| Hi there, new to lua and I am trying to learn some things so i can build more advanced scripts in the future.
I am trying to use a variable in a trigger, and also in a script that send to the mud all from within a plugin.
Pastebin is here:
http://pastebin.com/m3a86d453
Line 27 I attempt to declare a global
Line 52 I attempt to use it in a trigger
The script section starting at line 98 works perfectly. What am I doing wrong for the Trigger section?
Heres the code for those who dont want to clicky pastebin:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE muclient>
<!-- Saved on Monday, July 27, 2009, 8:13 PM -->
<!-- MuClient version 4.40 -->

end
end -- repair

| I assume this is the troubling line:
match="^Sybian's (.*?) against (.*?) (repairobject).$|^Sybian's (.*?) puts a dent in (.*?) (repairobject).$|^Sybian's (.*?) into (.*?) (repairobject)(.*?)$|^Sybian's (.*?) scuffs (.*?) (repairobject)(.*?)$"
First, I would be a little cautious about the brackets. I may be wrong, but I would parenthesize the various things you are checking, like this:
match="(^Sybian's (.*?) against (.*?) (repairobject).$)|(^Sybian's (.*?) puts a dent in (.*?) (repairobject).$)|(^Sybian's (.*?) into (.*?) (repairobject)(.*?)$)|(^Sybian's (.*?) scuffs (.*?) (repairobject)(.*?))$"
The much bigger problem here though, is you are confusing script variables with MUSHclient internal variables, which in any case you haven't asked it to use.
To simplify, I will look at a single branch of your match, eg.
match="^Sybian's (.*?) against (.*?) (repairobject).$"
This is going to match "repairobject" not what that variable expands to. You need to put a @ in front of it, like this:
match="^Sybian's (.*?) against (.*?) (@repairobject).$"
Then, you need to tell it to expand variables, by checking the "expand variables" checkbox.
If you had done that, I would have seen:
... in your trigger definition.
Next, a MUSHclient variable is not a Lua variable.
So, you might change:
local repairobject
repairobject = "television"
to:
local repairobject
repairobject = "television"
SetVariable ("repairobject", repairobject)
Now the MUSHclient variable "repairobject" is going to have "television" in it. Now the trigger will expand @repairobject to "television" and things will start to work.
