Small Coding Questions

then I dont know what you two are doing as I followed the above step and my cmud one is working fine .. @Moirean @Saybre‌ Sorry tried to help..

Does table.index_of() actually work in Mudlet? It's on the wiki, but it keeps throwing me an error when I try to use it.

Seems to work for me; I'm using it in my next-aff picking script and not getting any errors. You sure you're using a simple indexed table? Please inspect the results of display(that_table) And maybe post the line (or a few lines) of the code where you are using it?

Toz

edit: Fixed, don't name your variable 'table'.

I use my own function for that sort of thing: --itable script itable = itable or {} function itable:remove(t,n) local temp = {} local n = tonumber(n) local newcount = 0 for num,val in ipairs(t) do if num ~= n then newcount = newcount + 1 temp[newcount] = val end end return temp end function itable:removeall(t,v) local temp = {} local newcount = 0 for _,val in ipairs(t) do if val ~= v then newcount = newcount + 1 temp[newcount] = val end end return temp end --[[ temptable = {"item1", "item2", "item3", "item2",} display(temptable) --temptable = itable:remove(temptable,2) temptable = itable:removeall(temptable,"item3") display(temptable) ]]--

Hi, I've been snooping around TW and found what I -think- is a half-alive auto-chameleon script.

This:
local cham_number = math.random(#tw.chamlist)

send(tw.settings.defs.chameleon .. " " .. tw.chamlist[cham_number], false)
send("touch chameleon", false)

My question is: How do I populate tw.chamlist and have it cycle through it? I've tried

local tw.chamlist = {
"name1",
"name2",
}

but that doesn't seem to work.


Edit: Nevermind, I got it. Turns out lists have to be defined in scripts, not aliases.

Nalor

ye @ Lim and dont use local, just put

tw.chamlist = {"king", "bob", "batman"} .... and so on :P

Lim

Okay, I'm Bob the Batman King now.

Running a script to math stuff and the numbers are weird. I put in some echoes to spit out each step and here's what I get:

$sum=0
#loo 1,%numitems(%1) {$sum=$sum+%eval(%1.%i);#say add: %1.%i;#say $sum}
#return %ansi(grey)%format("&10.0n", $sum)

Edit: It's just randomly dropping the value of one key from the dbvar sometimes. This is soooo weird. The variable itself still has all the values, it's just when I run it through the function it'll drop one of the values.

Edit2: It has to do with the actual amount in the value. 1-9 it hates. It's cool with 10. 10 is a nice number. But no way to 11, 21, 22, 23 or 24.

Irruel

It's been too long for me to really help.

It looks like a type error, where it comes across a string instead of a number, and rather than returning an error, it concatenates instead of adding, which makes the whole thing a string.

That said, try doing the adding within %eval:
$sum = %eval($sum + %1.%i)

Failing that, this may be a good one for the cmud forum, as it may be a genuine bug.

Moirean

Yeah I think that might be what's going on. For now, I was able to workaround by just dropping the %eval and it adds fine, but then it does the same issue for OTHER strings. I think it may have to do with how the variable is created, so I'll play with trying to set the type more explicitly.

Irruel

look into whether there is a zscript equivalent of lua's: tonumber(var)

Sheirosia

Could also see if zscript can coerce a variable. Something like ("5" + 0) would hopefully coerce it into an integer.

Irruel

From memory, which isn't great as it's been about 6 years now, %eval ought to achieve that coercing. It is the equivalent of the #math call, so nothing that happens inside it can be anything but a number.

Hi guys I have been trying to track down a few lines for my system, but have meet an impasse with this set. Therefore is anyone willing to pm or post the trigger (affliction) lines, so I can begin adding them myself later.

Pyrolum A simple resin that releases toxic fumes when burnt.
Combust Instantly ignite resins in your presence.
Corsin A heavy resin that barely burns, but hardens rapidly.
Trientia A thin resin that ignites at a moment's notice.
Harimel A slow-burning resin that sticks to the skin.
Glauxe An adhesive resin that emits a thick smoke when burned.
Badulem An unpredictable resin that mimics venoms.
Lysirine A resin with a pleasant and sleep-inducing aroma.

So I've been pondering over this for a while now, and it's probably a really easy solution I just can't see the answer.

So I want to take and compare one table with another table. Now the first table will have 2 columns IE, affliction + true/false. The second table has nothing but one curing tree afflictions. Like all tree or all focus.

How would I go about comparing the affliction from the first table with all of the afflictions in the second single table so I can set another variable.

Moirean

Depends what client you are on.

Daegon

Oh crap, forgot that part. I'm using Mudlet.

if table1.stupidity == true and table.contains(table2, "stupidity") then
send("whatever")
do whatever
end

Like that?

for aff, v in pairs(tabletwo) do -- being a list of affs like "stupidity", "paresis" etc

if tableone[aff] then -- tableone being true.false table
send("thisthatway")

end
end

^^ is for mudlet

I tried yours Nalor. But I had to alter it. Cause I need to compare the true/false table with the other table. Not the other way around.

So it would be something like this

for aff,i in pairs(player.affs) do if i then if d.afftypes.focus[aff] then d.reclamation = d.reclamation + 1 end end end

Now what I was hoping that would do is check the enemy affs, find out if the aff is true, then compare it with the focus list. If the player has the aff, and it is also a focus aff then it would add 1 point to reclamation variable.

Though thinking on it I'd have to also add in a check so it's not comparing the same affliction every time so I don't get a false reading of something like 3 from one focus affliction being on there.

But back to this problem. I tried this and it doesn't do anything at all.

I don't know if it makes a difference but here's what the focus table looks like, and the player aff table.

d.afftypes.focus = { "stupidity", "anorexia", "epilepsy", "mirroring", "paranoia", "hallucinations", "shyness", "stuttering", "dizziness", "indifference", "berserking", "pacifism", "loverseffect", "hatred", "generosity", "claustrophobia", "vertigo", "loneliness", "agoraphobia", "superstition", "masochism", "recklessness", "weariness", "impatience", "confusion", "dementia", "premonition", } player.affs(Has to be done via IG since there is no actual table, just adds and removes.) { insulation = true, rebounding = false, sileris = true }

check your inbox @daegon Send you my script for what your after, its much easier

In Mudlet, is there any way to accept input from a miniconsole/label other than clicking? Ideally, a little box blips up and has text boxes you can type stuff into.

Not really, no.

Hello, I'm trying to set up a key binding for my sdk ucp ucp combo, this is what I am using
send("combo " .. target " sdk ucp ucp ")
But it will not fire. Would someone be able to tell me what I am doing wrong?
(I do have a targeting alias set up, it looks like this:
^t (\w+)$

target = matches[2]:lower():title()
cecho("\n\ntarget = " .. target)

Just in case the problem might be in my targeting alias.

Xarian

The problem is that you're not concatenating correctly.
send("combo " .. target " sdk ucp ucp ")
should be
send("combo " .. target .. " sdk ucp ucp ")

Daegon

Logically speaking. If I use table.concat to sort a table with \n to separate the values into their own lines. Shouldn't using echo in a geyser label then spit back out the new string, with the table values sorted properly? Instead I'm just getting the string sent back as if I never used table.concat- Except there are spaces between each value.

Cylano

Could you post the code you're using to do that? Could be a small syntax error.

Drahkuna

Yeah, there are a few things that could be happening. We'd have to see your code.
