Ok I'm switching from portal to Zmud and need help with a guage. Been attempting and reading through post but not having much luck yet.

Sample text " *~HP: 220/279 PP: 266/266 Chi: 86/143 G2:34362 Mind: 161 AE:4/49% CF:N T: De "

Pretty usual stuff if at all possible on the guage I was trying to put G2:34362 between "CF:N T:De" and "T:De" Only shows when I am in combat and has pe (perfect), br (bruised), bl (bleeding), em (emergency) and De (death). One more thing I was trying to do on the guage was make CF:N actually say ChiFocus:Normal ... N = Normal, S = Static, T = Thought . Hopefully I'm not asking too much lol I know someoone can do it and I will keep trying and maby get lucky.

Thanks

Ok... we've got a couple of things going on here.

First it looks like you want to define 3 gauges. HP, PP, and Chi.

I'm not sure I understand what G2 represents? Gold Maybe?

We can capture the T: De information and artificially make it a #GAUGE. I'll describe that more later.

It's actually probably best to have 2 triggers to capture your prompt. One for battle and the other normal.

Wow a lot closer then I was I greatly apreiciate it. And if it matters any G2: # is just gxp to next level. I'll work with it some and let yah know how it works.

Thanks again

Ok I need some help again. Seems I still dont have a good grasp of the guages yet I got all the previous one working. But now on a new one and doing this one myself just by example and its not working.

Sample text -
HP:528/560< 94%> SP:259/259<100%> C: 95.95% F: 0.00%
M:hands CH: 0% Dis:1/1<0> DF:CD Gxp: 39.11% ES:Death

Ok I think this is what I got.

#TR {HP:(%n)/(%d)<(%d)> SP:(%d)/(%d)<(%d)> C: (%d) F: (%d)} {
HP=%1
MxHP=%2
PHP=%3
SP=%4
MxSP=%5
PSP=%6
Con=%7
For=%8
}

#TR {M:(%w) CH: (%d) Dis:(%d)/(%d)<(%d)> DF:(%w) Gxp: (%d) ES: (%w)} {
Mod=%1
CH=%2
Dis=%3
MxDis=%4
SEnergy=%5
DF=%6
Gxp=%7
ES=%8
}

Ok thats what I have as a pattern and value setup and in Variables I have all the matching Vars but thier not picking up the values ie @HP shows blank and not 528 like it should. Not sure what I am doing wrong. If someone could help please. Get the Vars working and I should be able to setup the guages.

Thanks

Ok I am seeing my problem its the special characters <, >, %, . , etc... I'm playing around with different wild cards but not having much luck.

You have to quote out special chars in a trigger pattern with ~

~< will match <
~~ will match ~
~% will match %
~? will match ?

#TR {HP:(%n)/(%d)<(%d)> SP:(%d)/(%d)<(%d)> C: (%d) F: (%d)}

should I think be this:

#TR {HP:(%d)/(%d)~<( %d)~%~> SP:(%d)/(%d)<(%d~%)> C: (%d)~% F: (%d)~%}

Note the use of "~" to escape special characters.

I also forget if zmud captures floating point values correctly with %d. I typically use regex expressions, so to capture:
50.95%

you would use (\d)+.(\d)+\%

and then set your variable like so:
myVar = %1+(%2/100.0)

=============

An unrelated tip for playing on 3-Kingdoms: Make a prompt trigger
#tr {~>} {#echoprompt %cr}

(be sure to turn on the 'Trigger on Prompt' option for the above)

This will force new lines that come from the mud to _always_ start on the next line, so any triggers you create can use '^' anchors correctly. I have no clue why 3k works this way and I had all sorts of elaborate triggers to parse out the prompt, until I realized the above works.

Alright sweet I got it fixed thanks for the help everyone. One last question.

Can I force this to be hidden from the screen but still receive the data from it?

HP:528/560< 94%> SP:259/259<100%> C: 95.95% F: 0.00%
M:hands CH: 0% Dis:1/1<0> DF:CD Gxp: 39.11% ES:Death

I can color it black but I end up with 2 blank spaces on the screen.

Just add the #gag command to the trigger.

I almost got it all figured out and so far kicking arse. Got all kinds of stuff setup now with everyones help. Still having a little trouble with my guages for my hpbar though. I was able to edit the bar to show differently to take out some of those special characters hopefully making it easier. Alright new bar.

Sample:

HP:487/560 HP2: 86% SP:259/259 SP2:100% Con: 94.17% For: 0.00%
M:hands CH: 0% Dis:1/1 Dis2:0 Def:CD Gxp: 86.26% ES:Death

Almost everything I got setup right but I am still not able to get my variables for " HP2: 86% , SP2:100%, Con: 94.17% For: 0.00%, CH: 0% and Gxp: 86.26%" to return correct values.

Example HP2: 86% would work anytime my hpbar would pop up but never return the value of 100% always 97,08,or 99 or sometimes a lower value even when it's 100%. And I have tried quite a few different ways searching through help and the fourms to correctly capture "100.00% , 94.17% etc.. anything 000.00%"

This should be the last thing I need and I will be able to stop buggin you all with this :) hehe been a great help though I appreiciate it a lot.

Thanks
