Re: showColor() Question

Thank you for the response! That was exactly what I needed. I suspect you're right about removing the name, I might revisit that later. Here is the very slightly modified script for anyone who might want to use it. -- internal sorting function, sorts first by hue, then luminosity, then value local s...

showColor() Question

Hello Folks, I'm trying to create a menu where I can set the default color for objects and items to appear. I'd like to use something like showColor() but with raising an event with the choice or using some similar message to skip the step of entering the color after clicking on it. Does something l...

Re: Generic Mapping Script

Hello Folks, I've been finding it fairly challenging to for to get the mapper to recognize what room I am in. I frequently move between map rooms and find that the mapper doesn't move at all. I was hoping to get some advice on where my trouble might be stemming from. And perhaps if there are any wor...

Re: Mudlet Control Across Different Profile

Hello Beckham, I'm fairly new to Mudlet, but I do have a solution that is a bit of a workaround for this. local updateStatus = "recoverStart" or {} expandAlias(updateStatus) raiseGlobalEvent("sysSendAllProfiles", updateStatus) If you use this in one profile you can create an alia...

How to confirm an item is not in a database

Hello Folks, I've been struggling for a couple hours with attempting to check verify that a value in a database does not exist. I suspected that db:is_nil would be the function I need.

I'd like to echo item IDs on the screen whenever an item is visible. Is this going to cause performance issues? I am not considering c...

Re: Empty Database File

Thank you again Vadi, it looks like I'm a bit slow on the uptake on this one, sorry! I need to do some more reading about relational databases to fully understand what can and cannot be done. Thank you for taking the time to set me straight.

Re: Empty Database File

Thank you Vadi! I've got the database mostly working now. I'm still not sure how I'm going to get the effect table field to work. The idea is to add 1-10 effects with a type and a value field. Do you have any advice on the matter?
