Highlighting target prompts in mudlet

Kharne

Is their a way to highlight when a target puts up rebounding and only the target (dont want anyone else highlighted)

Trigger on:
^You suddenly perceive the vague outline of an aura of rebounding around (\w+)\.$


Script is:
if string.lower("" .. matches[2] .. "") == string.lower("" .. Target .. "") then

<<put your highlight script here>>

end

Kharne

Thanks alot Lerad!

Neos

can change string.lower("" .. matches[2] .. "") to just string.lower(matches[2]) or even just matches[2]:lower()

Kharne

It seems to be highlighting everyone's name that is putting up rebounding and not just the target.

Neos

check the error console(exclamation point button)

Kharne

Just a few million of these
value)>
[ERROR:] object:<Reboundings> function:<Trigger2658>
         <[string "function Trigger2658()..."]:2: attempt to concatenate global 'Target' (a nil
value)>

So I imagine its looking for the word target, rather than picking my targets name off the table?

This is assuming your target variable is in fact named "Target".  If you use a different variable, you'll want to use that instead.

Kharne

this is for targetting

target = matches[2]

target = string.title(target)

cecho("\nTarget is: " .. target .. ".\n")

and

this is the script I used for rebounding

if string.lower(matches[2]) == string.lower("" .. target .. "") then

cecho("/nTARGET IS REBOUNDING./n")

end

Neos

if matches[2]:lower() == target:lower() then

OR

if matches[2]:title() == target then

OR

if matches[2] == target:lower() then

BUT do check the error view for any continued errors. Also, it seems from the error you have Target, not target. Lua is case-sensitive.

Kharne

Thanks alot, Neos. I'll give that a crack
