Data Record Variables
|
Is there a way to search a specific data record variable for a specific name and number, and then be able to extract the it? I use data record variables to track how many times each person in my party does a critical hit. Here is the basis:
#TRIGGER {^(%w)'s attack breaks bones!$} {#add pcrit_bone.%1 1}
The variable makes a list like:
Tony: 1
Frank: 3
Dan: 2
There are many different types of critical messages, so I have something like 20 or 30 different records, each containing the names of party members and their critical counter. I would like to be able to make an alias to check each record for a specific name, and extract that name and his/her counter, to display in a list for that person specifically.
Ex-
Instead of 20 or 30 different records like
Tony: 1
Frank: 3
Dan: 2
I would like to make an alias to do this:
Name: Tony
Bone Breaker: 2
Spasm: 3
Bloody Mess: 1
Zap: 9
Any ideas on how I could do this?

Yep, there's a function called %iskey() that can help you as far as finding a particular field in a data record. If you find it, then all you need to do is reference that field.
#TRIGGER {^(%w)'s attack breaks bones!$} {#if (%iskey(%1,pcrit_bone) {#addkey pcrit_bone %1 %eval(%db(pcrit_bone,%1) + 1)} {#noop it's not part of the variable}}

Okay, that does give me a true/false for a specific record, but I'm trying to place this in an alias to essentially create a NEW record of ONLY that person's criticals and the number of each.
Ex-
#ALIAS {pcrit} {
#if (%iskey( @pcrit_bone, %1)) {#addkey {pcrit.%1} {Bone Breaker} {2}} {#noop}
#if (%iskey( @pcrit_spasm, %1)) {#addkey {pcrit.%1} {Spasm} {3}} {#noop}
#if (%iskey( @pcrit_bloodymess, %1)) {#addkey {pcrit.%1} {Bloody Mess} {1}} {#noop}
#if (%iskey( @pcrit_zap, %1)) {#addkey {pcrit.%1} {Zap} {9}} {#noop}
#say %1's Party Criticals
#showdb @pcrit.%1
}
Would ideally display:
Tony's Party Criticals
Bone Breaker 2
Spasm 3
Bloody Mess 1
Zap 9
Got the basic part down, but I still need to be able to extract the actual NUMBER of each counter, if its possible.
Anything I can try?

Did you look at the trigger I posted? The answer (a single function) is given therein.

Wow, I missed that completely in the trigger. I apologize for my ignorance, and thank you for your help. I set up the alias and it work perfectly, thank you very much.
