Zugg Software :: View topic - Quick (hopefully) question about #oninput

Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2008 11:19 pm

#ONINPUT {^antimagic shell} {#IF (%ismember( Mage, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 114-(@tier*10))) {castspell antimagic shell}}

#ONINPUT {^test} {#IF (%ismember( Mage, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 114-(@tier*10))) {castspell antimagic shell}}

As part of a spellup script I have this and it works perfectly:

#ONINPUT {^antimagic shell} {#IF (%ismember( Mage, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 114-(@tier*10))) {cast '167'} {#GAG}}

But you can't cast that spell along with another spell (which also works perfectly):

#ONINPUT {^globe of invulnerability} {#IF ((%ismember( Mage, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 177-(@tier*10))) OR (%ismember( Psionicist, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 126-(@tier*10)))) {cast '174'} {#GAG}}

When you cast a spell it's removed from the spellup list with a trigger/alias

#TRIGGER {^You conjure forth an anti-magic shell about you.} {castspell antimagic shell}
#ALIAS castspell {#IF (%ismember( %-1, @spellup_yeslist)) {#IF (%ismember( %-1, @spellup_templist)) {spellup_templist=%delitem( %-1, @spellup_templist)}}}

So i decided that logically (and since I prefer globe over shell):

#ONINPUT {^antimagic shell} {#IF ((%ismember( Mage, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 177-(@tier*10))) OR (%ismember( Psionicist, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 126-(@tier*10)))) {castspell antimagic shell} {#IF (%ismember( Mage, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 114-(@tier*10))) {cast '167'} {#GAG}}}

But it sends some command to the mud and I have NO idea what that command even is. But I have a feeling that it's sending the command castspell antimagic shell straight to the mud.
I tried this as a test:

#ONINPUT {^antimagic shell} {#IF (%ismember( Mage, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 114-(@tier*10))) {castspell antimagic shell}}

And it always throws an error from the mud.

Is there something about #oninput that don't allow alias's to fire?
I'd rather keep the commands as they are because #oninput displays cleanly for me, and am willing to toss Anti even tho i get it 12 lvls sooner.
Of course there's OTHER spells/skills that I'd rather not toss and want to use.
Yes, I know I can maintain the var list that it loads up the spells and delete anti, and add it in when I remort, but i want as little to do with remembering to add/remove spells as I can :-)

That SHOULD Work. I triple checked for missing brackets or flawed logic, and found none.

NOTE: Thats on your smaller testing version. Can you turn on the echoing and see whats being sent?

Also you could try #EXEC castspell....
That should FORCE it to work.

I've turned on all the echoing i can find in the Prefs and NOTHING gets echoed for some reason. Just the error msg by the mud.
I thought of the #exec and tried it and it still didn't work :(

Thing is,
#ONINPUT {^antimagic shell} {#IF (%ismember( Mage, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 114-(@tier*10))) {cast '167'} {#GAG}}
and
#ONINPUT {^antimagic shell} {#IF (%ismember( Mage, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 114-(@tier*10))) {castspell antimagic shell}}

don't have any more or less brackets and it all flows the same. So there's nothing that should be stopping it from working.
And yes, i also tried the non-working one with and without the #GAG

Follow up. The builder of Aard was kind enuf to snoop me to see what might be being sent.
Winds up that the "castspell" part is totally being ignored as if it wasn't even there.

15 Aug 19:38 - Lasher tells you '[15 Aug 19:33:30] DaemonChilde tried 'antimagic shell''

I was running this script
#ONINPUT {^antimagic shell} {#IF ((%ismember( Mage, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 177-(@tier*10))) OR (%ismember( Psionicist, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 126-(@tier*10)))) {castspell antimagic shell} {#IF (%ismember( Mage, @current_classes) AND @current_level >= %eval( 114-(@tier*10))) {cast '167'} {#GAG}}}

I tried:
#noop castspell antimagic shell
#send castspell antimagic shell
#exec castspell antimagic shell

thinking that MAYBE it's just ignoring the 1st part and will work with the rest i tried
#noop {};castspell antimagic shell
#send {};castspell antimagic shell
#exec {};castspell antimagic shell

and still nothing.

BUT, even tho it's NOT at all what I want, I've decided to go with a normal alias for these "special spells"
Reason I liked #oninput was because there IS no display to the screen when it's being input.
With the Alias i have to do {#GAG;cast '167'} and that makes my screen do a little jump and i can't stand that.

If ANY one can come up with the solution as to the #oninput problem, PLEASE let me know!

[Ignore me] Me ralgith's post seems much more helpful and I am very late in responding.

Weird, since I tested it more than once snooping myself on my own mud :)

Something else has to be affecting it. So now I'm lost. If you want you can email me your settings file for this character (with password info removed) and I will import it and test directly on your MUD if you'd like.

Well, you'd have to get to lvl 177 as a Mage to test it :-)
Figured out that if i'm in note mode i will get the output of the spells
With your Script:

cast '118'
cast '119'
antimagic shell
cast '422'
cast '164'

Posted: Thu Aug 21, 2008 6:31 am

I've tried this myself and it works as ralgith described. Have you tried disabling your other triggers when you test this?

Posted: Thu Aug 21, 2008 9:35 pm

Yeap. Disabled all the other stuff and still sends JUST antimagic shell
Since my last post, I've remorted and won't be at the correct lvl for quite a while to further test.

EDIT:
DUH, of course i COULD just edit the current_lvl var.
Will check it again

Well, that didn't work. I had turned off all my #oninputs and all it did was send the command (which i expected):

flesh armor
frenzy
giant strength
antimagic shell
godly embrace
harden body
holy aura
indestructible aura
inertial barrier

With the #oninputs activated again:

cast '119'
cast '49'
cast '51'
antimagic shell
cast '425'
cast '422'
cast '164'
cast '91'
cast '121'

And I am using Ralgith's code:

Could this just be a case that the trigger has [] trigger on trigger disabled or some other weird checked/unchecked setting?

Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2008 11:22 pm

I took the working #oninput for antimagic shell and made a copy of it, and the only change i made was the body of the trigger.
Effectively it's an exact copy of the old one in the settings.

Well, The offer is still open to test this live with your settings files if you'd like. Though it may be some time. My computers got fried in an electric storm (my entire beowulf cluster!!!) and I'm getting the insurance to buy new ones. I'll check in once I get that far.

Ok, on my new laptop Vitae, if you'd like to relook at this I can install zMUD at any time.

Curious on this, could you have had an alias named 'castspell' that was sending %-1. Could be something to look in to, possibly it got added by accident.

@ Ralgith - Sent

@ Rappy - I thought of that too, and there's only one alias named castspell, and that's the one that is supposed to be there.

Ok, I'm installing zMUD on the new laptop tonight, and I'll get back to you in a few days.

Mmmm, not seeing any files in either email... all I got from ya is a PM here on the site ;)

Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2008 11:21 am

I sent it to ralgith@dubrin.net

Maybe you should check your spam folder :-)
Subject was "My spellup script"
I'll resend just in case

Ok everyone, here's what I found to be the problem, and how I solved it.
