Execute("AUTO Siphoning ON")
else
Execute("AUTO Siphoning OFF")
end
elseif %1=="a battle turret" then
EnableTriggerGroup("Aethership Gunning",true)
SetVariable("treant_auto_Siphoning", "false")
else SetVariable("treant_auto_Siphoning", "false")
end
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
I'm confused! And I just can't see what's wrong. Here;s the error message:
Compile error
World: Treant
Immediate execution
[string "Trigger: Link_up"]:1: '=' expected near 'collector' | | Top |

| "%1", not %1. Quotes are important. %1 isn't part of Lua itself: MUSHclient pre-processes the contents of the Send box each time the trigger fires, replacing %1 with the associated data. So if %1 is an energy collector, your code will look like this before Lua can run it:
aethership_module= an energy collector
Lua has no idea what this is supposed to mean. But if you use "%1", it looks like:
aethership_module= "an energy collector"
And then Lua knows that "an energy collector" contains data.
EDIT: Same goes for every other place you're using %1. |

| | Oh! Such an simple stupid mistake. Thanks a bunch, I was under the impression that it didn't need to be quoted since it was already a string. | | Top |

| | The trick is that it's not anything until the script runs. :) |
