Coding help
|
I've been trying to figure this out for about an hour and a half now without any luck.
My alias is like this:
#if (@herb_bal=1 and @stupidity=1) {outc goldenseal;outc goldenseal;outc goldenseal;eat goldenseal;inc goldenseal;inc goldenseal;eat goldenseal;eat goldenseal;herb_bal=.5};#if (@herb_bal=1) {outc goldenseal;eat goldenseal;herb_bal=.5};#alarm {+1.75} {#if (@herb_bal==".5") {herb_bal=1}}
I'm having a problem when I encounter multiple affs because my Alarm keeps overriding my curing for the second affliction. I want to know, how do I get my alarm to reset each time I try to use the alias? For example:
I hit the alias, it sets herb_bal to .5.
I eat the herb, setting herb_bal to 0
I regain herb balance, setting herb_bal to 1
I hit another alias, setting herb_bal to .5 (and a new alarm)
While this alias is going through, my other alarm goes off. Setting herb_bal to 1.
I try to eat again because my system thinks it has herb balance. |

Well... is the alias the only way to reset the variable value?
Perhaps it should be changed via trigger instead, so the variable always has the right value and you can avoid this coding pileup. |

Is there any clue from the mud about what your herb_bal is in-game? If so, then Shalimar's suggestion of a trigger to reset the herb_bal is the best.
If there is no clue from the mud, and you have to do it by timing, then perhaps the best solution is to give your alarm a name id. Then you can place the #ALARM command at the beginning of the alias so that it will change the alarm time of the named alarm before it can accidentally go off in the middle of your alias. |
