SOLVED: Should be easy, help with a simple trigger
|
So, I have an issue trying to make a trigger to sort on a bad, average, or good item that my character crafts. Here is the MUD output:
You finish sawing, leaving you with a crude short pine plank.
There are a LOT of possible variations on this line specific to the quality (crude), type (short), wood (pine) and end item (plank)
I can make a few triggers to capture each possible output or categories of outputs like one to capture all the bad quality items and add a simple 'trash item' action,
You finish sawing, leaving you with {a|an} {malformed|crude} {short|long|curved} {pine|oak|maple} plank.
and another one to capture all the good quality items,
You finish sawing, leaving you with {a|an} {exceptional|masterful} %1 {pine|oak|} plank.
but my issue is an average item won't even have crude/malformed/exceptional/masterful and will just be:
You finish sawing, leaving you with a short pine plank.
so how do I capture on that to find out if it is average?
I tried this:
You finish sawing, leaving you with {a|an} %1 {pine|oak|} plank.
but anything with a modifier also gets captured inside the %1.
Help? :/ |

Wouldn't you just want "You finish sawing, leaving you with {a|an} {pine|oak|} plank." if there's no word in between? You don't need a capture if you're not expecting anything there.
Alternatively, a better solution would probably be to just use a single trigger, capture the quality, type, wood and end item, then do whatever processing needs to be done based on the values in the capture (#if (%1 ="exceptional" or %1 = "masterful") {do something}, etc etc). |

| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {You finish sawing, leaving you with {a|an} ({malformed|crude|exceptional|masterful|})* plank.} {#IF (%1="") {#SHOW Average}} |
