HTML5 Client Questions and Such

If that's supposed to be JavaScript, and N is the length of the array you're iterating over, that should be either for(var i = 0; i < N; i++) or for(var i = 0; i <= N-1; i++). If you include N, or even worse N+1, you're going to retrieve elements that don't exist, and unless your code explicitly handles undefined you'll end up with errors thrown.

And from what I see, Lua is not "totally undoable", but it definitely throws me (though not as much as what I saw of JS, which made me nope nope nope out of the gate).

If your main argument is that Lua is confusing for a total novice programmer, then I don't really know what to tell you. I think if you struggle with Lua then you'll struggle with literally any other language a MUD client might choose to support; Python isn't really any easier to learn, and I don't remember the documentation being any better.

My (almost totally uninformed) opinion is that well written - and, perhaps, this is where things start to fall down since the majority of players write the most atrociously formatted code - Lua is among the easiest of any code to read, because the syntax it uses is the closest to actual English.

Yeah I realized that I messed that one up about 2 minutes too late

Wait, no, I just meant that i<=N is better than i < N+1 when he's doing lua for loops where N=5 is 1-5 instead of 0-4.

I probably should avoid things like this at 3am. Bleh.

@Nazihk
First: for i=1,n,1 works just fine.

Second: most iterating over tables uses ipairs(), so, theres that.

While I'm sure we could debate the merits of the various programming languages and their implementations, let's try to keep this thread for questions/feedback about Nexus please!

New player here, trying to figure out the basics. How would I use the @match variable in this case? I tried "@match" and "match", but both did not work for me.

So, after outputting "@match", it seems like it is an object. Is there any way to inspect it?

For anyone wondering the same, this event seems bugged, I could not make it work, even after reading all their help files.

Similar trigger could be achieved through script - add this to onGMCP function.

args.gmcp_args.name == 'prone' - you can put any affliction name here

// Place any code here you'd like to run when a GMCP message is received

// - The GMCP message is received as "args.gmcp_method" and "args.gmcp_args"

if (args.gmcp_method == 'Char.Afflictions.Add' && args.gmcp_args.name == 'prone') {

display_notice('I AM PRONE');

}
