Limb targetting - Achaea

[Verthar]

Alrighty here we go, I'm attempting to set up aliases for breaking limbs as a monk in Achaea, I'll use my left leg one for the purpose of this question. I just honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. I attempt to put in the alias and it just simply doesn't work.

Pattern: ^ll$

send ("snk " .. target .. left)
send ("hfp " .. target .. left)
send ("hfp " .. target .. left)

[Vadi]

Code: Select all

send ("snk " .. target .. " left")
send ("hfp " .. target .. " left")
send ("hfp " .. target .. " left")

text goes into quotes, variables don't go into quotes, glue text with variables with two dots

[Knute]

Also, if you want a space between 2 variables, you have to chain that with the two dots as well.

I say that, because it's good to take note of the space after the snk and hfb and before left in the example provided.

Or, to make it easier to read (and debug) you can use string.format rather than the concatenation operator ("..")

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

send(string.format("snk %s left",target))
send(string.format("hfp %s left",target))
send(string.format("hfp %s left",target))

you can also use a function to alternate left and right

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

function atk(lr)
    send(string.format("snk %s %s",target,lr))
    send(string.format("hfp %s %s",target,lr))
    send(string.format("hfp %s %s",target,lr))
end

atk("left")

and finally, if you wanted to be able to pass any combo into the function...

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

function atk(atkList,lr)
    -- To make sure you have a target, and exit if you don't
    if not target then return false end

    for _,i in pairs(atkList) do
        send(string.format("%s %s %s",i,target,lr))
    end
end

atk({"snk","hfp","hfp"},"left")
