Gauge tutorial?
|
Hey,
I'm totally new in using the more advanced features in cmud. I only came as far as using the automapper feature.
Anyway I wonder if there's some guide for newbies to make a hp/sp gauge out there? The ones I seen I didn't understand them.
What I know is that you at least has the get the hp/sp info from the buffer. I know also that you have to write a trigger to do that,
but that's where i am stuck. I don't know how to write a trigger.
The only trigger that I have tried which also worked is the ones which switch colour of some certain text.
For example:
pattern: What?
#CW
#setcolor orange
I think it was like that probably. Wrong.
Anyway how do I get the hp/sp info to a gauge, if the line looks like this:
** HP: 202/202 SP: 202/202 |

Assuming your prompt follows the order value/max_value, go into the package editor and create a new trigger. Then click on the xml tab and paste the following into the text box on the right side.
| Code: |
<trigger priority="10" newline="false" prompt="true" id="6">
<pattern>^~*~*%sHP:%s(%d)/(%d)%sSP:%s(%d)/(%d)</pattern>
<value>#var HP %1
#var HP_Max %2
#var SP %3
#var SP_Max %4</value>
</trigger>
|
Click save and your trigger is finished. Adjust the trigger on prompt or trigger on new line options if it isn't firing. Now you can set up you gauges using the @HP, @HP_Max, @SP, and @SP_Max variables that the trigger will create.
For the gauges:
Create a new button in the package editor.
Select Gauge from the type drop down box.
Click save.
Select the Gauge tab at the bottom of the editor.
In the Value: box type @HP
In the Max: box type @HP_Max
Adjust the Gauge color and background colors to your liking.
If you want the numeric values displayed on the gauge too in the Caption: box type @HP/@HP_Max
Click save.
You can adjust the size and where they are displayed in the Options tab. |

Thanks for the tutorial.
I followed it however it doesn't work. I guess it might be the trigger.
If you got time to spare, you can try it out maybe?
the mud I need help with is mud.lysator.liu.se port: 2000.
You have to toggle hpinfo also. |

I just wonder one more thing. Since I got GUI for hp/sp, is it possible to filter the hp/sp info out from the buffer? |

Yeah if you want your prompt (the line containing hp/sp info) to not show:
Open the package editor up.
Select your prompt trigger.
Go over to the script box input box and add #GAG in like I have below.
| Code: |
#var HP %1
#var HP_Max %2
#var SP %3
#var SP_Max %4
#gag
|
That will just give you a blank line where the prompt originally was. You could also do something like:
| Code: |
#var HP %1
#var HP_Max %2
#var SP %3
#var SP_Max %4
#sub >
|
Which would replace the prompt string with a single > if you wanted something to break up the text a little. |
