#TAG not working for me
|
Hi, I'm trying to strip the weather out of the room name from Cthulhumud. My trigger is working but for some reason the #TAG command doesn't change the room name, it is using the actual varible name, %1, instead of the value of the varible when I map a new room...
A Sample Room:
| Code: |
Arkham - Intersection of S. Garrison St. & Church St. (city-cloudy-clear)
The intersection is one of the most heavily-traveled junctions in all of
Arkham. Garrison Street, as the largest and longest street in the city,
always has a steady flow of traffic upon it, and Church Street is the location
of the famous Miskatonic University, which stands several blocks to the west.
The combination of residents, visitors, and college students that pass through
the intersection creates a constant flurry of activity. Garrison Street leads
to the north and south, while Church Street extends to the east and west.
[Exits: north east south west] |
My Trigger:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {(*)~(%w~-%w~-%w~)} {#TAG name {%1}} |
I know the trigger is being called because it I add a #SHOW %1 it will print out Arkham - Intersection of S. Garrison St. & Church St. . I also tried re-configuring the mapper, and having it parse the name and not parse the name from the description but nothing seems to work. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks. |

I don't know of any reason that trigger wouldn't work. Since it isn't working I would suggest just bypassing the entire problem.
First remove your trigger.
Enter this alias at the command line
| Code: |
| #ALIAS onroomcreate {#CALL %roomname(,%copy(%roomname,1,%eval(%pos("(",%roomname)-1)))} |
Reconfigure the mapper.
Adjust the configuration by checking "Match Room Name at Start of Line" and unchecking "Match Room Name at End of Line"
It should work that way. What this does is strip the extra information right after the room is made, and should cause the mapper to use a trigger that is only anchored to the start of the line while following. If it has trouble following with that configuration you can use a trigger with #OK, but you should make sure it is not in map mode by checking the enabled state of the AutoMapper class with %trigger. |

It looks like you're trying to do a similar thing to an example in the help file which has
#TRIGGER {~[(*)~]} {#TAG name %1}
so I suggest removing the braces from around your %1 even though a later example does have them.
If you've tried Viji's code before now and didn't notice the typo then copy and paste it again as I've fixed it. |
