I was wondering if it was possible for zmud to determine which items in my inventory had no entry in the database and then cast id on those and enter them. I see the logic of it but cant figure out how to do it.

Any help would be nice!

Thanks

If you'd give some mud output for looking at your inventory, as well as id-ing something, that'd be good. Also, if you have any existing scripts to add things to the database, that'd be nice to see. Essentially, more info needed :)

Ok, this *should* work, from what I've tested, if your mud works like most muds do as far as item targetting. You'll need to change the "idnext" alias to reflect the syntax your mud has, I assumed "cast 'identify' itemname" as the syntax for now. This script does not take into account running out of mana, etc, so if that's a problem there might need to be some changes. Anyway, normal command line input for below:

You can replace the use of %find with %query. Check the help page for syntax.

i know this doesnt have much to do with this post but um..
how do you set up a DB in the first place?

Oooh, thanks vigilante, that works great. Revised script below:

It seems to work but still ID's things I have in my db. Are you checking to see if it is there before adding it to the db or id'ing it?

Adept Joined: 30 Dec 2003 Posts: 226

*sigh* It was working with the testing I did... Yes, it does check to see if the item is already in your database, that's what the #LOOPDB @invitems {#IF %null( %query(&Name=%key, All)) {#ADDITEM iditems {%key}}} does. It loops through all the items in your inventory, checks with the %query to see if they're in your db, and if they're not (%null) it will add them to the list of items to be ID'd. There is probably some matter of syntax that is causing the problem, like perhaps your db name does not include words like "a" at the beginning ("a potion of visegrip" being "potion of visegrip"). Other than that, I can't think of anything that would cause a problem like that.

Aarlot's script is looking for a field of "Name" in your database. You have no such field; you are storing the 'keywords' for the item in a field of "DBName". Since you never store the 'short description', which is displayed in your inventory list, of the items you will have to have much more complex code to try to match the name. Usually the keywords are present in the short description, but not always. In short your database needs another field to do this properly. You can provide additional checks to detect items that were identified prior to adding this field and update them properly using #DBGET, #ADDKEY with %rec, and #DBSAVE.

Vigilante, he does save the short description. From his db script:

#TRIGGER {Edwin, Jack of all Trades says 'It is (*).'} {#t+ ident;#VAR ident %null;#ADDKEY ident Name {%1}}

And as far as I could see from his example, this is the same name as the one that shows up in the inventory.

I'm not saying it didnt work for you and I appreciate the effort. It works nicely except I blow some mana and have to hit NO to the popbox....no biggie...thanks for the script!
