Hello again!

Ok. Here's my question. I have a trigger that looks much as this does:
trigger: ^(%w) gives you (*)
and my bot gives them a random thank you via:
value: #CASE %random{tell %1 Thank you for %2!} {tell %1 Wow! %2! Thanks!} ect.

Here is the issue however. There are certain emotes that trigger the giving command. Such as:
soandso gives you a big high five
or
soandso gives you a round of applause.

I thought, maybe I can set it up that the emotes are in a variable called @GiveEmotes and if the bot gets one of the above emotes, it will simply emote back, and if it is something else, it will thank them with one of the ten random thanks.

I'm not sure how to go about this though, or if it can be done. My idea is something like this:
pattern: ^(%w) gives you (*)
value: #IF (%ismember(%2,@GiveEmotes)) {emote to %1} {@Thanks}

Where @Thanks would be:
#VAR Thanks
value: %case(%random(10), "Thanks %1 for %2", "Thanks for the %2!")

I don't want to try it for fear that I might do something to my bot as it is running now after a bad bug, but does that look like it would work to do what I want?

That would work.

I'd just suggest you change the %case function to:
value: %case(%random(1,2), "Thanks %1 for %2", "Thanks for the %2!")

Where 2 is the number of options and 1 the minimum returned from the random fuction as %case(0,"1","2") returns nothing.

Edit: I'll have to fire up zMud. Figured it would expand. ^_^

Hmmm, it didn't work...

I tested it and got it to send me a correct response, but it sent:
"tell %1 Thanks for %2

So it's not recognizing and translating ^(%w) or (*). When I do try to save the variable, it turns the text half blue and gives me a syntax error. Last one was something along the lines of:
%2 !
... ^ Syntax Error

So I'm seeing the quotation marks when it gets something, and the %1 %2. Along with the Syntax errors in trying to save the @Thanks Variable.

Suggestions?

Skip the variable, just put your responses in the trigger.
#TRIGGER {^(%w) gives you (*)} {#IF (%ismember("%2", @GiveEmotes)) {emote to %1} {#CASE %random(1, 2) {tell %1 Thank you for %2!} {tell %1 Wow! %2! Thanks!}}}

That didn't fly either. I cut and pasted it in, changed the thanks to the ones I had, and it still gives the thanks regardless. Here's what I have:
trigger: ^(%w) gives you (*)
value: #IF (%ismember( "%2", @GiveEmotes)) {
chuckle %1
say Thanks!
} {#CASE (%random( 1, 2)) {{tell %1 %2! Thank you!} {tell %1 Your heart is in the right place and your gift of %2 proves it.}}

@GiveEmotes are set up as:
a BIG high five|a round of applause|a hug

The @GiveEmotes is outside of my trigger class. The odd thing is, if I take the ^ from the front of the trigger to test it myself, and I put in:
'tell wynd Wynd gives you a hug', since it sends that to the mud twice, once as stated above, the other as 'You tell Wynd 'Wynd gives you a hug' I get the following response:

You chuckle at yourself
You say 'Thanks'
(this is at the initial input)
AND

You tell Wynd 'a hug! Thanks!'
(this happens when it sees the second)

When I put the ^ back in front of the %w, it just gives the thanks. (And yes, I do have someone testing it, so it's not myself trying to.)

Any other thoughts?

i'm thinking, punctuation.
your %ismember might be misfiring because the real message ends in a "."
after your trigger goes off, %2 will be everything up till the end of the line.
You can see the difference in your test tell.
the first time it fired, on the command being sent to the mud, this is the pattern that was matched

Wynd gives you a hug

and that was matched correctly because "a hug" is a member of your list.
the second time it fired this is the pattern that matched

Wynd gives you a hug'

and it didn't recognize that as a social because "a hug'" isn't a member of your list.

try this:
#var GiveEmotes {a BIG high five.|a round of applause.|a hug.}

but with whatever punctuation those socials usually end in. of course i could be way off, but this seems likely to me

Or include the punctuation in the trigger pattern.
trigger: ^(%w) gives you (*).
value: #IF (%ismember( "%2", @GiveEmotes)) {
chuckle %1
say Thanks!
} {#CASE (%random( 1, 2)) {{tell %1 %2! Thank you!} {tell %1 Your heart is in the right place and your gift of %2 proves it.}}

You all are so awesome. I would hug you each in real life if I could!

*hug* *hug* *hug*

I don't know what I'd do if it weren't for you all...well...I guess I do. I would be rping and not botting! *chuckle*

Thanks! It's working like a charm with the punctuation included.
