TriggerBoy Script

[bugayev]

Ok. I have my hub up and running (thanks again to everyone who helped with that) and I've installed the TriggerBoy script.

However, I want to edit it slightly so that it will trigger when i type, say -punch hub --> then displaying "bugayev punches hub".

I can get it to do this quite easily - I just added a new variable called [parm] which subsitutes everything EXCEPT the trigger word.

This is great.

BUT

How can I tell the script to only trigger if -punch appears at the start of a line:

so it works for "-punch hub"

but not for "to punch, type -punch followed by the name of the thing you want to hit."

(at the moment, it says "bugayev punches followed by the name of the thing you want to hit")

Can anyone shed any light on how I can do this?

Code: Select all

local punch = string.sub( msg, 1, 10 )
if punch == "-punch hub" then 
dchpp.sendToAll( "* "..client:getNick().." punches hub|" ) 
return dchpp.ACTION_STOP 
end

not looked at lua much, but i think this should do it

[yakko]

there's a Me.lua script on the DCH++ page that does IRC style /me commands. My hub users really like that one.

Ok, so I tried using the /me script instead. However, when I try and add any more commands, nothing gets parsed..

Any LUA/DCH++ gurus got any pointers that I may be missing?

Thanks

Could you post the script you made?

sorry, i completely forgot!

dchpp.loadLib( "math" )


function dchpp.clientMessage( client, msg ) 
   
   local user = client:getNick()
   local cmd = nil
   local parm = nil

   --substitutes for 3 letter commands
   
   local cmd = string.sub( msg, 1, 4 ) 
   
   if cmd == "+me " or cmd == "/me " then 
      dchpp.sendToAll( "* "..user.." "..string.sub( msg, 5 ).."|" ) 
      return dchpp.ACTION_STOP 
   end 

   --substitutes for 4 letter commands

   cmd = string.sub( msg, 1, 5 )
   parm = string.sub( msg, 5 )

   local answer
   local action

   if cmd == "-slap " or cmd == "+slap " then
      
      local numberOfOptions = 3

      action = {

      [1] answer = user.." slaps "..parm,
      [2] answer = user.." hits "..parm.." in the face with a rotting fish!",
      [3] answer = user.." spanks "..parm.."!",

      }

      local p = math.random(numberOfOptions)

      action[p]

      answer = user.." slaps "..parm

      dchpp.sendToAll( "* "..user.." slaps "..parm.."|" ) 
      return dchpp.ACTION_STOP 

   end
   
   if cmd == "-nuke " or cmd == "+nuke " then

      local numberOfOptions = 2

      action = {

      [1] answer = user.." authorises a nuclear strike against "..parm.." and launches missiles!",
      [2] answer = "Forces under the control of "..user.." find "..parm.." and carry out a deadly nuclear strike!",

      }

      local p = math.random(numberOfOptions)

      action[p]
   
   end


   
   
   --substitutes for 5 letter commands

      
   cmd = string.sub( msg, 1, 6 )
   parm = string.sub( msg, 6 )

   if cmd == "-punch " or cmd == "+punch " then

      local numberOfOptions = 2

      action = {

      [1] answer = user.." punches "..parm.." in the nose!",
      [2] answer = user.." punches "..parm.."!",
      }

      local p = math.random(numberOfOptions)

      action[p]

   end


      dchpp.sendToAll( "* "..answer.."|" ) 
      return dchpp.ACTION_STOP 


end

It's not the most efficient way of doing it, obviously. The script DOES work when i comment out everything after the /me, but doesnt work for any of the other conditions. I've tried it with /me commented out and other stuff active, but that doesn't work. I'm completely stumped.

   if cmd == "-slap " or cmd == "+slap " then
      
      local numberOfOptions = 3

      action = {

      [1] answer = user.." slaps "..parm,
      [2] answer = user.." hits "..parm.." in the face with a rotting fish!",
      [3] answer = user.." spanks "..parm.."!",

      }

      local p = math.random(numberOfOptions)

      action[p]

      answer = user.." slaps "..parm

      dchpp.sendToAll( "* "..user.." slaps "..parm.."|" ) 
      return dchpp.ACTION_STOP 

   end

I don't know what you're trying to do here, but that sure as hell looks like incorrect lua code to me. Try this:

Code: Select all

if cmd == "-slap " or cmd == "+slap " then

   local action = {
      user.." slaps "..parm,
      user.." hits "..parm.." in the face with a rotting fish!",
      user.." spanks "..parm.."!",
   }

   local p = math.random( table.getn(action) )

   dchpp.sendToAll( "* "..action[p].."|" ) 
   return dchpp.ACTION_STOP 
end

You'll need to make the rest look like this code as well, of course.

the /me script appends what the user adds so

Code: Select all

/me slaps everyone in the hub

would say

Code: Select all

*yakko slaps everyone in the hub

You don't need to add a bunch of stuff then...let the users get creative with it themselves.

Well, I tried substituting PseudoNymph's LUA for my own and there's still nothing. i even went so far as to put it into a new script, but nothing happened.

Is there some kind of restriction on the use of SendToAll which could be stopping the message from being sent?

Am I missing some critical piece of code?

This is really starting to frustrate me.

Yakko - my users do use /me for a lot of the stuff they do to each other! Its a great script, I just want to provide a few shortcuts and fun ones for them to have without having to type the full sentence. I managed to get it working under SDCH, but that was vbscript and I have to say I'm a lot better at that than LUA!

[FleetCmd]

cmd = string.sub( msg, 1, 5 )
parm = string.sub( msg, 5 )

local answer
local action

if cmd == "-slap " or cmd == "+slap " then

Your substring is only five characters long (string.sub: 1, 5), but in the if-then-condition, the "-slap " is 6... You should modify the cmd = ... lines to add one more character because of the spaces.

[bugayev]

brilliant!

unfortunately, it still doesnt work .

for some reason, every time i have more than one set of triggers, NONE of them work. If i comment everything except /me, then /me works.

[Sedulus]

Code: Select all

-- vim:ts=4:sw=4:noet

dchpp.loadLib( "math" )

local function oneOf( tbl ) return tbl[math.random( table.getn( tbl ) )] end

local Actions = {
    ["+me"] = function( nick, arg )
        return "* " .. nick .. " " .. arg
    end,
    ["/me"] = function( nick, arg )
        return "* " .. nick .. " " .. arg
    end,
    ["+slap"] = function( nick, arg )
        return oneOf( {
            "* " .. nick .. " slaps " .. arg,
            "* " .. nick .. " hits " .. arg .. " in the face with a rotten fish",
            "* " .. nick .. " spanks " .. arg,
        } )
    end,
}

function dchpp.clientMessage( client, msg )
    local ret,_,cmd,arg = string.find( msg, "^(%S+)%s+(.*)$" )
    if not ret then
        return
    end
    if Actions[cmd] then
        dchpp.sendToAll( Actions[cmd]( client:getNick(), arg ) .. "|" )
        return dchpp.ACTION_STOP
    end
end

Thanks Sedulus *bows down and worships*

That's done the trick nicely!

Thanks to everyone who helped me with this one - its greatly appreciated!
