Hey Noc, I'm Simimi, also from Lusternia. Let me see if I can get this to work for myself and I'll see what I can do for you. It is best to use a regular expression for the prompt, this is the one I use for my prompt, along with that it does.


^(\d+)h, (\d+)m, (\d+)e, (\d+)p, (\d+)en, (\d+)w (e?l?r?x?k?d?b?p?s?S?i?)(\<\>)?\-$

The last little bit is for people with Cubixes, so dun worry about it. I'm going to play with this real quick and see what I can do because it is something I would like for my system also.

Here is some testing on it done in game... I added an ego block to the previous code. I'll try to make it into a plugin if you like, so it can be called by a script file instead of being in the trigger box itself.

Let me see if I can figure out what Nick said about calling the script function from the script.

Well I get an error when I put this information into a script file about syntax with the use of the '%'.


function mytrigger (name, line, wildcards, styles)

time_now = GetInfo (232) % 60
      
      for _, v in ipairs(styles) do
        ColourTell (RGBColourToName (v.textcolour), 
                    RGBColourToName (v.backcolour), 
                    v.text)  
      end

      ColourTell("silver", "", os.date("&lt;%%H:%%M:") .. string.format ("%%0.3f&gt; ", time_now))
      
      health = %1
      health_diff = nil

      if old_health and health ~= old_health then
        health_diff = health - old_health
      end

      old_health = health

      mana = %2
      mana_diff = nil

      if old_mana and mana ~= old_mana then
        mana_diff = mana - old_mana
      end

      old_mana = mana

      ego = %3
      ego_diff = nil

      if old_ego and ego ~= old_ego then
        ego_diff = ego - old_ego
      end

      old_ego = ego

      if health_diff or mana_diff or ego_diff then 
        if health_diff then
          ColourTell ("silver", "", "&lt;")
          local c
          if health_diff &lt; 0 then
            c = "salmon"
          else
            c = "lightgreen"
          end
          ColourTell (c, "", string.format ("%%+iH", health_diff))
          ColourTell ("silver", "", "&gt;")
        end
        if mana_diff then
          ColourTell ("silver", "", "&lt;")
          local c
          if mana_diff &lt; 0 then
            c = "salmon"
          else
            c = "lightgreen"
          end
          ColourTell (c, "", string.format ("%%+iM", mana_diff))
          ColourTell ("silver", "", "&gt;")
        end
        if ego_diff then
          ColourTell ("silver", "", "&lt;")
          local c
          if ego_diff &lt; 0 then
            c = "salmon"
          else
            c = "lightgreen"
          end
          ColourTell (c, "", string.format ("%%+iE", ego_diff))
          ColourTell ("silver", "", "&gt;")
        end
      end

      Note ("")
end

This causes an error on line 13 that reads;

[string "Script file"]:13: unexpected symbol near '%'

So the trigger can not make a call to the function.
