| I'm trying to make pull a script togther to report the xp I make per day.
Here is my code
xp_gained = xp_gained or {} -- make xp_gained table
day = os.date ("%A, %m %B %Y") -- Get todays date.
xp = %1 -- the xp gained (first wildcard)
-- add day entry if first day
xp_gained [day] = xp_gained [day] or { xp = 0 }
-- add xp to the days xp,
xp_gained [day].xp = xp_gained[day].xp + xp
%1 is set by the trigger.
You got * xp.
Unfortunatly on the trigger matching, I get...
Quote:
Run-time error
World: nw
Immediate execution
[string "Trigger: "]:11: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'xp' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
[string "Trigger: "]:11: in main chunk
Any ideas why.. I don't understand why xp is returning nil, when its being set by the trigger. | | Top |

| I resolved the addition of the xp with the following code.
xp_gained = xp_gained or {} -- make xp_gained table
day = os.date ("%A, %m %B %Y") -- Get todays date.
xp = %1 -- the xp gained (first wildcard)
-- add day entry if unique day.
xp_gained [day] = xp_gained [day] or { xp = 0 }
xp_gained [day].xp = xp_gained [day].xp + xp
Unfortunatly, I now have another issue.
/tprint (xp_gained)
gives me
Quote:
"Saturday, 08 August 2008":
"xp"=315
"Tuesday, 08 August 2008":
"xp"=0
"Friday, 08 August 2008":
"xp"=210
"Wednesday, 08 August 2008":
"xp"=0
For some reason when os.date time is called, %m never changes, is this an issue with lua, os.date time, windows 98 or mushclient? Any help would be greatly appreciated! | | Top |

| I resolved all the above issues with this
day = os.date ("%d")
year = os.date("%Y")
month = os.date("%m")
xp_gained = xp_gained or {} -- make xp_gained table
xp_gained[year] = xp_gained[year] or {};
xp_gained[year][month] = xp_gained[year][month] or {};
xp_gained[year][month][day] = xp_gained[year][month][day] or {};
xp = %1 -- the xp gained (first wildcard)
-- add day entry if unique day.
xp_gained [year][month][day].xp = xp_gained [year][month][day].xp or 0
xp_gained [year][month][day].xp = xp_gained [year][month][day].xp + xp
Unfortunatly, my experince with tables is lacking and I've no idea how to display this data in a usefull manner.
I'd like to be able to display the last 30 days results in
day/month/year - 1000XP Earned.
Format.
/tprint (xp_gained)
gives
Quote:
"2008":
"08":
"05":
"xp"=2205
links to helpfull resources, psuedo code or anything would help greatly!

%m is the month, so it never changes because it is still August.

Isn't that too complicated? You have lots of subtables here.
How about:
date = os.date ("%d-%m-%Y") -- eg. 06-08-2008
xp_gained [date] = (xp_gained [date] or 0) + xp
Now to print them:
for k, v in pairs (xp_gained) do
print (k, v) --> date, xp
end -- for

The logic behind the rather complex table, within a table, within a table. Was for easy indexing, unfortunatly, I had no clue how to re-aquire the data in a resnoable manner.
Your method works great Nick, Thanks!
I'll now just have to see about, how I can aqquire date-ranges etc, from alias input. | | Top |
