Coloring prompts
|
Here is my situation.. I'd like to create a set of variables and triggers that would color my HP prompt to certain colors if it's a certain percentage of my total health.. for example:
Health from 150 to 200 would be blue.
Health from 100 to 150 would be green.
Health from 50 to 100 would be yellow.
Health from 0 to 50 would be red.
Reading the other topics regarding HP guages I assume I need to make a variable with my maxhp and then a trigger on my prompt.. but I don't know exactly what needs be done.. Thanks in advance.

Something like this:
#TRIGGER {(%d)/%dHp} {#IF (@Hp > 150) {#PCOL blue %x1} {#IF (@Hp > 100) {#PCOL green %x1} {#IF (@Hp > 50) {#PCOL yellow %x1} {#PCOL red %x1}}}}
Change the trigger to reflect your prompt. I'm assuming that if you are using 200 that it does not reflect percentage of Hp but absolute Hp.

Thanks for the speedy reply..
but;
It appears I've left out a bit of important information.. I've defined variables with
#VAR maxhp {200}
and
#VAR maxep {200}
My prompt comes up as
*~HP:200 EP:200~*
The trigger that you supplied did not color my prompt accordingly.. also, I'd like the coloring of the HP and EP values to be independent of each other, while coloring only the numerical values and not the HP: and EP: prefixes. |

#TRIGGER {^~*~~HP~:(%d) EP~:(%d)~~~*} {#VAR Hp %1;#VAR Ep %2;#IF (@Hp > 150) {#PCOL blue %x1} {#IF (@Hp > 100) {#PCOL green %x1} {#IF (@Hp > 50) {#PCOL yellow %x1} {#PCOL red %x1}}};#IF (@Ep > 150) {#PCOL blue %x2} {#IF (@Ep > 100) {#PCOL green %x2} {#IF (@Ep > 50) {#PCOL yellow %x2} {#PCOL red %x2}}}} "" {prompt}
Edited: made it a prompt trigger

This doesn't appear to be working.. the pattern isn't matching. Is there a way to fire the trigger solely on the HP:XXX EP:XXX ? Or should I change my prompt to something that would give zmud less trouble, such as (HP:200 EP:200)?

*~HP:200 EP:200~*
Sounds like your reported pattern is false? I test it with #SH and have no issue.
Cut and paste your prompt into that trigger. Replace the numbers with (%d) and put a ~ in front of all the weird characters.

Well this is getting frustrating.. it seems so easy, yet it's still not working.
The pattern is matching, but now it appears that it's not saving the values of Hp and Ep to the variables, or the trigger isn't querying the values when it goes to set the color of the prompt.. any ideas?
Pattern: ~~~* HP:(%d) EP:(%d) ~*~~
#VAR HP %1
#VAR EP %2
#IF (@HP > 45) {#PCOL blue %x1} {#IF (@HP > 30) {#PCOL 10 %x1} {#IF (@HP > 15) {#PCOL 14 %x1} {#PCOL 12 %x1}}}
#IF (@EP > 45) {#PCOL blue %x2} {#IF (@EP > 30) {#PCOL 10 %x2} {#IF (@EP > 15) {#PCOL 14 %x2} {#PCOL 12 %x2}}} {PROMPT}
Do you see any errors on my part?
#SH is not returning colors, either. |

Well, This is a kinda nit-picky answer, but it may well be your problem... ;)
Mud prompt: *~HP:200 EP:200~*
Your trigger: ~* HP:200 EP:200 *~ |

I made a mistake in relaying my prompt in the first few posts.. my triggers and prompt are in sync, but the problem seems to be in the trigger getting the values from the variables, or perhaps sending the values to the variables, thus not allowing the coloring to take effect, as the variables are =0?

Are you completely sure that the trigger is firing? Try putting a #SH with some message inside the trigger's commands to see if it gets executed.
If your prompt is:
*~HP:200 EP:200~*
then the pattern should be:
~*~~HP:(%d) EP:(%d)~~~*

Pattern: ~~~* HP:(%d) EP:(%d) ~*~~
#VAR HP %1
#VAR EP %2
#IF (@HP > 45) {#PCOL blue %x1} {#IF (@HP > 30) {#PCOL 10 %x1} {#IF (@HP > 15) {#PCOL 14 %x1} {#PCOL 12 %x1}}}
#IF (@EP > 45) {#PCOL blue %x2} {#IF (@EP > 30) {#PCOL 10 %x2} {#IF (@EP > 15) {#PCOL 14 %x2} {#PCOL 12 %x2}}} {PROMPT}
Delete the part in red. It's not supposed to be part of the trigger Value. Switch to the Options tab. Check the box next to Prompt. You should probably also uncheck the box next to Newline.

Here is the trigger script:
#VAR HP %1
#VAR EP %2
#SH TRIGGER!!
#IF (@HP > 45) {#PCOL 11 %x1}
#IF (@HP > 30) {#PCOL 10 %x1}
#IF (@HP > 15) {#PCOL 14 %x1}
#IF (@HP < 16) {#PCOL 12 %x1}
#IF (@EP > 45) {#PCOL 11 %x2}
#IF (@EP > 30) {#PCOL 10 %x2}
#IF (@EP > 15) {#PCOL 14 %x2}
#IF (@EP < 16) {#PCOL 12 %x2}
Pasting my prompt into the test field it shows that it matches, but the #SH doesn't show in my output window, and still the colors aren't working.. ideas?
Edit:
Pattern matches! Matching portion is highlighted above.
%1: 44
%2: 50 |
