Creating a trigger from another and using a variable
|
Okay I have this menu that I want to be able to create a trigger from the selected text, but I can't get it to work.
Here is an example of the text.
A blue-eyed brown-haired man.
Here is my code:
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<cmud>
<module name="Character Short Description" global="true">
<uid>{EE7BE685-DB0C-4F06-B6AF-A513B3C7D969}</uid>
<menu priority="20">
<caption>Add Character</caption>
<value>#local $Name $desc
$Name = %prompt("","Enter the name of the character")
#addkey friends $Name %selected
$desc = %selected
#TR {~{%selected~}} {#window Friends %db(@friends, %i)} Friends</value>
</menu>
<var name="friends" type="Record">
<value>John=a blue-eyed brown haired man|red=a blue-eyed brown haired man|dff=a blue-eyed brown haired man</value>
<json>{"John":"a blue-eyed brown haired man","red":"a blue-eyed brown haired man","dff":"a blue-eyed brown haired man"}</json>
</var>
<class name="Friends">
<trigger priority="120">
<pattern>~{%selected~}</pattern>
<value>#window Friends %db(@friends, %i)</value>
</trigger>
<trigger name="a blue-eyed brown haired man" priority="110">
<pattern>#window Friends %db(@friends, %i)</pattern>
<value>Friends</value>
</trigger>
</class>
</module>
<window name="Friends you know" commandline="false" statusbar="false" visible="false" dockalign="Bottom" left="708" top="292" width="450" height="200" host="none">
<uid>{2F4A8528-439E-47B3-A389-9CA269D7E440}</uid>
<dockuid>{EE7BE685-DB0C-4F06-B6AF-A513B3C7D969}</dockuid>
<packages>English Directions|English Keypad|Clickable URLs|Communication|Character Data Mining|Character Short Description|ShadowsofIsildur</packages>
</window>
</cmud>
|
Now when I look at the new trigger created it isn't putting the values of what was in %selected... Any ideas how to do this? Also I want to display both the key and the value for that trigger in my new window. |

You would need to do something like this:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER %concat("~{",%selected,"~}") {#window... |
Otherwise any variable put into the trigger pattern is only expanded when the trigger is tested, not when it is created. |
