How can i create a trigger for this string:


     a glossy lime scroll (new)

That appends the name of the spell that is scribed on that scroll just behind the word 'scroll' and in front of '(new)', thusly:


     a glossy lime scroll ARMOR (new)

I would like this effect to be in-line in the output window without messing with the lines default colors. As i have it now, i have made a simple trigger that just sends a note to the output window with the spell name but it is on the next line and becomes annoying.


A gnomish miner's bag contains:
     a glossy lime scroll (new)
           ARMOR
(  2) an unusual swamp flower
     a nightshade mushroom
     an ivory-yellow papyrus scroll (new)
           BLINDNESS
     a charcoal lambskin scroll (new)
           REVEAL
( 20) a blackjack voucher notated with a little '500' (new)
(  7) a copper-colored scroll (new)
           IDENTIFY

Any help is greatly appreciated.

edit: small grammar fix

Try This... It shows the concept, it compiles, but I didn't actually test it out. (Coded on faith!)



<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^(?: \([\s\d]+\))?\s+a ([\w\s-]+) scroll \(new\)$"
   omit_from_output="y"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="14"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>ScrollTypes = {
["glossy lime"] = "ARMOR",
["ivory-yellow papyrus"] = "BLINDNESS",
["charcoal lambskin"] = "REVEAL",
["copper-colored"] = "IDENTIFY",
}
if ScrollTypes["%1"] then
  ColourNote(TriggerStyleRuns[1].textcolour, TriggerStyleRuns[1].backcolour,
     "a %1 scroll " .. ScrollTypes["%1"] .. " (new)")
else
  ColourNote(TriggerStyleRuns[1].textcolour, TriggerStyleRuns[1].backcolour,
     "%0")
end</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

I changed the code a little to this:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^(?: \([\s\d]+\))?\s+([\w\s-]+) scroll \(new\)$"
   omit_from_output="y"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="14"
   sequence="100"
  >

<send>ScrollTypes = {
	["a glossy lime"] = "ARMOR",
	["an ivory-yellow papyrus"] = "BLINDNESS",
	["a charcoal lambskin"] = "REVEAL",
	["a copper-colored"] = "IDENTIFY",
	}

  if ScrollTypes["%1"] then
    ColourNote(TriggerStyleRuns[1].textcolour, TriggerStyleRuns[1].backcolour,
     "%0 " .. ScrollTypes["%1"])

  else
    ColourNote(TriggerStyleRuns[1].textcolour, TriggerStyleRuns[1].backcolour,
     "%0")
  end
</send>

  </trigger>
</triggers>

The placement is great but none of the original line colors come through. That would be excellent.

Give this a try. Written on faith, just like WillFa's.

	}
  for _,v in ipairs(TriggerStyleRuns) do
    ColourTell(v.textcolour, v.backcolour, v.text)
  end
  
  if ScrollTypes["%1"] then
    local last = TriggerStyleRuns[#TriggerStyleRuns]
    ColourNote(last.textcolour, last.backcolour, " " .. ScrollTypes["%1"])
  end
</send>

Same exact result. Trigger works and appends the spell name, but it's stuck in the normal world note color. none of the original comes through.

That's very odd. As you can probably tell, we're actually accessing the style runs the original line had.

Only thing that comes to mind is, make sure you delete old versions of the trigger before you import the new one.

well i placed the trigger code in it's own little plugin and deleted all the previous simple triggers i had. i even restarted MUSH. Am i supposed to have the code somewhere else?

I can see what's supposed to be happening and looked up the commands for clarification. It's just not working as advertised. I'm running version 4.43 if that matters.

That should probably work...

I don't remember any style-run changes from 4.43 on, but it's not out of the question...

One moment, I'm going to test this trigger out.

Looking into it, the trigger wasn't even matching. But I just realized a new problem. It'll be a bit.. complex to figure out how to "splice" some content into a line without throwing off the line styles. If we didn't have to worry about the line styles, we could have two more captures in the trigger - one for stuff before the insertion point, and one for stuff after it - and just Note it out. But we're relying on the styles list to re-print the line, and there's no shared context between it and the trigger matches.

If you're okay with the line being one solid color, that's very easy.

Also, I rewrote the match pattern. Seems to work fine now.

<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^((?:\(\s*\d+\))?\s*(.*?) scroll) (\(new\))$"
   omit_from_output="y"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="14"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>ScrollTypes = {
  ["a glossy lime"] = "ARMOR",
  ["an ivory-yellow papyrus"] = "BLINDNESS",
  ["a charcoal lambskin"] = "REVEAL",
  ["a copper-colored"] = "IDENTIFY",
}

if ScrollTypes["%2"] then
  ColourNote("white", "black", "%1 " .. ScrollTypes["%2"] .. " %3")
else
  for _,v in ipairs(TriggerStyleRuns) do
    ColourTell(RGBColourToName(v.textcolour), RGBColourToName(v.backcolour), v.text)
  end
  Note() -- finish the line
end</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

EDIT: Fixed an issue that was, in retrospect, a bit obvious: the textcolour and backcolor items are numbers in RGB format, but ColourTell only accepts color names. Fixed above.

made a couple changes thinking that it may make it easier with this format to keep the colors also changed the textcolour to match my main text colour in case an actual matching can't be worked out..


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^((?:\(\s*\d+\))?\s*(.*?) scroll) (\(new\))$"
   omit_from_output="y"
   regexp="y"

  ["a glossy lime"] = "ARMOR",
  ["an ivory-yellow papyrus"] = "BLINDNESS",
  ["a charcoal lambskin"] = "REVEAL",
  ["a copper-colored"] = "IDENTIFY",
}

if ScrollTypes["%2"] then
  ColourNote("silver", "black", "%1 " .. " %3    " .. ScrollTypes["%2"])
else
  for _,v in ipairs(TriggerStyleRuns) do
    ColourTell(RGBColourToName(v.textcolour), RGBColourToName(v.backcolour), v.text)
  end
  Note() -- finish the line
end</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

If it would make it easier to keep the styles by appending the spellname all the way to the end as in this example:


A gnomish miner's bag contains:
(  7) a copper-colored scroll  (new)    IDENTIFY
( 20) a blackjack voucher notated with a little '500' (new)
     a glossy lime scroll  (new)    ARMOR
(  2) an unusual swamp flower
     a nightshade mushroom
     an ivory-yellow papyrus scroll  (new)    BLINDNESS
     a charcoal lambskin scroll  (new)    REVEAL

Yeah, that makes it much easier:

<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^((?:\(\s*\d+\))?\s*(.*?)\s*scroll)\s*(\(new\))$"
   omit_from_output="y"

   sequence="100"

}

for _,v in ipairs(TriggerStyleRuns) do
  ColourTell(RGBColourToName(v.textcolour), RGBColourToName(v.backcolour), v.text)
end

if ScrollTypes["%2"] then
  ColourTell("silver", "black", "\t" .. ScrollTypes["%2"])
end

Note() -- finish the line</send>
  </trigger>

One last thing. I'm having trouble turning this string into regexp so that it also fires the scroll trigger.


AUCTION: Deacla has put a luminescent mother-of-pearl scroll up for auction. Minimum bid is 100 gp.

I've tried myself and can get it to install but it never fires. any help would be great.

Also how can i put both strings into one trigger so it says either fire on this or this.... or this potentially?

edit: this is what i have so far to show you the variable aspects of the string.


^AUCTION\:\s*(.*?)\s*has put(\s*(.*?)\s*scroll) up for auction\. Minimum bid is (.+) gp\.$

That regexp fired for me on your test string.

If you want to fire both, make sure they both have "keep evaluating" set.
