Multiple line triggers? I dunno...

I thought I understood them from the helpfile but I still didnt get it to do what I want unfortunately. And what I want may need more then multiple line triggers, possibly variables and im just not very good at JScript or any scripting except mIRC (which is very simplified or something), which I wish there was a mud client that was just like it with its scripting abilities.

Heres what I want it to do...

"We" have 6 different color die (red, blue, green, yellow, silver, purple), "we" type game progessive to roll the die (we start out on red). The line we see after typing that command is "You roll the red die!" (and so on for the other die colors). When we advance to the next die, "we" get the line "Congratulations! You move up a color on your die on your next roll." and what I want it to do when I get that line (while on the YELLOW die) is to enter the command "game progessive payout". Any idea how to make that script?

Note: What I currently do is type "game progessive" after each roll of the die, and if im on silver I roll the die once and then payout, but sometimes I can win with just 1 roll of silver and I dont want to win on silver.

If you need any more info, please post here (dont email). There are other lines we get after rolling the die, such as:

Large win! You win 5000 gold to your pot.
Your pot contains 6000 gold coins right now.

I'm not sure if you're asking about a multi line trigger, or multiple triggers which would match on the various lines.

Personally, I'd have a regex trigger which would match on
^You roll a (red|blue|green|yellow|silver|purple) die!$
And then just have stash the colour in a variable. In the trigger set off by the die result, just have the script check this variable for "yellow" and enable a trigger that matches on "Congratulations! You move up a color on your die on your next roll." which sends "game progressive payout"

im not sure how to make all that....so I took the (seemingly) LONG way around and heres what I have (see next 2 posts).

The problem is it stops sending the command "game prog" some where along the line after i get to the green die, and I do not know why. Also, I cant get it to type game prog on the "What luck!" line, dunno why that either but it usually all stops when i get to that part

Btw, the full line of "What luck!" is:

What luck! You gain 81 quest points!

Is all that just for matching that one line for yellow? Picking through your code is a little confusing since there are several triggers getting switched on and off that match on the same thing. I'm pretty sure that the lucky quest point one isn't matching simply because it hasn't been turned on. Unfortunately, since you said that the script doesn't quite work, I'm having some difficulty piecing everything together here. What precisely do you want to do here? Just need a list of conditions you're checking for, and specific output from the mud. I'm pretty sure I have the basic idea of what you're doing, and I'm trying to figure out how to condense things a bit.

Another thing real quick if you want your code a bit more readable on the forum. There are forum codes you can use to make sure that spaces aren't stripped from your post. Just encapsulate your code in the code tags. [code]foo[\code]

the What luck line has to be enabled as it is in the same group as the others.

Groups are as follows for the dice:
redd = red die
bluegreen = blue die
badd = green die
almost = yellow die

most of the triggers are just to keep rolling the die for each color unless I advance to the silver die while on yellow, in which i force myself out of the game (game prog payout).

Helpless Thu 03 May 2007 05:41 AM #7

well it turns out im an idiot, after all this time I finally realized why it stopped working on the green die.

The problem was that some of the group was labeled "baddd" and some of it "badd". Stupid extra D.
Sorry to have wasted your time.
