Okay, this is SERIOUSLY annoying me now. I -know- that once upon a time,

{w} has been slain by the might of a
mooncoven circle
moondance resurgem $1

type things worked, but now

You blah blah declare whatshisface
st t $1
order entourage attack $1

(with or out the second part) IS NOT WORKING. Can someone please help me here? It's totally doing my head in.

Okay, and now my Resurgem things aren't working either. angry.gif What's going on?
Soll2005-02-25 23:23:40
That's not working? Hrrm..I'm not a great java user, but as far as I can tell that'd be working if I'd done that. sad.gif

Hm, I have no clue. If anyone has any idea about the resurgem thing, I'd like to know too since I've been trying forever to find a way to work it.
Soll2005-02-26 08:40:54
I'll try to check it out, but you're sure that's how it's always been? Because now it's just confusing me...
Shiri2005-02-26 18:23:58
Yeah, I'm sure Soll, 'cause as I say the triggers worked BEFORE. THey just don't NOW. I can't for the life of me work out why.

Hm, you probably shouldn't have the "a" in the first line since it won't look like that if the victim dies to another person or one of those named denizens. It would be something like:

Vix has been slain by the might of .
Shiri2005-02-26 18:26:02
Yeah, okay, I typed that wrong. I didn't actually copypaste the triggers, just typed it from memory. I don't have an "a" in actuality.
Shiri2005-02-26 18:36:42
Okay, and now my Resurgem thing is working again and I have no idea.

And OKAY. NOW I know why the trigger wasn't working. I think it's impossible on JAVA. See, what I had was

You declare your intent to bear arms against {w}.
st t $1

Now, it doesn't like the {w} being -next- to anything, so it just died when it saw the ., and decided to trigger and DIRECTLY raise $1. Who, of course, doesn't exist.

Worse,

You declare your intent to bear arms against {w}
st t $1

makes it think that I want to target, for example, "Murphy." And, of course, there's no such person as "Murphy.". Only "Murphy". See the problem? So, I'll just have to either manually declare, do it the other, much more dangerous, way around, and declare whoever I'm targetting. Which is what I've been doing while I didn't know what was going on, and has produce some strange results:

IH
starsucker2478

st t 2478
Target t = 2478
You declare your intent to bear arms against Anya.

So, anyway, meh. I'll just end up getting suspect if I ever kill anyone (HAH!) that jumped me. But whatever!

I went through every number, via declaring until I found mine. tongue.gif

I'm number 868! Now to wait for the spam when all the declares wear off. fear.gif

Oh yay! It does work! Thanks!
