Crummy Incomplete Influencing Snippets Made In a Haste Without Proper Management of Memory or Coding But Hey They Work

Script file. Call it whatever you want.

inf_type = {
  ["charity"] = {"begging", "supplication", "wheedling"},
  ["empower"] = {"compliments", "admiration", "praise"},
  ["weaken"] = {"teasing", "mockery", "derision"},
  ["seduction"] = {"flattery", "charm", "beguiling"},
  ["paranoia"] = {},
  ["amnesty"] = {"amnesty"}
}


Triggers. Make a folder. Name it Influencing. YOU MUST NAME IT "Influencing"! Deactivate the folder. Put a new trigger in it.

First trigger. Called mine Influence Prompt.

The line (perl regex) : ^\d+h, \d+m, \d+e, \d+p ([Bex\-]+)$

The code:


if matches[2] == "Bex-" then
 send("influence " .. inf_tar .. " with " .. inf_type[inf_type_spec][inf_type_num])
 inf_type_num = inf_type_num + 1
 if inf_type_num > table.getn(inf_type[inf_type_spec]) then
  inf_type_num = 1
 end
end

Second trigger. Called mine Influence Target Missing.

First line (exact match) :  You detect nothing here by that name.
Second line (exact match) : I do not recognize anything called that here.
Third line (exact match) : You cannot see that being here.
Fourth line (exact match) : Ahh, I am truly sorry, but I do not see anyone by that name here.
Fifth line (exact match) : Nothing can be seen here by that name.

The code:


disableTrigger("Influencing")


Third trigger. Called mine Influence Done.

First line (perl regex) : ^.* keeps asking h(?:im|er)self why s?he considered giving so much away, and pays you no attention\.$
Second line (perl regex) : ^.* is so caught up in admiring h(?:im|er)self that s?he barely notices you\.$

The code:


disableTrigger("Influencing")


Lastly, the alias. Appropriate uses are "inf tar whatever", "inf type whatever", "inf on", and "inf off"

The line: ^inf (on|off|(?:tar ([\d\w]+))|(?:type (charity|empower|weaken|seduction|paranoia|amnesty)))$

The code:


if matches[2] == "on" then
  enableTrigger("Influencing")
  inf_type_num = 1
elseif matches[2] == "off" then
  disableTrigger("Influencing")
elseif matches[2]:match("^tar") then
  echo("Influencing target: " .. matches[3])
  inf_tar = matches[3]
else
  echo("Influencing type: " .. matches[4])
  inf_type_spec = matches[4]
end

send(" ")



Hope this helps someone.
