Help with a Targeting script

Demartel

I am trying to make my target caller only call the room and area if the target is actually in the room. It doesn't work as hoped though.


target = string.title(matches[2])

local roomnum = gmcp.Room.Info.num

local roomname = gmcp.Room.Info.name

local roomarea = gmcp.Room.Info.area

for k,v in pairs(gmcp.Room.Players) do

if k == target then

mm.cc("Targeting: " .. target.." - I'm currently located at "..roomname.." in "..roomarea.." ("..roomnum..")", false)

else

mm.cc("Targeting: " .. target, false)

end -- if

end -- for

It may help if you share what client / system you're using. I wish I could help, but from the looks of it, you're using .. Mudlet and .. maybe m&mf?

If you are using Mudlet, I'd suggest going to Mudlet's forums and asking for help there. You might have a better chance of getting the advice you want more quickly there. Like I said, I wish I could help but I'm shit at Mudlet Best of luck!

What does it do instead of what you want it to do?

It just defaulted to the not in room else statement.
I got it working though. I just added a variable to the For statement and then checked that Variable for the actual callout.
To be honest if it wasn't for @Tarkenton's gui I probably would not have figured it out. My work around is probably not the most elegant, but it works.

for k,v in pairs(gmcp.Room.Players) do

if target == gmcp.Room.Players[k].name then

targetHere = true

end -- end if

end -- end for

if targetHere == true then

mm.cc("Targeting: " .. target.." - I'm currently located at "..roomname.." in "..roomarea.." ("..roomnum..")", false)

else

mm.cc("Targeting: " .. target, false)

end -- if

Try this

target = string.title(matches[2])

local roomnum = gmcp.Room.Info.num

local roomname = gmcp.Room.Info.name

local roomarea = gmcp.Room.Info.area

local playerinroom = false

for k,v in pairs(gmcp.Room.Players) do

if v["name"] == target then

playerinroom = true

end -- if

end -- for

if playerinroom then

mm.cc("Targeting: " .. target.." - I'm currently located at "..roomname.." in "..roomarea.." ("..roomnum..")", false)

else

mm.cc("Targeting: " .. target, false)

end

Yay, I helped indirectly!
