Adding to a wraith script

[TheRoseLady]

I took a wraith hunting script here and with the immense help of Latrin got it to work.

The thing is that it hangs on wraith talons. I need a way to either get them, or ignore them and have it restart where it was. Any helpers?

This is the script:

save look
a:
match crypt [Graveyard, Crypt]
match start1 [Minion Quarters]
put look
matchwait

crypt:
put stance off
put stand
pause 1
put stance def
put go arch
put search
put go crack
nextroom
move e
move e
move e
move e
move e
move e
put go tunnel
nextroom
move n
move e
move e
put turn torch
waitfor As you turn the flickering torch the wall slowly moves apart to reveal a darkened stairway!
put go stair
nextroom
move w
move w
move w
put go door

put search
put go stair

start:

match charcheck wraith

with

match charcheck a wraith.
match charcheck a wraith,
match charcheck a wraith and
match charcheck a wraith that is lying down

If its a mist wraith like Vaalor...

match charcheck a mist wraith,

etc.

If you use Stormfront, I can come up with some matchre's as well.

Out of morbid curiosity, what will that do to make the script better, Electrawn?

[TheRoseLady]

Now it ignores the wraiths

You also see a wraith and a flickering torch.

[Electrawn]

You have to be careful cutting and pasting from the boards...it adds extra spaces at the end of the line, which screws up match.


start:
COUNTER ADD 1
pause 1
put %s
match charcheck a wraith.
match charcheck a wraith,
match charcheck a wraith and
match charcheck a wraith that is lying down
match goon You can't go there
match stand P>
match path%c Obvious
matchwait

To Bob:

We are trying to match wraiths the critter but ignore "wraith talon" on the ground

The original script form here would see a wraith talon on the ground and think its a wraith.

[Bobmuhthol]

Ah, okay. I should pay more attention.

[hectomaner]

start:
COUNTER ADD 1
pause 1
put %s
match path%c wraith talon
match charcheck wraith
match goon You can't go there
match stand P>
match path%c Obvious
matchwait

ftw

[TheRoseLady]

Thanks all, I'll try again when I get home from work.

Just a quick FYI, Electrawn's suggestion is great, but if you get an "A wraith just arrived," it won't match, will it? ... it's been so long I can't even remember if Wizard scripts are case sensitive. Anyway, if you aren't at the 32 match limit, just add in a quick match for whatever message that critter gives when it spawns too.

[hectomaner]

actually, i was wrong


start:
COUNTER ADD 1
pause 1
put %s
match charcheck a wraith.
match charcheck a wraith,
match charcheck a wraith and
match path%c wraith talon
match goon You can't go there
match stand P>
match path%c Obvious
matchwait
