Envenoming/Juggling/Throwing Alias

Virgo

Okay, so I have this alias I need help on - https://hastebin.com/welucafehu.lua

1) 1DaggerNumbersGoHere, 2DaggerNumbersGoHere, 3DaggerNumbersGoHere are obviously supposed to specific daggers based on the venom that had been applied. I don't know how to make a script/alias/trigger that would set it. 

2) I'm not fully sure how the queueing works, so, I need help there, too.

Just a BTW - 

^tj (g|c|k|v|s)(g|c|k|v|s)(g|c|k|v|s) (\w+)$

- is my pattern.

Please and thanks?

Wait, I figured out what I could do   I could make a trigger that sets each dagger a variable (or something), and then use that. Nevermind, there are three daggers.

I'd still like help, if there's a more sophisticated way, though.

First off I would using throwing axes instead of daggers, they are a tiny bit faster.

Second, I can't comment on the actual code of alias and whether it's correct or not.

Third, you're over complicating it a little bit. You don't need to use specific weapon numbers, and you don't need to do envenom dagger;throw dagger. You can do throw dagger at cooper curare and it will automatically throw a dagger with curare on it.

Since you're just starting out, pre-deciding what venoms to use in one alias is okay, but down the road you'll want to pick the venoms based on what your opponent is curing.

When I was jester (RIP lucrescent nuts) I did all my throwing on the keypad of my keyboard.

0 = stand/unwield blackjack/juggle stop/get axe/get axe/get axe/juggle axe axe axe
1 = kalmia
2 = slike
3 = gecko
4 = aconite
5 = curare
6 = use itch powder
7 = vernalius
8 = voyria
9 = epteth
Others as necessary.

Wow, I did not know that was a thing. Thanks.

Try using tables for the alias, and local variables.

Local table = {
c = "curare",
k = "kalmia",
Etc.,
}

local v1 = table[matches[2]]
local v2 = table[matches[3]]
local v3 = table[matches[4]]

Send("stand/unwield blackjack/get dagger/get dagger/get dagger/juggle dagger dagger dagger/queue add eqbal throw dagger at "..targer.." "..v1.."/queue add eqbal throw dagger at "..target.." "..v2.."/queue add eqbal throw dagger at "..target.." "..v3) 

At least, i think you can create local variables in an alias, but there may be a more efficient way.  I create functions for those types of things.

May be typos in there, as im on mobile, but you get the idea

Virgo

Yea, I got it, I just have no clue how to use tables yet, lol. I have made a script (??) that has the above in it, so I can go straight to it once I learn more.

Alaskar

Putting that in the script section for your alias, replacing target with your target variable, and removing the etc. bit from the table should work. 

Basically, a table (there are different types, btw) can be used to create a set of keys and values that you reference like a dictionary, where the key is the word and the value is the definition you want. So in my table, the key k returns the value kalmia,  and you just tell it where to find it. So table[k] is the same as "kalmia". Further, any time you do table[any thing here] if it matches a key in the table, it will return a value. 

Im sure some of my nomenclature is technically incorrect, but thats how i think of it. The local bits above are just to let you create variables that only exist inside that alias, so you dont need unique names and such.
