OK, let me see the whole thing, not just the lines I changed. In the trigger configuration window (where they are all listed) shift-click to select both triggers, then click "copy" and then paste the results into a message here.

You have double-quoted the trigger match string.

If you look carefully you will see the line:

match="&quot;*[Str: * Int: * Wis: * Dex: * Con: *]&quot;"

So, it is trying to match on "[Str ...

This won't match (the quotes won't be there) so it will get zero.

Either just edit the trigger to remove the quote at the start and end, or copy the triggers from below and replace them ...


<triggers>
  <trigger
   custom_colour="2"
   enabled="y"
   match="*[Str: * Int: * Wis: * Dex: * Con: *]"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="90"
  >
  <send>SetVariable "str", "%2"
SetVariable "int", "%3"
SetVariable "wis", "%4"
SetVariable "dex", "%5"
SetVariable "con", "%6"</send>
  </trigger>
  <trigger
   custom_colour="3"
   enabled="y"
   match="Keep these stats? (Y/N)*"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>dim total

total = CInt (GetVariable ("str")) _
      + CInt (GetVariable ("int")) _
      + CInt (GetVariable ("wis")) _
      + CInt (GetVariable ("dex")) _
      + CInt (GetVariable ("con"))

if total &gt;= CInt (GetVariable ("total_wanted")) then
  Send "Y"
  Note "** Accepted total stats of " &amp; total
else
  Send "N"
  Note "Rejected total stats of " &amp; total
end if

</send>
  </trigger>

It's not double quoted when you actually go into the trigger and look at the match. I don't know why it copied that way when I did the highlight and clicked the copy button.

I entered the last code stuff you gave me, however, it's making me manually insert no or yes.

When I do type "N", it gives me:

[Str: 46 Int: 46 Wis: 46 Dex: 34 Con: 36]
Keep these stats? (Y/N) [Str: 38 Int: 52 Wis: 50 Dex: 38 Con: 43]
Keep these stats? (Y/N)

Which makes no sense.

Hmm - I am assuming now that the line that says: "Keep these stats? (Y/N)" does not have a newline at the end.

That is why the trigger isn't matching - it doesn't match until the newline arrives.

I have done it a different way below - remove the two triggers and replace with this (one trigger and one timer) - you can import them through the File menu -> Import -> Clipboard.

What this does is use a technique documented elsewhere:


http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbsubject_id=1898


This uses a 1-second timer to check to see if the line "Keep these stats? (Y/N)" has arrived, and if so, sends Y or N.

You may need to edit the script in the timer slightly to add a trailing space (eg. "Keep these stats? (Y/N) ") - note the space at the end - it isn't obvious from your post whether it is there or not. 


<timers>
  <timer enabled="y" second="1"    send_to="12"
>
  <send>Dim iNumber

'
'  Find line number of last line in buffer
'
  iNumber = world.GetLinesInBufferCount
 
'
' Process if it:
'  a) does not have a newline at the end
'  b) is not a world.note line
'  c) is not player input
'

  if world.GetLineInfo (iNumber, 3) = 0 and _
     world.GetLineInfo (iNumber, 4) = 0 and _
     world.GetLineInfo (iNumber, 5) = 0 then
 
    sLine = world.GetLineInfo (iNumber, 1)

    if world.GetLineInfo (iNumber, 1) = _
       "Keep these stats? (Y/N)" then 
    
      if CInt (GetVariable ("total")) &gt;= _
         CInt (GetVariable ("total_wanted")) then
        Send "Y"
        Note "** Accepted total stats of " &amp; total
      else
       Send "N"
        Note "Rejected total stats of " &amp; total
      end if  ' end total not OK

    end if  ' end of "Keep these stats" line

  end if  ' end of output from MUD with no newline
</send>

  </timer>
</timers>

<triggers>
  <trigger
   custom_colour="2"
   enabled="y"
   match="*[Str: * Int: * Wis: * Dex: * Con: *]"
   send_to="12"

I followed your directions exactly, but I must be doing something wrong.

This method does nothing but color the stats yellow. It sits there and does absolutely nothing.

So, the timer isn't matching. Did you try adding a space? ie. change the lines:


if world.GetLineInfo (iNumber, 1) = _
       "Keep these stats? (Y/N)" then


to


if world.GetLineInfo (iNumber, 1) = _
       "Keep these stats? (Y/N) " then

Actually, it was an error on my part. I only copied part of the code. I apologize for wasting your time in that way.

Anyway, with the code in properly, it outputs:

Rejected total stats of
[Str: 47 Int: 56 Wis: 47 Dex: 39 Con: 41]
Keep these stats? (Y/N)
N

It's not showing me the numbers, so I have no idea if it's passing up numbers lower than the "stats XXX" I input before I start.

Goodness.

Does the line with the stats on it get coloured (ie. does the trigger fire?), and what, if anything, is the value of the variable "total"? You can check that from the variables configuration window.

If Nick has the time and the inclination, I think it's an excellent idea.

Connect to dsl-mud.org on port 4000


There's a bit of character creation (physical traits and then pulling the rope for name approval) before the actual rolling process, so it can get tedious to go through after the millionth time.

Just a quick note that this MUD doesn't allow multi-playing (more than one character connected to them at the same time), even in creation mode, and doing it is immediate grounds for site banning. It's not a good idea to open more than one window for sake of time, unfortunately.

Just go to the File menu -> Import -> Clipboard. Before doing that, remove the existing one if it is still there.

Do you wish to customize this character?
Customization takes time, but allows a wider range of skills and abilities.

I added a couple of extra lines to show what it had calculated, and what the limit you set was.

Works like a charm, now. *lol*

Thank you very much, I'm in your debt.

Edit: Or...it did, rather. I wasn't aware that in creation mode you see when people leave or join the game.

Wanted 235
[Str: 65 Int: 35 Wis: 53 Dex: 31 Con: 59]
Calculated total stats of 225
Keep these stats? (Y/N)
Eetba has left the game.


And it stops. It's no big deal because I can enter "N" myself and it will keep going, but I thought I'd mention it.


Edit 2: Also, scripting while away from the keyboard is also illegal in this game. I tried to go AFK and disabled the scripts, and recieved:

Send-to-script cannot execute because scripting is not enabled.

over and over and over. *L*
