Mudlet Simple Question

Ismay

Hey, I want to write a simple trigger that will announce mindnet only if they are enemies, including the area location. This is what I have so far, which could very well be incorrect:

^(\w+) has left the area\.$


if target_calling == true and ndb.isenemy(matches[2]) then

send("pt " .. matches[2] .. " left " ..something goes here, I know it)

end

Any help would be appreciated.

send("pt " .. matches[2] .. " left " .. gmcp.Room.Info.area)

should work, I think.

I don't want to open a new thread for another question.

I'm trying to write a script that would allow me to use a specific alias to check 'who here' and enemy all on that list IF I use that particular alias. I don't want to enemy everyone on who here if I'm not using that alias. Can anyone help, please?

You will need an alias which sets a flag to true (with an optioal tempTimer to set it to false again after a certain time has elapsed as failsafe), a trigger which runs off the standard output for who here and parses it into a list then passes a series of enemying commands if the flag is true, then sets the flag to false again. Probably need something to clear your existing enemy list too.

A good alternative, Klendathu has a very nice gmcp tracker in his signature that tells you who is in the room.  You could write an alias that simply enemied off the table he populates.

Edit: on mobile, so I can't guarantee its still there.  Guessing. .

I want to add another action to this alias, by means of setting a variable, but I am not sure how to do it.


send("setalias tkc combo "..target.." "..kicks[matches[2]].." "..punch[matches[3]].." "..punch[matches[4]].."/"..mindcmd[matches[5]])

send("queue add eqbal tkc")

I'd like to add stancing to the end of this alias, but only if unstanced. I already have my variable created and all the relevant trigger lines to change the variable. I'm just not sure how to add the if statement to this.

I thought about doing this:

if unstanced == true then

send("queue add eqbal scs")

end

But, monks can stance while off balance, I think. So, I'd be wasting more balance stancing when I don't need to. Any suggestions?

If unstanced then
  local stance = "/scs"
else 
  local stance = ""
end

send("setalias tkc combo "..target.." "..kicks[matches[2]].." "..punch[matches[3]].." "..punch[matches[4]].."/"..mindcmd[matches[5]]..""..stance)

send("queue add eqbal tkc")

Edit: mobile so it's ugly, but that's one way to do it.  Another would be to simply call a function that returns the stance instead of a variable

Two options that do the same thing:
1)

if unstanced then
  send("setalias tkc combo "..target.." "..kicks[matches[2]].." "..punch[matches[3]].." "..punch[matches[4]].."/"..mindcmd[matches[5]].."/scs")
else
  send("setalias tkc combo "..target.." "..kicks[matches[2]].." "..punch[matches[3]].." "..punch[matches[4]].."/"..mindcmd[matches[5]])
end

2)

send("setalias tkc combo "..target.." "..kicks[matches[2]].." "..punch[matches[3]].." "..punch[matches[4]].."/"..mindcmd[matches[5]]..(unstanced and "/scs" or ""))

The second is more concise, but the first might make the logic easier to understand.
