| Hi, i am completely new to scripts and i wanted to make a script delay before the trigger sends off multiple commands.
Reading the forum i have found out that i can make the trigger "send to script" and someone else posted the script line to make it have a random delay.
DoAfter(math.random(0.5),"daze attacker")
This works like a charm, however i cannot figure out how to add multiple commands to that line.
I want it to send 4-5 commands to the mud on the trigger after the random delay, so something like this?:
DoAfter(math.random(0.5),"daze attacker"/"knockdown attacker"/"kill attacker")
I simply cannot figure out how to make that work :P
Hope you can help me :) | | Top |

| First, math.random only accepts integers, so you can't give it 0.5 as input. If you want 0.1-0.5 you need to do 1-5 and then divide by 10.
The thread I found (https://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=4351&reply=1) suggests "daze attacker\\nknockdown attacker\\nkill attacker" or "daze attacker\nknockdown attacker\nkill attacker" depending on where you do it.
You can also replace DoAfter with DoAfterSpecial and have _that_ send to Execute (you control where DoAfterSpecial sends to) and then use your configured command stack character if you have that enabled (commonly a semicolon) .
Like
DoAfterSpecial(math.random(5)/10, "daze attacker;knockdown attacker;kill attacker", sendto.execute)
or more generically
local stack_char = GetAlphaOption("command_stack_character")
DoAfterSpecial(math.random(5)/10, "daze attacker"..stack_char.."knockdown attacker"..stack_char.."kill attacker", sendto.execute)
Or you can have it send to script and do
DoAfterSpecial(math.random(5)/10, 'Send("daze attacker");Send("knockdown attacker");Send("kill attacker")', sendto.script)

| The MUD uses newlines to separate commands, so just put newlines between them. Fiendish is right about the math.random function returning integers.
DoAfter (math.random(5)/10, "daze attacker\nknockdown attacker\nkill attacker")
I notice Fiendish actually suggested this, so now you have two such suggestions. :) |

| If you want more randomness (that is, a random delay between each command) then see this thread:
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=4956
In particular, the example here:
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=4956&reply=2#reply2
For example:
<aliases>
<alias
match="test"
enabled="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
require "wait"
wait.make (function ()
wait.time (math.random(5)/10)
Send ("daze attacker")
wait.time (math.random(5)/10)
Send ("knockdown attacker")
wait.time (math.random(5)/10)
Send ("kill attacker")
end)
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

I agree with Fiendish. However sometimes bad UTF8 characters in a post will cause it to be truncated. Save the post somewhere else (eg. Notepad) before sending, in case you need to examine it and re-post it. |
