ok, i need some help with some math in a trigger.
the actual line is


You glance over Kaem and see that his health is at 310(1) of a possible 310(2).

(added in there)

i'm trying to find out a way to make the trigger do... lets say "kick kaem" when (1) is at 50% of (2). Does anyone know how i would be able to do this?

My computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kickboxing.

Something along these lines would do it:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="You glance over * and see that his health is at * of a possible *."
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

local target = "%1"
local health = %2
local max_health = %3

if health / max_health &lt;= 0.5 then
  Send ("kick " .. target)
end -- if

</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

ok, thats really good, i tried it out and realized i needed something else. is there a way to also make it trigger when it is below 50%, not just at 50%?

The one I gave above, once pasted using the instructions on the link, actually reads:


if health / max_health <= 0.5 then
  Send ("kick " .. target)
end -- if

That is, less than, or equal to 0.5 (50%).

I'm using this trigger: * condition stands at */* health and */* mana.

and the following script:

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="* condition stands at */* health and */* mana."
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>

local target = "%1"
local health = %2
local max_health = %3
local mana = %4
local_mana = %5

if health / max_health <= 0.5 then
Send ("incinerate " .. target)
end -- if

</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

And i keep on getting this:

Kalcova's condition stands at 361/361 health and 274/274 mana.
Compile error
World: Imperian
Immediate execution
[string "Trigger: "]:1: unexpected symbol near '<'

So what exactly do i need to fix?

What are you doing exactly? Did you paste all that into the Send box?

Can you show exactly your trigger?

For advice on how to copy aliases, timers or triggers from within MUSHclient, and paste them into a forum message, please see Copying XML.

What you pasted isn't a "script" it is an entire trigger.

Let's put it like this, this is what should be in the "send" box:


local target = "%1"
local health = %2
local max_health = %3
local mana = %4
local_mana = %5

if health / max_health <= 0.5 then
  Send ("incinerate " .. target)
end -- if
