Actually that didn't work.. and only seemed to work the first time I tried it =(

I've got it done now though, using the code you suggested..

sub CalculateBuyPokeBalls (strName, trig_line, arrWildCards)
if arrWildCards (2) * 100 > world.getvariable (arrWildCards (1) & "Gold") * 1 then
world.send "wh " & arrWildCards (1) & " You do not have enough Gold to purchase " & arrWildCards (2) & " Pokeballs!" 
end if
if arrWildCards (2) * 100 =< world.getvariable (arrWildCards (1) & "Gold") * 1 then
world.send "wh " & arrWildCards (1) & " " & arrWildCards(2) & " Pokeballs have been added to your account! " & arrWildCards (2) * 100 & " Gold has been removed from your account!" 
end if
end sub


The only thing missing was the * 1 with the Gold variable.. and the arrwildcards (1) and get variable needed to be switched. (Don't know why.. just seems to work that way)other then that, it all worked.

I know there is a character in VB to notify it to split a line in two, I cant remember it now though


That character is the underscore (_). eg.


if arrWildCards (2) * 100 > _
world.getvariable (arrWildCards (1) & "Gold") * 1 then

New problem...
People that have a space in they're name (eg. Storm Dragon) are joining.. and no variable is being created for them (Because you can have spaces in variables)

How can I fix this?

No idea how to even start this... :(

Replace the space in the variable name with an underscore, when storing it, and replace the underscore with a space if you need to get it back.

Well.... lets see..

public SDfinal

sub SpaceToUnderscore(Incomming)
 dim x
 'This sub should convert spaces into underscores *shiver*
 SDfinal = ""
 for x = 1 to len(Incomming)
  if mid(Incomming, x, 1) = " " then
   SDfinal = SDfinal & "_"
  else
   SDfinal = SDfinal & mid(Incomming, x, 1)
  end if
 next
end sub

sub testscript(TrigName, TrigLine, WildCards)
 call SpaceToUnderscore(WildCards(1))
 world.setvariable SDfinal, "100"
end sub


I hope you can see what this does, I'm too lazy to explain at the moment and too lazy to include too many remark lines
good luck

ah yes, and you can easilly invert it too

I had in mind something a bit simpler, using "replace". :)

Try this:


/world.note replace ("Nick Gammon wrote MUSHclient", " ", "_")


So, just use "replace" when you store the variable name, eg.


world.setvariable replace (playername, " ", "_"), contents

Well, that only applies to the player name. If you have to set a lot of them you could make a small sub that sets a player name to a value, eg.


sub setvalue (playername, newvalue)
  world.setvariable replace (playername, " ", "_"), newvalue
end sub


Then use that in place of the "setvariable" you currently do. You could do that with a global find-and-replace.
