using alias to create a trigger
|
I'm trying to use an alias to create aliases and triggers for some spell macros. creating aliases works great, but I'm having some trouble with trigger creation. Here's the alias I'm trying to use
| Code: |
new_spell:
$spell = %-2
$abrv = %1
#alias $abrv {cast '$spell' %-1} {Sorcerer Spells}
#trigger {$spell} {#SUB {$spell} {$spell ($abrv)}} {Sorcerer Spells|Spell Alias}
|
If execute the above like this
new_spell bb bigbys clenched fist
it creates the correct alias
| Code: |
bb:
cast 'bigbys clenched fist' %-1
|
but it creates a trigger with the pattern= $spell
and the script as
| Code: |
#SUB bigbys clenched fist {bigbys clenched fist (bb)}
|
if I change the #trigger command slightly to
| Code: |
#trigger "" $spell {#SUB {$spell} {$spell ($abrv)}} {Sorcerer Spells|Spell Alias}
|
then it seems to fool it a little. It creates a trigger with the correct pattern, but now the #sub command does not expand the local variables, resulting in
| Code: |
#SUB $spell {$spell ($abrv)}
|
Of course, I need the result to be a combination of the two. Any suggestions? |

Looks like your #SUB syntax is wrong.
#SUB {replacement string} <-- use it this way when #SUB is inside a trigger, the #SUB will change the trigger pattern to the replacement string
#SUB pattern {replacement string} <-- use it this way from the command line or non-trigger setting. This is the same as #TRIGGER {pattern} {#SUB {replacement string}} |

Well, thanks for that syntax correction, but I still have the same problem. Instead of creating the command
#SUB {bigbys clenched fist (bb)}
I get
#SUB {$spell ($abrv)}
inside the trigger |

Of course, this has been answered in the past, and the answer is still the same. :) Makes it a lot easier, too.
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<cmud>
<alias name="new_spell" copy="yes">
<value>#EXEC %concat( "#ALIAS ", %1, " {cast '", %-2, "' %-1} {Sorcerer Spells}")
#EXEC %concat( "#TRIGGER {", %-2, "} {#SUB {", %-2, " (", %1, ")}} {Sorcerer Spells|Spell Alias}")</value>
</alias>
</cmud>
|
Copy/paste that into Package Editor. I cleaned it up quite a bit, too, since you don't need the $locals in there, really. Tested on my system, works great. :P
