Way to store value like TAG.X in 51a - Confusioner - 01-29-2014 01:27 AM

Hi,

I am looking for a way to store information permanently (string, position, number) into an item. MORE, MOREP etc. are not enough for this item. I need to save at least 30~ different key/value pair. In 55i, 56b we can use

Code:
TAG.SOMEKEY = VALUE

Is there a way to implement this in 51a?

VAR

But all VAR are global, so they all need a unique name... Since UID is unique, I would use that. For example,

VAR.Item<UID>.SomeKey=

However, if there ends up being a lot of these, then searching them will be slower and slower... so make sure to delete the VAR when you are done with it.

Thanks for your answer, I really appreciate it. But there must be something wrong, because I can't get it to work.


Code:
[7b56]
ID=0e3b
NAME=Book of Test
COLOR=070d
TYPE=12
MOREX=0
MOREZ=3
MOREY=1

VAR.TEST<UID>.SomeKey=TestOne
VAR.TST=TestTwo

ONTRIGGER=DCLICK
    src.message Test1: <VAR.TEST<UID>.SomeKey>
    src.message Test2: <VAR.TST>
    return 1

Both returns empty.

Can VARs be assigned in the itemdef section? I don't think so, try with tags instead in this case.

However, old versions (don't know if 51a had this behaviour too) needed to use try to set value<string>, so the item should be like this:

Code:
[7b56]
ID=0e3b
NAME=Book of Test
COLOR=070d
TYPE=12
MOREX=0
MOREZ=3
MOREY=1

TAG.TST=TestTwo

ONTRIGGER=CREATE
try TAG.TEST<UID>.SomeKey=TestOne //Also this one SHOULD NOT WORK in the item creation, as this section is for static keys, you should use ONTRIGGER=CREATE to set this one because until  CREATE the item does not have uid.

ONTRIGGER=DCLICK
    src.message Test1: <TAG.TEST<UID>.SomeKey>
    src.message Test2: <TAG.TST>
    return 1

Thanks XuN,

But it seems, it does not even recognize the TAG to parse it. Still looking for solution.

Dark told me on IRC that maybe TAG didn't exists on 51a, so the post from Ranxerox makes more sense now ^^. Try changing the TAG to VAR and moving both to ONTRIGGER=CREATE, lets see what happens Smile

I don't understand a shit ^^, 56c is ways better btw.

First: yeah you are god damn right, its old as hell. I don't like either. But this is a nostalgia shard. Trying to make small changes.

On the subject:

1) Turns out there is NO ONTRIGGER=CREATE method on 51a. I looked others scripts and they all created first initialization on ONTRIGGER=TIMER, with TIMER set to 0.
2) <VAR.TST> DOES work on session. But when you save the world, it disappears. Useless for permanent value storage.
3) I set TIMER to -1 to avoid looping.

Code:
[7b56]
ID=0e3b
NAME=Book of Test
COLOR=070d
TIMER=0
ATTR=24

ONTRIGGER=TIMER
SAY Item Created
VAR.TST=TestTwo
VAR.TEST<UID>.SomeKey=TestOne
TIMER=-1
return 1

ONTRIGGER=DCLICK
    src.message Test1: <VAR.TEST<UID>.SomeKey>
    src.message Test2: <VAR.TST>
    return 1

There must be some way to store multiple data to single item. Otherwise how come sphere save guild membership info of players?

RE: Way to store value like TAG.X in 51a - XuN - 01-30-2014 05:31 PM

Thats not good, I thought that vars were permanent back in 51a too. However, guild's information is stored in a single item (memory_guild) placed in each member/candidate wich is linked to the guildstone.
