sloot3 troubles

[zennsunni]

Hey all, I'm trying to get sloot3 to work with my new weather-scripted coat, and am having some troubles. The problem lies in the fact that the coat has custom outputs for putting/removing stuff in/out of the coat. It says "you grab <bler> from a small pocket inside your <coat>.

I have found the two spots in the script in which it says:

You grab .* from inside your .*

and have added it so that it now has:

You grab .* from inside your .* from a small pocket inside your heavy canvas coat .*\.

Still isn't working. I assume I'll have to modify the "you put" parts too. A

Any advice?

Do you know what .* means?

Right now your regex will match a line that looks like this:
You grab a copper lockpick from inside your heavy canvas coat from a small pocket inside your heavy canvas coat and here's some other text for some reason.

What you want is to have your statement match is anything like this:
You grab a copper lockpick from inside your heavy canvas coat.
You grab a copper lockpick from a small pocket inside your heavy canvas coat.

The following will work:
/You grab .* (from inside your|from a small pocket inside your) .*/i

And as long as you don't expect to be running several scripts all doing strange things, this would be sufficient:
/You grab .*/i

Look at some ruby regex references. I use the case insensitive option because I find that my regex statements with leading caps don't match otherwise (I'm not certain why).

This is a handy site for testing regex statements:

I probably should have prefaced my post by saying I don't know squat about ruby scripts.

Thanks for the help, I'll give it a whirl.

Simplified the match and it works fine. Had to add several new lines for that coat though. It has special outputs for different item types.
