i dont get the "liking to keep to standards" comment though.. perl/regex are hardly "standard"

My comment refers to the definition of a custom scripting language - which is even further from convention than adopting a known language. I realize that the motivation is to create a dumbed-down language because we are dealing with non-programmer types, although it is hard for me to empathize with that rationale.

With that said, if I can figure out most all of the major programming / scripting languages, I'm sure that I can learn yet another (MQ2-scripting) language especially when the source is provided when I need to reverse-engineer capabilities.

Carry on - just explaining my perspective - don't change a thing on my behalf. As I said, I'm not doing the work - and the work you are doing is solid and I do appreciate it.

Lax, I must say, you fucking own.

Not sure if there's anything else to add.

EQJoe, couldn't you have just done /target by ID then compare your target's id with the one you just targeted instead of clearing your target then checking if you had one?

This new event thing looks really nice. Should make a bunch of things much easier. Can't wait for it to go live, and keep up the nice work Lax

EQJoe, couldn't you have just done /target by ID then compare your target's id with the one you just targeted instead of clearing your target then checking if you had one?

Couldn't you just do something like

Code: Select all

/if ( !${Spawn[${mobID}].ID} ) {
 stuff
}

I have got to be doing something wrong.... the following is a code snippet of what I am trying to do... The problem is the variable ${SpellName} (which should be the #1#) does not get filled in. If I declare it, the result for that variable is "" and if I don't, its NULL. The variable "Line" is results in the entire line if NOT declared and NULL if i do declare it.

Perhaps I am simply setting up my event line wrong?

an exampe cast would be "You begin casting Howl of Tashan." and I would hope to capture "Howl of Tashan" as #1# (or ${SpellName}). Wtf am I doing wrong? :0

The #Event Line:

Code: Select all

#event BeginCast "You begin casting #1#."

The Event:

Code: Select all

Sub Event_BeginCast(string Line, string SpellName)
/echo ${Line}
/echo ${SpellName}
/echo ${SpellsToAnnounce}
/if (${String["${SpellsToAnnounce}"].Compare["${SpellName}"]}) {
  /if (${UseChat1}==1) /${Chat1} ${SpellName} on [ %t ]!
  /if (${UseChat2}==1) /${Chat2} ${SpellName} on [ %t ]!
  /if (${UseChat3}==1) /${Chat3} ${SpellName} on [ %t ]!
}
/return

I'll double check it, your syntax looks like it should be fine.

Thanks :)

ok figured it out. The problem is (drumroll) the space after the comma!
I'll mess with it some and make sure that isnt a problem anymore.

Code: Select all

Sub Event_BeginCast(string Line,string SpellName)

Ha, so easy :)

Now I just gotta get my string compare working. Is there a "String[].Contains[]?

Lax · Post by **Lax** » Thu May 13, 2004 1:19 am

close. string.Find[whatever]

ok next zip

Code: Select all

#event MyEvent "[MQ2] love #1# and #2#"

sub Main
:Loop
/doevents
/delay 1
/goto :Loop
/return

sub Event_MyEvent(string Line, string One, string Two)
/echo - MyEvent - Line='${Line}'
/echo - MyEvent - One='${One}'
/echo - MyEvent - Two='${Two}'
/return

test:

Code: Select all

/mac <macro>
/echo love tits and ass

output:

Code: Select all

[MQ2] - MyEvent - Line='[MQ2] love tits and ass'
[MQ2] - MyEvent - One='tits'
[MQ2] - MyEvent - Two='ass'

leading spaces should be fine in function parameter declarations

I only see one problem with this example.

It gave me the urge to touch myself.
