Kill counter - help needed

[noblestone]

Script:

if runXP == nil then
runXP = 0
end

if runKills == nil then
runKills = 0
end

xpStopWatch = createStopWatch()

Trigger:

You receive (.*) experience points.

runXP = runXP + matches[2]
runKills = runKills + 1

Aliases:

Start it -

startStopWatch(xpStopWatch)
runXp = 0
runKills = 0

Report -

send("em reports: " .. runXP .. " xp received over " .. runKills .. " mobs, taking " .. getStopWatchTime(xpStopWatch) / 60 .. " minutes for an average of " .. runXP / runKills .. " XP per mob at a rate of " .. runXP / (getStopWatchTime(xpStopWatch) / 60) .. " XP per minute.")

My question is why isn't it working at all, I have tried to find what went wrong. Anyone can figure it out, would appreciate help here. Thanks

Couple of things, really. First of all, rather than those initial if statements, try something like:

Code: Select all

runXP = runXP or 0

Where you have:

Code: Select all

runXP = runXP + matches[2]

is causing a problem. Because you are matching this against (.*), you are trying to math a string to a number. The error console will be telling you this

Simply change to:

Code: Select all

runXP = runXP + tonumber(matches[2])

Try with those changes. I suspect that might resolve your issue.

Made the changes, wont work at all, could I import files so u can take a look at it? Let me know.

Still getting this after changes:

Mocci reports: 0 xp received over 0 mobs, taking 0.27493333333333 minutes for an
average of nan XP per mob at a rate of 0 XP per minute.

Aye, took a look. On your trigger, rather than using a 'substring' type, try setting it to 'perl regex'

Let me know how that works out

[kevutian]

Here you go. Delete what you have, download and install this and let me know how things go.

Linky.

[noblestone]

Thanks so much, and am wondering what alias or script shall i add to set reset the counter - i suspect alias.

Thanks again!

Wondering how to fix the decimals, need it to be round off.

the report is 186014 XP of 286 monsters which took 96.433333333333
minutes with an average of 650.3986013986 XP per monster at a rate of
1928.9388178362 XP per minute.

Thanks

math.floor() should help with that.
