triggering off a database record?
|
I've been collecting a MILLION repop messages for the various area's in the game, and the slew of triggers is becoming quite difficult to work with. So I'm thinking that I could reduce it all into a single database variable, and trigger off of that. Right? Seems easy to me, however I can't quite get it right. The jist of what I'm thinking is below. Basically, triggering off of the %key and posting the area that it is in via the %val. Right? TIA! =]
| Code: |
<var name="repop_msg" type="Record" id="1414">This is an example of one repop message.=one|This is the last example of a repop message.=three|This is another example of a repop messsage.=two</var>
<trigger priority="14150" id="1415">
<pattern>^{%%database(@repop_msg)}$</pattern>
<value>#say ~[ Area: %val ~] has just repopulated!</value>
</trigger> |

I don't use CMud (yet!), but as much I've followed new commands and info related, shouldn't the pattern read
%%dbkeys(@repop_msg)
And then, to get the correct variable, you'd treat above as "%1" and do
%db(@repop_msg,"%1")
As I said, I'm not actively scripting in CMud by any means so I might be completely off course.

Ah... Was triggering wrong, thank you. =] However, the correct %val isn't being displayed. When I do a #say ~[ Area: %dbvalues(@repop_msg) ~] has just repopulated! it gives me ALL the values... Maybe a way to just sort out what is exactly being triggered? I'm still playing with it. Thanks again!

I don't think you actually need the %%dbkeys here. It used to be necessary in some older versions, but @repop_msg should work.
What you should do is put parentheses around the trigger pattern to capture the matching string.
To display the right value, do: @repop_msg.%1 |

Yes, you only need to use %%dbkeys() if your %key's will contain wildcards. Otherwise your pattern would be
| Code: |
#TR {^{@repop_msg}$} {#VAR area_name %db(@repop_msg, %trigger)}
