Re: 2.0 snapshots

I have a quick, unrelated question about the 2.0 snapshot. Concerning the IRC client baked in, is there a way to change my name, instead of being known as Mudlet8675309? This could be an IRC-specific question (to which I know next to nothing about).

Re: [I Need Help] Using Events with Functions Found in Table

Well damn, that's no fun! Thanks a ton, Heiko and Vadi. I'll just distinguish functions with a prefix, so not a big deal!

Re: [I Need Help] Using Events with Functions Found in Table

Okay, now this isn't working properly... I added an event onPrompt to my dragonfly:cureAffliction() function, so I don't have to call it directly on the prompt. When I open up the Errors screen, I get the (amazingly unhelpful) error of: [ERROR:] object:<event handler function> function:<cureAfflicti...

Re: Using Events with Functions Found in Tables

Nevermind, I figured it out for myself. It should, in fact, be called fireTurret, and not aethercraft:fireTurret!

[I Need Help] Using Events with Functions Found in Tables

If I'm going to be using an Event, say... "onAetherBalance" on a function called aethercraft:fireTurret(), would I name the Script aethercraft:fireTurret() or fireTurret()?

Re: How do I specify a variable?

It's just by the way Lua works and is designed. All wildcards are found using the Perl RegExp engine, with which there's a ton of documentation about. It's a bit more robust than Zugg's implimentation of wildcards, in that it can handle more things, faster. When you learn the secrets of discerning R...

Re: How do I specify a variable?

This sort of thing is pretty easy. I'm guessing your example is a trigger, so I would make a new trigger to look like: (\w+) says\: "Iceshield." From there, you make a variable from the regex wildcard by doing: local person = matches[2] (Notice that I used local. If you're only going to be...

Re: Curing

Another option that you have in keeping afflictions ordered is to use the phpTable() function. By default, Lua does not keep the order in key/value tables, unless the key is a number. Therefor, you can cut down on the number of table you have by storing the cure balances in order, along with the aff...
