Could someone please tell me how I can set something up so that if an enemy of mine enters my demesne, they'll be able to tell a specific clan that I have this Trigger set to send to? I've got little variables for all my enemies, now I just need a way to have the code recognise JUST them when they enter/leave my demesne. If you could help, that'd be wonderful!

Anyone? I know you're hiding!

Don't know anything about making triggers really, just wanted to say Happy Birthday! confetti.gif
Unknown2006-08-23 19:41:43
Yeah, happy birthday! laugh.gif
Unknown2006-08-24 00:21:46
Pfff. I made a thread for that! tongue.gif

You know what would be a great birthday present? Terentia appearing out of no where and giving me a hug! That'd be great! With EVERYONE there to witness and attest that it actualy happened!

Does sound nice.

Heh. I got zapped by sending her a tell with the message: -hug- in it. Then she announced over the OT that I can't hug her. It was quite funny! I know you're listening, Terentia! HUG MEH!

Trigger:

Soll enters your demesne.

Command

Clt Soll entered my demesne!

-or-

Clan Switch
Clt Soll entered my demesne!

(for cases where you switch to other clans)

I find this trick extremely useful in defense. I remembered using this against Pentu back in the Faethorn wars. I normally demesne and guard backwards avenue (the place just outside Glomdoring's archway in Ethereal). She's just so slippery that I made a custom trigger just for her. Everytime she goes in I would raise cudgel raising her up in the trees where a fellow moondancer preprared various hexes to stop her. Just cudgel cudgel and poof! biggrin.gif

Did this twice I think then she stopped raiding for a while. Or at least when I'm there. dunno.gif

You can just use clt# in order to talk on a specific clan - no need to switch over.

So clt(clan number) (message), not clan switch (clan number), clt (message).

Oh.. I didnt know that! New things you learn everyday. cool.gif
Reiha2006-08-25 19:12:54
I want to have this demesne warning, too, but I don't want to have to make a trigger for every single person, and I also want the ability to switch this on and off. Been trying to figure it out myself, getting nowhere so far since when I do get the chance to work on it - Raizan's usually popping in and out of Nil or killing Earth Lords *tsk tsk*

I dont know how to code it specificaly but I can give help on what to code I belive it should go like this
CODE
has entered your demense
           If ==
                   clt has entered my demense help help
           if <>(means not equal) end trigger
Something like that

You will need to make it read off of your enemies so that would mean probably making a string variable to add people to a special enemy list along with them being enemied in the game...

Then just do something simple off of... %1 has entered your demesne (or whatever it says for the line)
#if (%1=@enemy_list) {clt# Blah blah blah}

I am not sure if it would understand just one name from the list but that is the best guess I have.
Minerva2006-08-25 20:40:11
Illy bad bad bad he is using ALC tongue.gif or is it mush now. Well either one isnt the same as zmud. tongue.gif
Ildaudid2006-08-25 22:19:28
Get Zmud then. tongue.gif
Minerva2006-08-25 22:46:17
Is that your solution to everything?

Actualy... his works for ALC, and yes, it's ALC. MUSH is too confusing for me! tongue.gif

Ohh. Also, make an alias to turn it off and on, then, in the trigger script, have something like:

CODE
#if (whatever the variable is that represents the demesne warning thingy) = 1 {bla}


Easy!

No, you do not get a hug.

You do not pass the Portal of Fate, you do not collect 2000 gold.

Haha no hug for Ysuran
