Discern TP kill line isn't working :(

Liok

^(\w+)\'s ego stands at (\d+)/(\d+)\.$   (set to regex)

local name = matches[2]

local ego = tonumber(matches[3])

local maxego = tonumber(matches[4])

local percent = math.floor(ego / maxego * 100)

if percent < 50 and name == target then

send("psi super mindburst " .. target)

else

send("psi super " .. tpattack .. " " .. target)

end

send("psi id " .. tpid .. " " .. target)

send("psi sub " .. tpsub .. " " .. target)

Nothing happens when I discern my target.  Halp

No, the regex ^$ symbols instruct it to look for the triggered line only if it starts and ends on a newline all its own. This means it doesn't matter which line it shows up in a bunch, as long as it is a line of its own, it'll match.

You can add an echo("test") and see if it shows up when you discern someone. If it does, it means the trigger is matching properly (as it should) and there's something wrong with your script somewhere, if it doesn't, it means the trigger isn't matching.

tpid = "stupidity"

tpsub = "addiction"

need the "" quotes to signify a string, otherwise it thinks you are talking about a variable 'stupidity' that doesn't exist and is = nil, which would set tpid = nil

Lerad

I'm not an expert at regex, but I saw you didn't backslash the / between the ego and max ego in your trigger. I think mudlet might still capture it properly, but you might want to try backslashing it, since if nothing happens (not even your id and sub attacks) that means the entire trigger isn't firing at all.

Also note that with your current script, your "target" variable needs to be exactly the same as the person you're discerning, including capitalization. So if your target is stored as "lerad", it won't work, since my name shows up as "Lerad" in game messages. You'll need to use string.lower(matches[2]) to change it. Also note that once you do that, if you target with capitalization (like tab-completion) the same problem will happen in reverse unless you string.lower your targetting alias as well.

Liok

Even with the backslash, it's not working.  Also, my target is always capitalized (thanks to Kelly!).

Hmm, looks like it should be working. Be sure you have defined your 'tpattack', 'tpid' and 'tpsub' variables and are not treating them as local values maybe?

100% did that the first run through.  The second one, though, I realize now that I didn't.

Could it be something with the Discern output being five lines, the ego portion being the fourth?

Liok

Okay. So, with an echo added, I'm sure it's matching properly.  The problem is in the code.  Problem there is, I can't find it

Liok

Found it.  The trigger which is supposed to set the tpattack variable is not doing its job.

You blast the mind of   (begin of line substring)

tpattack = psychicvampirism

Edit: Neither are the aliases setting the variables "tpid" and "tpsub."  What the goose.

Edit 2: Right.  So, an alias "k1" which reads:

tpid = stupidity

tpsub = addiction

is not setting those variables.  However, if I do alias "k (\w+)" which reads:

tpid = matches[2]

it is.  The same is happening with the above trigger.  Earlier, I had it set so that instead of setting the variable to the attack itself, it set it to either 1 or 0, then went through an if/then to send the attack.  That worked fine.  But this work.  So confused

Liok

THANK YOU!  Finally.  Working like a charm.
