@hempa Thanks so much! Just fyi though the function is string.rep() not string.repeat() at least in the latest dev version of Mudlet.
Glad to see it fixed, and that was my fault. Hempa was just going off what I posted as an example. I used string.rep() in my code, but for some reason used string.repeat() here.

@kaeus: of course, it's string.rep. I was just copying directly from the uploaded script and missed it

Don't want to create a new topic, but I've run into a new problem. I've modified the code a bit, and it still works but I wanted to add something else and cannot figure out how.
What I have now takes the original table (as discussed above) and turns it into another table that comes out looking like this:
Code: Select all
table {
'mana': 644
'caloric': '154'
'levitation': '47'
'mending': '61'
'mass': '197'
'health': 206
'frost': '164'
'speed': '199'
'immunity': '194'
'restoration': '197'
'venom': '162'
}
I then use the following to print it:
for ename, sips in pairs(elixers) do
echo(ename .. string.rep(" ",26 - #ename) .. sips .. "\n")
end
What I want to do is color it based on the number of sips left.
If sips >= 100 then color = green
elseif sips >=50 then color = yellow
else color = red
end
What I can't figure out is how to use either fg() or cecho() to make that happen. Every time I try the code stops after echoing the first element of the table. Any suggestions?

This snippet should do the trick for you:
for ename, sips in pairs(elixers) do
echo(string.format("%-26s",ename))
if sips >= 100 then fg("green")
elseif sips >= 50 then fg("yellow")
else fg("red")
end
echo(sips)
resetFormat()
end

Never mind found the problem. Your script had the same problem as mine, but it was caused by the fact that some of the numbers were strings and others were numbers. For some reason the problem wasn't showing up until I tried to color things.

Always, when adding the sips to the tables, make sure you put it in as a number if it is to be considered a number. tonumber(variable) will help you do that!

Has anyone compiled a package for an elixlist summary? I suck too much at Lua to make my own...

I do have a complete elixlist parser for achaea, however it stores data into my system in a way that prevents it from being a standalone solution (I have a full gear tracking system with database integration).
I could post the trigger when I get home tomorrow though.
