Individual Commands

[SomeRandomGuy12]

First time poster, long time lurker.

I am looking for some guidance/strategy tips for changing my command meta. Basically what I would like it do
do is be able to only have an individual member of my fellow to respond to a command. Something like

Anyone says: NameOne use ItemName

Which would trigger an action for Only the character named "NameOne" to use the item named "ItemName".

Any suggestions for a suitable approach?

Theres a couple ways to do it, you can set your characters up with variables through expressions, or you can use item inventory count.

Thank you for the reply, I am leaning more towards using variables/expressions I guess. I want to make it as flexible as possible, not having to rely on inventory items.

Is it possible to find a way to do something like this?

Someone says "Myname use lever"
Parse string to string1, string2, string3

If Myname=string1 then setvariable listening=1
If listening=1 and string2=use then /say /mt use string3
Set resultcode=1 if success, set resultcode=0 if fail.
If resultcode=1, set listening=0

As you might have guessed I am absolutely terrible at programming, last time I wrote code, it was ASM on 68K, but I hope you get an idea of what I mean.

It's not currently possible, but Virindi has several people that have made the request.

[SomeRandomGuy12]

That give me some hope at least, thank you!

It's as the RegEx User Guide page said. I am currently feeling a slight headache trying to wrap my head around
how to parse a string and using it to set variables.

I have been looking at this example
"# split on simple space
string "aaa bbb ccc"
re = \S+
result = "aaa", "bbb", "ccc""

But headache started when I tried figuring out how to make it in to variables, glad someone stopped me before it got worse

What is is that others have requested more specifically, is there a tracking number I could look at?

Parsing a string and adding a portion to a variable is not currently possible, no matter the regex. That is the request.
Use the decal forums for feature requests.

Concise and to the point, thanks for the clarification, appreciate it!

Sorry for bringing this old thread back to ,ehm, life.

Considering the recent addition of http://www.virindi.net/wiki/index.php/M ... _Condition

Would this be possible now using the ChatMessageCapture ?


Rgds,

[Dmdtt]

yes it would. lets for example say the command you wish to trigger off of is this

Bdf says, "!Dweia use Burning Coal"

first you would need to setup a capture, since you it is from one of your characters make sure the chat capture condition is in an All with a regex to limit only your character commands getting capture something like this

Code: Select all

Chat: (^(\[[A-z]+?\] |)You|.*\<Tell:IIDString:.+:(Char1|Char2|Char3)\>.+\<\\Tell\>) (say|says|tells you), \"!.*\"$

then after that is added to the all make the capture

Code: Select all

ChatCap  (^(\[[A-z]+?\] |).*\<Tell:IIDString:.+:((?<tellchar>[^\<]*))\>.+\<\\Tell\>) (say|says|tells you), \"!(?<telltextone>.*) use (?<telltexttwo>.*)\"$

now this capture will only work for issuing a command for 1 character to use a specific item, npc or other named object. it will save 3 separate capturegroups when issued the command above, which will be equal to

getvar[capturegroup_tellchar]==Bdf

getvar[capturegroup_telltextone]==Dweia

getvar[capturegroup_telltexttwo]==Burning Coal

then in a separate rule in the condition compare the newly made variable with getcharstringprop[1] to make sure it matches the issued characters name so only the commanded character will use the item

Code: Select all

Expr getcharstringprop[1]==getvar[capturegroup_telltextone]

only Dweia in our example would trigger off the above condition and then go through with the action below

Code: Select all

ExprAct actiontryuseitem[wobjectfindininventorybynamerx[getvar[capturegroup_telltexttwo]]];clearvar[capturegroup_telltexttwo];clearvar[capturegroup_telltextone];clearvar[capturegroup_tellchar]

this will both execute the command then clear all of the captured variables.

Edit: fixed ChatCap condition regex

[SomeRandomGuy12]

I will have a go and see what I can come up with. This addition (and more importantly, your elaboration!) is just phenomenal!

Now I just have to try and refrain myself from trying to make all sorts of crazy stuff.

Thank you!!
