ATCP demo scripts

[Ilithyia]

Alright, I called the function from an alias to see what debugging message I would get. I got the following message:

Code: Select all

 object:<ATCP Test> function:<Alias1>
         <[string "status = {}..."]:5: bad argument #1 to 'match' (string expected, got nil)>

So, I think that means that on the 5th line, it was expecting a value to put in the table status for the variable next_level and got nada.

This is the current incarnation of the script I tested:

Code: Select all

status = {}

function CharVitals(event, arg)
      local r = rex.new( "NL:(\\d+)/100 H:(\\d+)/(\\d+) M:(\\d+)/(\\d+) E:(\\d+)/(\\d+) P:(\\d+)/(\\d+) N:(\\d+)/(\\d+) W:(\\d+)/(\\d+)" )
      if r:match(arg) then
         status.next_level,
         status.current_health, status.max_health, 
         status.current_mana, status.max_mana, 
         status.current_ego, status.max_ego, 
         status.current_power, status.max_power, 
         status.current_endurance, status.max_endurance, 
         status.current_willpower, status.max_willpower = r:match( arg )
      end

end

This is what I get from display(atcp):

Code: Select all

table {
  'RoomEnvironment': 'road'
  'CharName': 'Ilithyia Ecclesiar Ilithyia Argentas'
  'RoomExits': 'e,s,u,in'
  'AuthRequest': 'CH dfpnshzbzghjptptgvmh'
  'CharVitals': 'NL:23/100 H:3156/3156 M:4860/4860 E:4632/4176 P:10/10 N:13320/13320 W:22440/22440 '
  'RoomBrief': 'Before the Syrinx Plaza Hotel (road)'
  'RoomFullExits': 'e(17087),s(1559),u(1557),in(10978)'
  'RoomCoordinates': '11,0,-7,0'
  'RoomNum': '1558'
}

Is something wrong with the regex? I'm still confused as to why it worked at all before.

I can see one issue. In your regex matching above, you're using doublebackslahes, i.e. "\\." You're basically telling your client not to look for a number, but instead any instance of "\d", which it's obviously not gonna find.

[Vadi]

nah, \\d is correct because you'd want lua to give \d+ to regex (otherwise, lua will use the \ for itself)

[Ilithyia]

According to the debugger, the problem is with the "if r:match(arg) then" line. It seems that nothing is matching. I don't understand why it wouldn't match? (Especially since it matched successfully before.)

Did anyone else try to run this script? If so, did it work for you guys?

[Alexander Divine]

nah, \\d is correct because you'd want lua to give \d+ to regex (otherwise, lua will use the \ for itself)

Slapping myself for that one.

[Vadi]

I don't see a problem. Try r:match(atcp.CharVitals) though

[Ilithyia]

That did the trick. Thanks, Vadi.

Alright, then. Now I'm back to my original issue before the failure-to-parse fiasco: still not autosipping. I still get this error message from the debugger whenever the function is called through the event handler:

Code: Select all

LUA: ERROR running script ATCP Sipper (ATCP Sipper) ERROR:

However, when I call the function from an alias, the debugger says it's fine.

Code: Select all

LUA OK script ATCP Test (Alias38) ran without errors

It's still parsing fine with each event, so it's something below my echo tests. This is the current incarnation of the script:

Code: Select all

status = {}

function CharVitals(event, arg)
      local r = rex.new( "NL:(\\d+)/100 H:(\\d+)/(\\d+) M:(\\d+)/(\\d+) E:(\\d+)/(\\d+) P:(\\d+)/(\\d+) N:(\\d+)/(\\d+) W:(\\d+)/(\\d+)" )
      if r:match(atcp.CharVitals) then
         status.next_level,
         status.current_health, status.max_health, 
         status.current_mana, status.max_mana, 
         status.current_ego, status.max_ego, 
         status.current_power, status.max_power, 
         status.current_endurance, status.max_endurance, 
         status.current_willpower, status.max_willpower = r:match(atcp.CharVitals)
      end

