Wait and Wait Line

[nowhereman]

I've changed:

Code: Select all

function wait_line_timer(name)
    for _,v in ipairs(threads[name][2]) do
        if v ~= nil and v[1] ~= nil then
          disableTrigger(v[1])
          killTrigger(v[1])
        end
    end
    wait_line_resume(name)
end

as when the triggers would fail to resolve their regex the timers would expired and next time I got a successful trigger, i'd get multiple triggers stacking up. It's a quick fix. I think it might be correct. Submitting here as both a bug report and a proposed solution.

You are correct. Timeout function doesn't point to the correct trigger id.

But your fix can only process single line case, I have fixed it to afford both single line and multiple line cases:

Code: Select all

function wait_line_timer(name)
    for _,v in ipairs(threads[name][2]) do
        for _,i in ipairs(v) do
            disableTrigger(i)
            killTrigger(i)
        end
    end
    wait_line_resume(name)
end

The new version with the fix is uploaded, you can download it from the link in #1 post

hi, does this still work on mudlet v 4.16.0? I downloaded from post #1 and made this code

Code: Select all

coroutine.wrap(
  function()
    while true do
      local result = wait_line([[^You killed (.{0,4}]],2)
      if result[2] then
        cecho("\n<orange>we killed: " ..result[2])
      end
    end
end)()

and calling this function from a trigger:

Code: Select all

function enemyStatus(target,t)
    result = wait_line([[^You killed (.{0,4}]],t)
    
    if result[2] == target then
        return true
    else
        return false
    end
    
end

both are giving me this error about attempt to index local 'result':

wait_line(): [string "Alias: alias - test"]:5: attempt to index local 'result' (a boolean value)
details: stack traceback:
[string "Alias: alias - test"]:5: in function <[string "Alias: alias - test"]:2>

First off, thank you for this module! It's incredibly helpful.

I was wondering if anyone had a way of making it so a function with a wait() in it could be called and delay what it returns. For example:

Code: Select all

function foo()
  coroutine.wrap(
    function()
      wait(3)
      return "bar"
  end)()
  return "sadface"
end

print(foo())

> sadface

In this example, it will print "sadface". However, it would be nice to have the functionality in that the called to foo would be delayed for 3 seconds and then it prints "bar". I suspect this is possible with the way its implemented but wanted to check.
