Capturing Lusternian assess lines

[tarkenton]

Hey all, I'm messing with capturing the output from assess in Lusternia to display in a miniwindow. I actually have it working how I want it to (assess, capture the lines and their contents w/a gate, delete the lines, update the window when we close the gate). However, I am having an issue with capturing bleeding damage. To be more specific, the bleeding damage line is not displayed if the target isn't bleeding. Not a huge deal, except my window doesn't update the bleeding damage to zero or anything because there wasn't a value for it to ever capture. The input for the triggers and such looks like this

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

You glance over Foo and see that his health is at 9665/10056.
You assess the bodily wounds as follows:
* Head has no wounds.
* Chest has no wounds.
* Gut has no wounds.
* Left arm has no wounds.
* Right arm has no wounds.
* Left leg has no wounds.
* Right leg has no wounds.

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

You glance over Foo and see that his health is at 9439/10056.
He is bleeding for 10 health.
You assess the bodily wounds as follows:
* Head has no wounds.
* Chest has no wounds.
* Gut has no wounds.
* Left arm has no wounds.
* Right arm has no wounds.
* Left leg has no wounds.
* Right leg has no wounds.

Is there a tricky way to get the variable to update when the line is never displayed? I could just update it to zero if the values are identical (which is unlikely to happen between assesses) but that's inelegant at best imo.

You could update it to zero at the start of the gate, and then set it to something if you see the line.
