Hehe i'm doing some very basic zMUD triggers to help me work out spheres from a nativity.
Anyone know how to make the trigger compensate for a Retrograde?

Saran2006-01-21 01:50:13
Ok umn is there anyway to i dunno? make triggers fire in a set order?
Narsrim2006-01-21 01:52:19
Given how rare retrograde is, I don't think anyone bothers. Just cure off diagnose.
Saran2006-01-21 02:04:10
Oh it's not for curing. It's for working them out with a stargaze, so far when i stargaze triggers fire telling me the good or bad effects of each planet.
But if a planet is retrograde or in burning censer or twin crystals the trigger fails

I think he's coming from the position of firing rays at people.
But as Narsrim says, retrograde occurs so rarely there isn't much point. When it DOES happen you'll definitely remember it (especially since at this point in the huuuuge cycle it only seems to affect skull, which Laysus and I estimated would last like 30 years given the 250-year figure in stellium
) so it's not worth accomodating for it in coding.
EDIT: Burning Censer and Twin Crystals are worth accomodating for, but I'm on Nexus so I couldn't give you the exact triggers. What I did was just avoid anchoring it (because stargaze output counts as one line, not the 7 it actually appears as, so readings were gathering up the whole next six lines >_<) and only go as far as "Burning" or "Twin" in the trigger pattern. Retrograde there's no point worrying about.

*gets a giant texta and underlines spheres*
hehe realised i said nativity in my first post i did mean stargaze.
If it were just the rays it would be fine. I did something like that for nativities.
The problem is that to work out spheres i need to read the line upto conjunct or whatever
right now the best trigger i've got is:
Sun in (%w) is (%w) (%w).
this is just so that it can Sub the line and add the effect to the end.

How 'bout something not at all basic?
Gimme half an hour to finish gateweaving and I'll post something shiney.

well if it's shiney how can i resist

This's what I use.
Enjoy.
Edit: Syntax to use, after stargazing, is SIGNCALC
I.e. SIGNCALC SKULL

Wow, I like that script. It's pretty much the same as mine, only difference is mine subs the actual STARGAZE lines. So I'd stargaze a sign and see something like "Strength in Twin Crystals is Minor Positive" instead of "Sun in Twin Crystals is semisextile Dolphin." Yours I like better though.
