Simple question here...
What's the difference between something like this:
^blah( \\w+)?$
And this?
^blah (\\w+)?$
What's the difference between something like this:
^blah( \\w+)?$
And this?
^blah (\\w+)?$
The second will match blah_, the first will not (_ is a space). The second wont match 'blah' unless you have a space after it, which is usually undesirable. Also, its possible the pattern stored will have a space at the front for the first one, but I'm not sure.
QUOTE (Shou @ Aug 16 2010, 05:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
And is it better to use (\\w+)? or (.*) - ? (question mark not intended to be part of pattern)
I would use the first one. The second one is kind of vague, and more specific is usually better.

Oh and another one, what's wrong with this?
I get an error that it's expecting an 'end' near line 1.

You need an 'end' before your 'else'

Oooo thank you! I don't understand the concept of general and vague in lua... but I guess, '.' stands for anything, and 'w' is just for characters, so I guess that makes sense.

That works, but you could model the first section like the second section and do if ___ then ___ elseif ___ then ___ end.
Alternatively, you could do
CODE
if matches == "f" then
  tar = friend
else
  tar = "me"
end
    if matches == "h" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " head")
    elseif matches == "c" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " chest")
    elseif matches == "la" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " left arm")
    elseif matches == "ra" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " right arm")
    elseif matches == "ll" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " left leg")
    elseif matches == "rl" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " right leg")
    end
  tar = friend
else
  tar = "me"
end
    if matches == "h" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " head")
    elseif matches == "c" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " chest")
    elseif matches == "la" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " left arm")
    elseif matches == "ra" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " right arm")
    elseif matches == "ll" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " left leg")
    elseif matches == "rl" then
        send("deepheal " .. tar .. " right leg")
    end
Same thing, but shorter and easier to adjust later should it be necessary.

About the only thing I'd change on the second option is to have tar be a local variable. just in case something else uses tar for a targeting variable

How do you toggle a group on and off? For example, say I want to have a trigger group for siphoning as an aetherbasher... or getting get nightsweats trigger loop on and off (similar to your Nekotai spitter script, Demonic)?

the disable functions work on groups as well. For instance, if you have the aetherbasher trigger in the aetherbasher group, you would use disableTrigger("aetherbasher") and enableTrigger("aetherbasher") to turn them on and off.
There is no disableAll() or enableAll() to get the same group across all script types, so you'll have to enable/disable each one separately if you have more than one type of object to manipulate.

At the very top of the alias, do
local tar = ""
and then tar is a local variable to that alias. Personally, though, I'd rename the variable altogether.
local deepheal = ""
and then sub out deepheal for tar in the rest of it.
That's just a matter of preference though. If nothing else is using the variable 'tar' then as it was posted won't break anything.

send("stuff you want to send to the server", false)
ETA: though there's an option for whether things echo to the screen when you send them overall, if you just want to get rid of all of them. on the input line tab "show the text you sent"

OK, that was just what I needed (selective gagging). Thanks!