siphealth = tonumber(status.max_health*0.75)
sipmana = tonumber(status.max_mana*0.75)
sipego = tonumber(status.max_ego*0.75)
berryhealth = tonumber(status.max_health*0.50)
berrymana = tonumber(status.max_mana*0.50)

currenthealth = tonumber(status.current_health)
currentmana = tonumber(status.current_mana)
currentego = tonumber(status.current_ego)

display(status)

echo("\nsiphealth = " .. siphealth)
echo("\nsipmana = " .. sipmana)
echo("\nsipego = " .. sipego)
echo("\nberryhealth = " .. berryhealth)
echo("\nberrymana = " .. berrymana)

echo("\ncurrenthealth = " .. currenthealth)
echo("\ncurrentmana = " .. currentmana)
echo("\ncurrentego = " .. currentego)
echo("\n\nhealbalance = " .. healbalance)
echo("\nberrybalance = " .. berrybalance)

if healbalance == 1 then
      if currenthealth < siphealth then
            send("sip health")
            healbalance = 0.5
      elseif currentmana < sipmana then
            send("sip mana")
            healbalance = 0.5
      elseif currentego < sipego then
            send("sip bromides")
            healbalance = 0.5
      end
end

end

I appreciate all the help guys! I hope I'm not getting bothersome!

Error messages are not very informative so it's recommended to call the event handler directly to find out more about the error.

Can't look at your script at the moment, but what springs into my eyes is this:
"siphealth = tonumber(status.max_health*0.75)"

This should most likely be: "siphealth = tonumber(status.max_health) * 0.75"
As you cannot do arithmetic operations on a string value, you'll need to convert the string into a number first before doing your calculations.

[Ilithyia]

Ok, fixed the tonumber issue. Now the code looks like this:

Code: Select all

status = {}

function CharVitals(event, arg)
      local r = rex.new( "NL:(\\d+)/100 H:(\\d+)/(\\d+) M:(\\d+)/(\\d+) E:(\\d+)/(\\d+) P:(\\d+)/(\\d+) N:(\\d+)/(\\d+) W:(\\d+)/(\\d+)" )
      if r:match(atcp.CharVitals) then
         status.next_level,
         status.current_health, status.max_health, 
         status.current_mana, status.max_mana, 
         status.current_ego, status.max_ego, 
         status.current_power, status.max_power, 
         status.current_endurance, status.max_endurance, 
         status.current_willpower, status.max_willpower = r:match(atcp.CharVitals)
      end

siphealth = tonumber(status.max_health)*0.75
sipmana = tonumber(status.max_mana)*0.75
sipego = tonumber(status.max_ego)*0.75
berryhealth = tonumber(status.max_health)*0.50
berrymana = tonumber(status.max_mana)*0.50

currenthealth = tonumber(status.current_health)
currentmana = tonumber(status.current_mana)
currentego = tonumber(status.current_ego)

display(status)

echo("\nsiphealth = " .. siphealth)
echo("\nsipmana = " .. sipmana)
echo("\nsipego = " .. sipego)
echo("\nberryhealth = " .. berryhealth)
echo("\nberrymana = " .. berrymana)

echo("\ncurrenthealth = " .. currenthealth)
echo("\ncurrentmana = " .. currentmana)
echo("\ncurrentego = " .. currentego)
echo("\n\nhealbalance = " .. healbalance)
echo("\nberrybalance = " .. berrybalance)

if healbalance == 1 then
      if currenthealth < siphealth then
            send("sip health")
            healbalance = 0.5
      elseif currentmana < sipmana then
            send("sip mana")
            healbalance = 0.5
      elseif currentego < sipego then
            send("sip bromides")
            healbalance = 0.5
      end
end

end

Still getting error messages in the debugger everytime the function is called through the event handler. How do you call the event handler directly?
