Sooo... in light of all the rogue Serenwilders dying and such, I'm just wondering if it's possible with Java to ignore certain people? Highly doubt it, but hey, it could be possible... maybe.


EDIT: WHOO! 100th post! My gosh, how -does- Shiri do it?

No it isn't.

And I just stay on here and post all day. And I've been here since day 1 of the forums, you since about half way through.

Psh. I'd say much less than half.

And drat on the java thing.

Oh...actually, more like 2/3, looking at the date in your thing. I forgot when it started.

And yeah. Don't use reflexes for that anyway. I just have the alias

res
cir
moondance resurgem &h

So when someone dies, cir will do mooncoven circle, then st h whoeverdied, then res. Easy.

(I find that easier than typing moondance resurgem whatshisname, since I sometimes type moondance wrong because it's a weird word to type. But that's just me.)

Java has no conditional logic. But is it possible to have multiple triggers that match the same text, and a priority for which one goes off first? If so, you might be able to do something like:

Elerial has been slain by the might of -> (do something harmless like an emote)


and then at the lowest priority, your trigger you have now.

I wonder if there isn't some other klugy way to do it.

No such thing as priorities in JAVA.

No, we really CAN'T do anything useful. It'd just do both. Which wouldn't help anything at all.

EDIT: And I can't be bothered to look up klugy at half two in the morning, and I'm going to bed soon, so if that changes the meaning of the post entirely, well, sue me or something.

Let's see. Can you store something in a variable, and then execute what's in the variable?

Uh...lemme give that one a few minutes.

EDIT: The JAVA explanation of variables is kinda confusing. In general I use my in-game aliases for targetting effects, such as wan (moondance waning &t), and the JAVA client for aliases like ye (invoke yellow) when I need to break the 100 limit. Blegh.

EDITEDIT: So I think it's POSSIBLE, just from the look of things, but it doesn't really make any sense the way they explain it.

So here's a possibility for a real nasty kluge that might work. Probably not, but you'll have to try it to find out.

Make a variable called "mdr" that contains the words "moondance resurgem".

Make the trigger from deathsense do "moondance circle" and then executes the mdr variable, instead of the command, along with the name parameter.

Make another trigger on each of the excluded names that sets the mdr variable to something harmless, like "frown".

Make another trigger on your prompt that sets mdr back to "moondance resurgem".

If this works, every time Elerial dies, mdr will be reset to frown, then you'll circle and then "frown Elerial", then the next prompt will reset mdr to "moondance resurgem". Every time someone else dies, you'll circle and then resurgem them.

This depends on the timing of the triggers, though, so it probably won't work. Hey, I'm trying.

Frown Elerial wouldn't work, but you could say something. Right, good idea! Can't be bothered with testing it though, I just do it manually and it works fine.

It might be less spammy (for others, that is) if you set the variable to do something harmless like "touch" or "compose" that will only be visible to you with no real side effect. You could even gag the message then.

No, no we couldn't gag the message then. Touch is good, compose might be useful in combat, heh. (Oh, wait, brother wolf, but...something.)

But no, we can't gag. Best I can do is highlight it to be pink, because for some stupid reason that makes it almost pitch black so I can't read it, so it's still spammy but at least I'm not subconsciously trying to read it anyway.

Yeah, those would be better, though I don't think a single frown per Elerial-death would be that spammy -- even Elerial doesn't die that often.

He might be during all this random-tentacle thing going on. And there's Richter & Kayde you gotta watch out for as well.

Even an army of tentacles won't cause enough deaths amongst the three of them to be as spammy as a single time Arix talks. If I've told you once, I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate!

Psh, fine. Although Arix has been quiet lately. (Or not here.)
