Hey all, so I have minimal to zero knowledge of programming but I'm getting back into MUDs. I've been reading serval other forums on auto rollers and wanted to take a crack.

So based upon what I've read, I tried to mimic a lua string for my mud.

Basic MUD stats output:


Your abilities are:
  Str  [Weak       ]  Int  [Brilliant ]  Wis  [Above Avg   ]
  Dex  [Below Avg  ]  Con  [Below Avg ]  Cha  [Below Avg   ]
Roll again?(y/n):

I keep getting this error:


Error number: 0
Event:        Compile error
Description:  [string "Script file"]:1: unexpected symbol near '<'
Called by:    Immediate execution

Below is the code I tried:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   ignore_case="y"
   lines_to_match="2"
   keep_evaluating="y"
   match="^  Str  \[(...........)\]  Int  \[(..........)\]  Wis  \[(............)\]\n  Dex  \[(...........)\]  Con  \[(..........)\] $"
   multi_line="y"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>require "wait"

Str = Trim("%1")
Int = Trim("%2")
Wis = Trim("%3")
Dex = Trim("%4")
Con = Trim("%5")

YStr = "No"
YInt = "No"
YWis = "No"
YDex = "No"
YCon = "No"
YCha = "No"

if Str == "Strong" or 
   Str == "Potent" or 
   Str == "Muscular" or
then
   YStr = "Yes"
end

if Int == "Genius" or 
   Int == "Gifted" or 
then
   YInt = "Yes"
end

if Wis == "Shrewd" or
   Wis == "Crafty" or
then
   YWis = "Yes"
end

if Dex == "Agile" or
   Dex == "Nimble" or
   Dex == "Smooth" or
then
   YDex = "Yes"
end

if Con == "Sturdy" or
   Con == "Hardy" or
   Con == "Husky" or
then
   YCon = "Yes"
end

if YStr == "Yes" and 
   YInt == "Yes" and 
   YWis == "Yes" and 
   YDex == "Yes" and 
   YCon == "Yes" and 
   YCha == "Yes"
then 
    Send ("n")
else
    print ("** Stats rejected **  ", YStr, "  ", YInt, "  ", YWis, "  ",  YDex, "  ", YCon, "  ")
    DoAfter(0.25,"y")
end
</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

Did you really copy and paste that as per this page?

For advice on how to copy aliases, timers or triggers from within MUSHclient, and paste them into a forum message, please see Copying XML.

That trigger would never match because:

It is not enabled; and
You have a "$" at the end (after the Con stuff) and thus it wouldn't match on "Cha ... etc".

Assuming you fix that, this is wrong:


if Str == "Strong" or 
   Str == "Potent" or 
   Str == "Muscular" or
then
   YStr = "Yes"
end

You don't want that last "or", because it reads "or then". Ditto for elsewhere.

Actually that suggests that you have pasted the entire thing you showed above into the trigger "Send" box. For a trigger in XML (with <triggers> etc. in it) you need to follow this guideline:

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

My earlier remarks still apply once you have done that.
