m&m system & questions thread

Halse

I am trying to create an AI offense was wondering what is used in the system to track enemy afflictions or if I need to code that? Like an example... mm.enemyaffs.paralized or whatever.

Thanks

Enyalida

I don't think anything is used to track enemy afflictions, because it's pretty darn hard to track afflictions like that in Lusternia. Many cure methods give no third person message, and those that do still cure random afflictions from their list (with some exceptions).

Ok, so for some reason my QQ trigger just isn't working; I've thrown all sorts of debug echos into it and what I've determined is the m&m QQ trigger simply isn't firing. I went into the Errors panel and found this: 

[ERROR:] object:<QQ> function:<Trigger1138>

         <m&m:13522: attempt to index global 'ndb' (a nil value)>

So how can I fix this? Everything else seems to work okay so far.

Shaddus

Do you have GMCP enabled?

Rialorm

Did you install every xml, not just the one that says import me? ndb is the samespace for NameDB, the name highlighter module that comes bundled with m&m. It seems that this is somehow nil, which makes me think you might not have it at all. Which does surprise me because it is like the best thing ever and if that is the case you are seriously missing out.

Ileein

Huh, I'm fairly certain I did install everything! I've been experiencing a lot of problems, though, so I've been uninstalling and reinstalling things, which may have created more problems. What I'm doing now is just completely uninstalling Mudlet and rebuilding from the ground up. We'll see if that helps.

Vadi

Wait wait, you install the zip, not the xmls invidiually.

Halse

So just did an update that came through and now it won't install at all...

I had that for the last update. I uninstalled everything from the package manager and then manually downloaded the latest version and installed it. That resolved it quite nicely.

Halse

How do you manually download?

Rialorm

When you bought the system, you should have received an email with the download link. If you no longer have that, I'd contact Vadi and he can tell you what it is.

Halse

Thanks @Rialorm‌

Halse

Still won't load...hmm

Tarkenton

You loaded the entire package via zip file, yeah?  Not unzipping it or anything?

Halse

Yep

Halse

When I go to toolbox > package manager > install > select the file...all it does is say unpackaging and then stops...

Tarkenton

Odd...try it with a new profile?  If that doesn't work, I'd back up your current profile(s), uninstall and reinstall mudlet, then try again.

Halse

Works on new profile

Out of curiosity, I recently learned Stratagem in Combat, and turned on the option for m&m to use them. I haven't immediately noticed any changes; how does m&m use stratagems,  if the option is enabled?

Hi! I'm trying to add my target before the custom prompt. Here's what I currently have:

I added this to my targetting alias:

-- define a custom tag that displays the value of a variable, 'target'
mm.adddefinition("@target", "target")

so, my alias currently has this:

target = string.title(matches[2])

cecho("\n\n\n<yellow:black> TARGET: " .. target.. " \n\n\n")

resettraxxer()

mm.adddefinition("@target", "target")

Here's my current prompt: 

[@target] ^r@health|^1@%health%, ^c@mana|^2@%mana%, ^g@ego|^3@%ego% 

But it currently returns:  

 [nil] 4810|100%, 6300|100%, 7200|109%   

even after declaring a target. 

I'm not terribly bright when it comes to coding, so help, please!

Rialorm

Line doesn't belong in your target alias, it should be in a trigger that fires on login or in a script that runs when the client starts. It only needs to be set once, but it does need to be set each time the client restarts as they are not saved like actual configuration options. 

Siam

Thanks!

Just for the do system - doesn't use it much otherwise, haven't thought of a good way to make it all work, 

Gregori

Can someone point out what I am doing wrong here? It just tries to discern regardless.


function mycrap.discern(whom)

if not mm.bals.balance or mm.bals.equilibrium then mm.dofirst(send("discern ".. whom)) return end

send("discern ".. whom)

end

Lerad

I think you forgot an else in there. Not 100% sure, but slot it before your second send and give it another try.

Ushaara

Think you're missing another 'not'. So:

if not mm.bals.balance or not mm.bals.equilibrium then..

Belibi

@gregori

if not mm.bals.balance or mm.bals.equilibrium 

should be

if not ( mm.bals.balance and mm.bals.equilibrium )

or 

if not mm.bals.balance or not mm.bals.equilibrium

So, one thing I wouldn't mind being able to see is an echo for essence changes, like the existing ones for health/mana/ego changes. Is that something I could add relatively easily on top of the existing framework?

Zouviqil

gmcp.Char.Vitals.essence is a variable that will give you your current essence as a string. You can set a variable to this, as a number. So like, myessence = tonumber(gmcp.Char.Vitals.essence)

Then what you do is, you keep track of what would give you essence. Influencing completing, killing something. Put them all under the same trigger. When it occurs... you have to call it as an echo somehow to be on the same line as the prompt using the existing framework that I don't know of. But the number you want would be gotten like so:

cecho(tonumber(gmcp.Char.Vitals.essence) - myessence)

myessence = tonumber(gmcp.Char.Vitals.essence)

Far from perfect advice, but I hope it helps, @Ileein

Recently got m&m and am having problems putting my defenses up. I have used mmshow defup to set up my defenses and this happens:

Just set to a few of the cosmic defences there to provide an example.

This becomes a real problem if I add kafe to the defences to be set up.

I have stripped all of my defs as well (except nimbus, which won't go away) so that having them up already does not interfere.

Before starting this, I have also ensured that I only have 10 kafe in my rift.

If I try this with more defs, it continues eating kafe until they are all finished - it also continues to try it if I run out of kafe while it is still doing the other defs.

Does anyone here have any idea what is going on here/how to fix it?

I do have GMCP enabled and have tried reinstalling both m&m and mudlet already.
