Regex problem for dmg

[noblestone]

Your attack strikes a pet devil 3 times, with **EVISCERATING** intensity!

Your attack strikes an Unseelie 1 time, with *MAIMING* intensity!

Now to pick up only damage to feed in the damage counter script I have...

I did this...

^Your attack strikes a (.*) (\d+) times, with (.*) (.*)!
^Your attack strikes an (.*) (\d+) time, with (.*) (.*)!

CritCounter:AddCrit(matches[4])

Why wasnt it feeding the damage into my script?

Well, you can cover that with just one pattern, FYI:

^Your attack strikes a[n]? (.*) (\d+) time[s]?, with (.*) (.*)!

As for why, have you checked to see what is actually matching in your pattern? Try putting display(matches) before you add it to the crit counter, to see if you are capturing what you expect to capture.

That improved a lot, however theres mobs which comes with 3 words like nightmarish sea serpent, it wont fire, or 2 words. Any idea how to fix that one? Thanks

same method will work
[s]?

[Jor'Mox]

^Your attack[s]? strike[s]? a[n]? (.*) (\d+) time[s]?, with (.*) (.*)!

That should work.

[noblestone]
