Help with Prompt Triggers

I am trying to build a trigger that will set off based on your trigger. The trigger is suppose to set off when it sees this:

<44/44hp 121/121m

If it matters, my entire prompt is this:

<44/44hp 121/121m 112mv 950xps>

I have it set up to do this when it is - supposed - to trigger:

wake
cast 'detect invis'
get jerky
get jerky
eat jerky
eat jerky
drink water
drink water
sleep
afk

Here is the problem: For some reason, even though the <44/44hp 121/121m shows up in my prompt, the trigger doesn't fire off. Why?

Can you tell us what trigger you have, ie. the trigger text? Have you got "regular expressions" checked?

If you are trying to match on exactly:


<44/44hp 121/121m


then you need a trailing wildcard, otherwise it will match on that, but not with something more on the line.

ie. Your trigger would be:


<44/44hp 121/121m*


The asterisk is a wildcard.

The original text for a prompt is this:

<%h/%Hhp %m/%Mm %vmv %xxps> =
<44/44hp 121/121m 112mv 924xps>

I have tried the trailing wildcard, and it still doesn't work. I can run the trigger with everything on the prompt, but when I move down in xps, the trigger doesn't work anymore, due to the xps amount changing.

You haven't said what the trigger itself is.

I presume that:


<%h/%Hhp %m/%Mm %vmv %xxps> =


... is simply what you tell the MUD to display. As a trigger that wouldn't match anything.

The trigger would need to be something like:


<*/*hp */*m *mv *xps>*


The asterisk in each case matches the "unknown" (ie the number) that will change each time.

I have placed the following as my trigger, none of them has worked:

<44/44hp 121/121m*
<*/*hp */*m *vmv *xps>

In both cases I have toggled "Regular Expressions" on and off, to check to see if they would work,

The %h/%H and so on, are just code to tell the mud what to put in (%h = the currant amount of Hit Points you have, while %H = the maximum amount of Hit Points you have.)

If it helps. I want my trigger set with my prompt, so that my character will cast two spells, when both hp, and mana, are both at their max. (44/44hp 121/121m.)

Then, obviously, the trigger will not fire off again, until my character regens up to full hp - and - mana again.

Obviously, the number behind the '/' is a set number, as that is your max hp and mana. The number before the '/' is the one that changes.

Though I am sure I am completely wrong...would the following work?

<*/44hp */121m

As the wildcard sets the number changing, and compares it to the set number?

Just a guess..and if you have a migrane due to my failure to understand..I am sorry :)

Set the trigger to this:
<*/*hp 121/121m *mv *xps> = *

Check "keep evaluating".

Put your bot info in. That should work, I tested it on Mirk. Send me a tell there (Bleys) if you can't get it going.

Almost, but you need a trailing asterisk to catch "the rest of the line".


<*/44hp */121m*


These examples are not regular expressions, so leave that unchecked.

Finally, when testing these, prompt triggers are not matched until a "newline" character is received, so they won't match until something else arrives.

In other words:


<44/44hp 121/121m 112mv 950xps> (cursor here)


... won't match (yet). The trigger matching is done when the line has completely arrived. If you are testing, press <enter> to force a new line. eg.


<44/44hp 121/121m 112mv 950xps>
(cursor here)
