Room List

[spoofmanbob]

I would like to know how to display what enemies are all in the room with me. I see the data in gmcp.Char as a list i'm just not sure how to go about it. Anyone have any examples i can work off?

You just want to loop through the table and echo it somewhere. Something like this

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

demonnic.chat.windows["Me"]:clear()

if gmcp.char.permaff ~= nill then
	for i = 1, #gmcp.char.permaff do
		demonnic.chat:cecho("Me", "<green>(perm) "..gmcp.char.permaff[i].."\n")
	end --for
end --if

where demonnic.chat.windows["Me"] is where it echos
and gmcp.char.permaff would be your table of enemies

This is what I'm using currently but it doesn't stay up to date.

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

function roomTracker()

local t = {}
for k,v in pairs(gmcp.Char.Items.List.items) do
  table.insert(t, v.name)
	GUI.Box6:setFontSize(10)
end

GUI.Box6:echo(table.concat(t, "<br>"))
end

What do you have calling the function? You would need to call it whenever it changed, if you wanted it to stay up to date. So there would need to be a trigger or an event that called your function to refresh it when the list changed.

[spoofmanbob]

Which trigger(s) are required to keep the list up to date?

Do you have the function hooked up to an event handler for gmcp.Char.Items?

[phasma]

Yeah. You basically just need to write handler functions for gmcp.Char.Items.Add as well as for .Remove and .Update (The latter being the most troublesome).
