Basically, I'm playing around with some variables trying to gather a decent-ish way to sort hexes. I've got this:

QUOTE
Your worms hex will last for another 473 seconds.
Your amnesia hex will last for another 474 seconds.
Your dizzy hex will last for another 475 seconds.
Your vapors hex will last for another 476 seconds.
Your masochism hex will last for another 477 seconds.
Your reckless hex will last for another 478 seconds.


At the moment that works fine, everything gets put in 'hexesdrawninlist' like:

Variable: hexesdrawninlist worms|amnesia|dizzy|vapors|masochism|reckless


But if I try:

QUOTE
Your worms hex will last for another 473 seconds.
Your worms hex will last for another 474 seconds.
Your worms hex will last for another 475 seconds.
Your worms hex will last for another 476 seconds.
Your worms hex will last for another 477 seconds.
Your worms hex will last for another 478 seconds.


It only goes: Variable: hexesdrawninlist worms

Is it possible to force the variable to take more than one 'worms', so that I get 'Variable: hexesdrawninlist worms|worms|worms|worms|worms|worms'
?

Thanks. smile.gif

I want to know too
Daganev2005-05-09 16:12:48
I know its possible becauese I did that once when I wasn't trying to... it was some sort of bug for me, but I can't remember what I did 'wrong'

Trigger it to do this: #VA hexesdrawninlist %additem(%1, @hexesdrawninlist)

%additem allows duplicates, #ADDITEM doesn't. Same with %delitem and #DELITEM.

dry.gif Couldn't have asked that when I was actually online *eyes all the hexes stuff he made*

Or you could just ask me for my system to manage hexes.

Tuek, could I grab your system to manage hexes?

That's what I use right there. The F-keys 1-12 and the Shift F-keys 1-10 is how I draw all my hexes. You can remove that if you prefer some other way to draw your hexes. The insert key checks the hexes in the room, and adds them to a list. Each successive press of the Insert key will toss the next drawn hex till they are all completely gone (or if it runs into a hex not present, or the target moves, etc), in which case it will restart, checking HEXES and tossing the first hex, then tossing each additional one after that. F-keys to draw, and just the Insert key to throw. Additionally, I use CTRL-numpad keys to push every hex in a room in one direction, which is the Hexdirections and Hexpush subclass.

Edit: Oh, and I recovered a bug recently, where in a very specific situation it can get stuck. Just use the HC alias to reset it. I also don't recommend shadowdancers use it in choke, due to the fact that it checks hexes to see what hexes are there. Instead you should use a more manual setup.

Edit 2: Some extra things removed that relate to my system only, and are specific to my set up.
