Trigger selection question
|
Alright, I want to make a suggested afflictions list. It first examines what the target has, than I need it to be able to pick one affliction, then pick another without it being the same as the first affliction.
Easy Example:
A B C D E F is the desired affliction list
Target has a and c.
Trigger picks b as affliction one and d as affliction two out of the same affliction list.
Problem 2:
Once it finds out A is not afflicted(for affliction 1), I want it to pick A and not continue going on to F. I want to streamline it so it stops there instead of going through all the other possibilities.
Once it finds out D is not afflicted(for affliction 2), I want it to pick D and not continue going on to F. I want to streamline it so it stops there instead of going through all the other possibilities.
If more info is needed, I will give whatever you need. |

Give some example text of what you're working with and what you want it to do exactly.

| Code: |
#IF (!%ismember( belonephobia, @afflictionlist)) {afflict1 = belonephobia} {#IF (!%ismember( indifference, @afflictionlist)) {afflict1 = indifference} {#IF (!%ismember( stupidity, @afflictionlist)) {afflict1 = stupidity}}}
#IF (!%ismember( belonephobia, @afflictionlist)) {#if (belonephobia != @afflict1) {afflict2 = belonephobia} {#IF (!%ismember( indifference, @afflictionlist)) {#if (indifference != @afflict1) {afflict2 = indifference} {#IF (!%ismember( stupidity, @afflictionlist)) {#if (stupidity != @afflict1) {afflict2 = stupidity} {}}}}}}

I am thinking something like that.. But once it makes a selection, I want it to stop instead of continuing through the list. I also want to try to find a way to stream line it. |

Try This Here:
Make a var afflictpos with all possible affliction in it.
| Code: |
#CLASS Afflictions
#ALIAS doafflict {
#VAR loopcnt {1}
#WHILE !(@afflict1) {
#IF (!%ismember( %item(@afflictpos,@loopcnt), @afflictionlist)) {afflict1 = %item(@afflictpos,@loopcnt)}
#ADD loopcnt 1
}
#VAR loopcnt {1}
#WHILE (!(@afflict2) AND @loopcnt < (%numitems(@afflictionlist) + 1)) {
#IF ((!%ismember( %item(@afflictpos,@loopcnt), @afflictionlist)) AND (%item(@afflictpos,@loopcnt) != @afflict1)) {afflict1 = %item(@afflictpos,@loopcnt)}
#ADD loopcnt 1
}
Do Whatever With Your Chosen Afflictions Here
}
#VAR loopcnt {}
#CLASS 0 |
Or your other option is to use a reversed #LOOP, to parse your list BACKWARDS. This still iterates thorough the whole list, but always takes the higher precedence affliction.
| Code: |
| #LOOP %numitems(@afflictionlist),1 {#IF (!%ismember( %item(@afflictpos,%i), @afflictionlist)) {afflict1 = %item(@afflictpos,%i)} |
However, I think my first code block is the more intuitive way to do it, because it only loops as far as needed.
Hmm, here is a 3rd way that just came to me:
| Code: |
#LOOP %numitems(@afflictionlist) {#IF (!%ismember( %item(@afflictpos,%i), @afflictionlist)) {#additem notafflicted %item(@afflictpos, %i)}
afflicted1 = %pop(notafflicted)
afflicted2 = %pop(notafflicted) |
Use whichever method works best for you. |

The first example seems to be the best for what I want, but the afflict 2 is buggy. It returns 0 everytime.
I've looked it over, but honestly, I don't understand the code. |

Another problem is. once its set afflict1, even if afflict1 is in afflictionlist it still stays there, but
if you reset the variable, it will then update it. |

It was only code meant to be example to work from, not a fully functional setup.
To make the variable change, you'll need other triggers when you afflict someone, or check what afflictions they have.
Then change the afflictionlist var with the new afflictions they have. I've also added a variable clearing into this code so it FORCES a recheck each time.
The problem with the afflict2 loop is that its setting afflict1 again :p I was tired and forgot to change a couple things when I copied and pasted. Here is the proper code.
| Code: |
#CLASS Afflictions
#ALIAS doafflict {
#VAR loopcnt {1}
#VAR afflict1 {}
#VAR afflict2 {}
#WHILE !(@afflict1) {
#IF (!%ismember( %item(@afflictpos,@loopcnt), @afflictionlist)) {afflict1 = %item(@afflictpos,@loopcnt)}
#ADD loopcnt 1
}
#VAR loopcnt {1}
#WHILE (!(@afflict2) AND @loopcnt < (%numitems(@afflictionlist) + 1)) {
#IF ((!%ismember( %item(@afflictpos,@loopcnt), @afflictionlist)) AND (%item(@afflictpos,@loopcnt) != @afflict1)) {afflict2 = %item(@afflictpos,@loopcnt)}
#ADD loopcnt 1
}
Do Whatever With Your Chosen Afflictions Here
}
#VAR loopcnt {}
#CLASS 0 |

I had already fixed the second line setting afflict1 again, but it's still having the same problem.. No matter what
afflict2 returns nothing.. Something in that code just isn't working, but I don't understand it enough to edit it. |
