Problem with #SUB
|
I have the following trigger, which, dependant on the race I choose when connecting, will color and change especific tracks from autotrack:
Pattern:
^There are * of a trolloc leaving (%w).$
Value:
#if (@race=1 OR @race=2) {
#COLOR red
#SUB {bloody} {*BLOODY*}
#SUB {west} {~<~<-WEST-~<~<}
#SUB {east} {~>~>-EAST-~>~>}
#SUB {north} {^^-NORTH-^^}
#SUB {south} {vv-SOUTH-vv}
}
It works very well, making the correct substitutions, BUT it also creates 5 new triggers, 1 for each #SUB, which in turn will mess everything from then on.
What are my options? Is it possible for the #SUB to NOT create the new triggers? Or can I just delete them automatically after this trigger end (sounds stupid)? Or is there another way to replace strings? |

You could try using #TEMP instead to create a trigger that will go away when it fires.
I'm not sure what happens if a #TEMP trigger never fires. I would assume that you need to setup parameters, like an alarm or within N lines... |

Not the way you're using it.
#SUB {pattern} {replacement text}
is the same as
#TR {pattern} {#SUB (replacement text}}
Or can I just delete them automatically after this trigger end (sounds stupid)?
Yes.
#UNTR {bloody}
Or is there another way to replace strings?
I'd just make those triggers permanent, but create a subclass to hold them. Then, I'd have the first trigger enable the class and another trigger (probably a #COND to the first trigger) to disable it when finished.

Kludge it all together?
Trigger
^There are (*) of a trolloc leaving (%w).$
Value:
#if (@race=1 OR @race=2) {
#COLOR red
#VAR TrackDistance %replace( {%1}, "bloody", "*BLOODY*")
#IF (%2 = west) {#SUB {There are @TrackDistance of a trolloc leaving ~<~<-WEST-~<~<}} {#IF (%2 = east) {#SUB {There are @TrackDistance of a trolloc leaving ~>~>-EAST-~>~>}} {#IF (%2 = north) {#SUB {There are @TrackDistance of a trolloc leaving ^^-NORTH-^^}} {#SUB {There are @TrackDistance of a trolloc leaving vv-SOUTH-vv}}}}}

Just as a side note...
Kludge rymes with Scrooge NOT Fudge.
Had a guy I worked with say it the other way once and almost peed my pants. |

Well, I'll be damned, according to the dictionary, it *is* pronounced klooj. Now that I think of it, I've never actually heard someone say the word before.
