First problem
Ok, i been trying to get someting right for a while now
and i havent had much success. Im trying to count a trigger, and
its been shown a certain ammount of time, i get a message displayed.

The output from the Mud is as follows:

Your blackened mask bursts into raging flames.

when that has been shown 25 times, i want a message to tell me that
the mask has hit its limit, and i need to remove it before
it explodes in my face.

so in effect, i cast the spell 25 times and then get a message displayed
on my status bar telling me its time to remove the mask or i get crispy.

Second problem:
I want a similar trigger set as above, but to do the math on a different
item. a golden ring. the ring can be used 5 times before its useless.
but if only used 4 separate times, it can recharge back to 5.

when used the message is:

Your Golden Ring glows momentarily.

when it re-charges the message is:

The Golden Ring feels warmer on your finger.

Use a charge - ring glows
recharge - ring feels warmer

if that makes sense.
what im looking for with this is a counter of sorts which displays
on the status bar, starting at 5.
when a charge is used, it subtracts one from the available charges.
when it recharges, it adds one to the available charges.

this should be able to be reset to 5 with use of a simple alias.

Thanks

For the first one use this:

#VAR maskcount {}
#TRIGGER {Your blackened mask bursts into raging flames} {#ADD maskcount 1;#IF (@maskcount>=25) {remove mask}}

For the second one you need this:
#VAR chargecount {5} {5}
#TR {Your Golden Ring glows momentarily.} {#ADD chargecount -1}
#TR {The Golden Ring feels warmer on your finger.} {#ADD chargecount 1}
#ST @chargecount

Also, if you want to change it back to 5 manually just type:
chargecount= 5

All of this is meant to be cut and paste line by line to the command line.

ok, thanks, the ring one works perfectly :)

the mask one on the otherhand.
a) MUD i play on doesnt allow action triggers
b) once it gets to 25, everytime i cast the spell, the trigger fires, and
i remove the mask.

easily solved though, added an alias for maskcount= 0, added a line to the
status bar and replaced the remove trigger with a message.

would prefer a simpler solution, but this one works fine

thanks
