The reason both would be run is because what you have is a nested if statement. Properly formatted, it would be this: function cure_herbs() if canfocus() then cureherbsfocus() if canfocus() == false and system.mechanics.focusing == false then cureherbsnofocus() end end end Basically, you would never...

Comments at the end of blocks can be handy, but a better solution is to avoid large blocks as much as possible. Break up large, potentially confusing blocks of code into smaller, easier to handle functions. This helps promote code reuse as well reducing unnecessary code complexity. Often, if I can i...

I firmly agree with the argument that code should be written for future readers. Numerous studies prove that code is read more than it is written; this can be seen even in the act of sharing scripts here. Therefore, I do believe that variable name need to be descriptive. Descriptive names aren't nec...

Again, it's about escaping special Regex characters. In this new case, you need to escape the ()'s. So, it will be \(PET\). Also, ?: and ? are special characters. The ?: at the beginning of a capture group makes it a non-capture group. It's used to group things in parentheses without returning the r...

Oh, snap. Thanks. Typing that out on my cell was a pain. Heh. Thanks for catching that.

This not a Mudlet issue, but a Regex issue. In your pattern, you need to escape the brackets. They have special meaning in Regex patterns. Like so: ^\(?:[(\w+) (\d+)%\])?<(\d+)/(\d+)hp (\d+)/(\d+)m (\d+)/(\d+)mv (\d+)e>\[(\w+)\] I don't know what matches will be. Use display() to work it out. This w...

I'm stuck using my phone, so I can't go into a lot of depth. The gray box is usually a result of a missing image or malformed stylesheet. I've personally had problems with image formats like .jpeg on Windows, but I can't give you anything definitive. Check file paths and the like. If there's a bug i...

In order to see the last element of a table, you would index into it like so: local lastValue = tbl[#tbl] Therefore, you can easily see that in order to get the second-to-last value, you should do this: local secondToLastValue = tbl[#tbl - 1] The # symbol gets you the length of a table. Because Lua ...

This is a pretty standard alias I use: Obviously, change the .+ to whatever you need. This way, matches[2] does not contain the space.

I dropped this code into an alias exactly as shown here, and it works as expected. Are you getting errors? Are you looking at said errors? echo("Starting HTML test...\n") createLabel("htmlTest", 50, 50, 100, 100, 1) setBgColor("htmlTest", 50, 50, 50) echo("htmlTest...
