Define Group?

[Talonhawke]

Trying to figure out a way to insert the names of my group members into a start_script command..

ie.
define group somehow
then
start_script "waggle", [ group]

I don't think waggle accepts multiple arguments in that way but it's easy enough to make a wrapper for waggle.

I'll take "define group somehow" to be an indicator of your level of experience. What you want to do is create an array of names, then iterate over the names, using each name as an argument for waggle. It can be done as follows:


group = ["guy","buddy","friend"]

group.each { |guy|
start_script "waggle",[guy]
wait_until { !running?"waggle" }
}

I'm not unfamiliar with coding, but I know next to nothing about ruby. That was half of what I was looking for, I wanted to be able to use current group members in the array not a predefined group. I think that may be enough to figure out the rest though!

Thanks!

I have a script called group2 on the repo. It's a mostly group-friendly travel script. There's a couple of places that I can imagine failure. You could copy the portion of the script that determines your group members.

Basically what I ended up doing, although I used a groupspell script I think. Have it set to waggle2 the caller, then waggle the rest of the group. That way I can have different settings for self and group.

If anyone's curious...

start_script "waggle2"
wait_while { running?('waggle2') }

def currentGroup
done = false
group = Array.new

action = proc { |server_string|
if server_string.strip.length == 0
nil
next
end

if server_string =~ /^<a exist="-\d+" noun="(.*)">(?:.*)<\/a> is the leader of your group\./
group.push($1)
nil

elsif server_string =~ /^<a exist="-\d+" noun="(.*)">(?:.*)<\/a> is also a member of your group\./
group.push($1)
nil

elsif server_string =~ /^<a exist="-\d+" noun="(.*)">(?:.*)<\/a> is following you\./
group.push($1.to_s)
nil

elsif server_string =~ /Your group status is currently/
nil

elsif server_string =~ /You are not currently in a group/
nil

elsif server_string =~ /<prompt/
done = true
DownstreamHook.remove('Group_hook')
server_string

elsif server_string =~ /GROUP HELP/
done = true
DownstreamHook.remove('Group_hook')
nil

else
server_string
end
}

DownstreamHook.add('Group_hook', action)
silence_me unless undo_silence = silence_me
put 'group'
silence_me if undo_silence
wait_until { done }
return(group);
end

group=currentGroup()

group.each { |guy|
start_script "waggle",[guy]
wait_until { !running?"waggle" }
}
