Zugg Software :: View topic - HELP: Splitting variable and also double outputs

Novice Joined: 16 Aug 2003 Posts: 31 Location: USA

OK Now its doing wierd stuff... It will somtimes output the descript to my character twice. Another problem is the olc can't take so much room descript sometimes is there a way to enter the expanded variable StatRoomDesc line by line? It doesn't matter about spacing and whatnot the /fi will format the text the way we want it. Just as long as all the descript gets there.

anyways
here is sample room output of the mud

Room name: Hidden Wonders of Atlantis, Of zone : 115. V-Number : 32488, R-number : 32488

Room flags: DARK INDOORS SILENCE

Located deep beneath the ocean floor, this dark dungeon like room is
well hidden from prying eyes and treasure seekers. Eight alcoves lead off
of each of the walls of the room, the complete darkness hiding their
contents or occupants in shadow. Bare granite with no art or design forms
the floors, walls, and ceiling of the area.
Extra description keywords(s): None
Room extra action data: None

Here is a script of my class of triggers and alias

Its probably really messy. Help clean and get working right if you can

Change this one so that it captures the current line break structure...
#TRIGGER "StatRoomDescCapture" {^Room flags} {:WAIT:100;:quirk:2;:quirk:/c;:quirk:<@strath.StatRoomDesc>;:quirk:/s}
#COND {^Description:$} {#VAR StatRoomDesc "";#CO 30;#TEMP StatRoomDescCaptureEnd {Extra description keywords~(s~)~:} {#STATE StatRoomDescCapture 0}} {within|param=1}
#COND {^&%*{StatRoomDescLine}$} {#CO 31;#IF (!%begins( %expand( @StatRoomDescLine, 1), "Extra description keywords")) {#VAR StatRoomDesc %concat( @StatRoomDesc, " ", %expand( @StatRoomDescLine, 1))}}
to
#TRIGGER "StatRoomDescCapture" {^Room flags} {:WAIT:100;:quirk:2;:quirk:/c}
#COND {^Description:$} {#VAR StatRoomDesc "";#CO 30;#TEMP StatRoomDescCaptureEnd {Extra description keywords~(s~)~:} {#STATE StatRoomDescCapture 0;:quirk:DescOut;:quirk:/s}} {within|param=1}
#COND {^&%*{StatRoomDescLine}$} {#CO 31;#IF (!%begins( %expand( @StatRoomDescLine, 1), "Extra description keywords")) {#VAR StatRoomDesc %concat( @StatRoomDesc, %cr, %expand( @StatRoomDescLine, 1))}}
and add
:quirk:#ALIAS DescOut {#SEND {%expand(@strath.StatRoomDesc,1)}}

In the example room is what i am using. When it triggers now it only outputs this.
You are falling in mid air as you descend towards the water
Which is the first line and that is it. Does the /s
I looked at my Variables and here is what they are
for StatRoomDesc
There is a little quare before this one You are falling in mid air as you descend towards the water
for STATROOMDESCLINE
You are falling in mid air as you descend towards the water
I need it to pick up the whole description and then i need :quirk: to do /fi;/s after the description is in

Here is the current trigger and I added that alias also
#TRIGGER "StatRoomDescCapture" {^Room flags} {:WAIT:100;:quirk:2;:quirk:/c}
#COND {^Description:$} {#VAR StatRoomDesc "";#CO 30;#TEMP StatRoomDescCaptureEnd {Extra description keywords~(s~)~:} {#STATE StatRoomDescCapture 0;:quirk:DescOut;:quirk:/s}} {within|param=1}
#COND {^&%*{StatRoomDescLine}$} {#CO 31;#IF (!%begins( %expand( @StatRoomDescLine, 1), "Extra description keywords")) {#VAR StatRoomDesc %concat( @StatRoomDesc, %cr, %expand( @StatRoomDescLine, 1))}}

Thanks for helping.

Oops I didn't copy the options for the second condition. Guess I will add the other %expand that really should be there and switch it so the %cr is at the end of each line instead of beginning while I am at it.

#TRIGGER "StatRoomDescCapture" {^Room flags} {:WAIT:100;:quirk:2;:quirk:/c}
#COND {^Description:$} {#VAR StatRoomDesc "";#CO 30;#TEMP StatRoomDescCaptureEnd {Extra description keywords~(s~)~:} {#STATE StatRoomDescCapture 0;:quirk:DescOut;:quirk:/s}} {within|param=1}
#COND {^&%*{StatRoomDescLine}$} {#CO 31;#IF (!%begins( %expand( @StatRoomDescLine, 1), "Extra description keywords")) {#VAR StatRoomDesc %concat( %expand(@StatRoomDesc,1), %expand( @StatRoomDescLine, 1), %cr)}} {looppat|param=99}

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Works great
One last question.
With that current trigger running off of
^Room flags:

i have an alias rflag that i can use like rflag DARK INDOORS SILENCE
and it works fine... is there a way to incorperate that into that trigger but to happen after it finishes with the room description? I seem to be having timing problems with it. So basically I want it to pick up whats after ^Room flags: and run that through rflag. But only when it is done with the /s for saving descript.

Sure can, you can integrate the 2 triggers. The 0 state for you description capture starts at the same line, so combine the capturing activities there. State 1 creates a #TEMP trigger to detect completion of the description, that is where you put the execution of your rflag alias to control its timing. You will have to do the combining because I am too lazy to find the other thread and put it all together for you.
