no luck.
Anyone have a decent option to try as a trigger?
A round of combat:
| Code: |
Your blast of frost injures Arnold Schwarzenegger's midriff. [16]
Your slice MUTILATES Arnold Schwarzenegger's head! [39]
The battle falcon's peck injures Arnold Schwarzenegger's left shin.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has a few scratches. (91%)

To this, I reply with:

| I think it's the code in the Trigger routine (the one that converts a zMUD trigger into the proper regex and expands the variables) that is causing this. The "=" is causing CMUD to think that you are expanding a database variable instead of a string list. Can someone post a simplified example or test script that will illustrate the bug quickly. This would really help when I get back to bug fixing towards the end of the month. |
Taken from here.
Zugg stated it was a bug, so yes, it is a bug. :P

I was just getting ready to say that Arde. This looks almost exactly like Chamenas' trigger.
