I’m trying to take a players input, and depending on what it is, do something with it. But I can’t seem to get it to work.
Here is my code:
[code]understand “configure [text]” or “conf [text]” as configuring.
configuring is an action applying to one topic.
a PlayerText is some text that varies.
Table 1 - Configuration
topic reply location
“head” “head reply” “na”
“arm” “arm reply” “na”
“leg” “leg reply” “na”
“torso” “torso reply” “na”
“foot” “foot reply”
Check configuring:
if the player is in the body:
if the topic understood is a topic listed in the Table of Configuration:
now the PlayerText is “[topic understood]”;
if the PlayerText is “Head”:
say “[reply entry][paragraph break]”;
move the player to the Head;
otherwise:
say “not built yet[line break][topic understood][line break][PlayerText]”;
otherwise:
say “Unknown Command. Type SHOW HELP for help” instead. [/code]
I’m taking the topic understood and putting it into a variable because doing something like:
if topic understood is topic in row 1 of the Table of Configuration:
didn’t work.
So, I put in some debug text, to tell me what PlayerText is being set to, and why it isn’t matching my check (“head”).
I’ll type “configure head” and it will output:
not built yet
head
head
My “otherwise” debug text shows me that the topic understood and playertext are the same, so I know that is getting set, but what isn’t working is:
if the PlayerText is "head":
say "[reply entry][paragraph break]";
move the player to the Head;
Which makes no sense, because the PlayerText DOES equal “head”!
Please help, or tell me what I am doing wrong =(
EDIT: Ok, apparently I am a moron. I was doing it wrong…I guess? I had to use:
if PlayerText matches the text "head":And that works great. But I guess I am confused, since I though the “is” keyword was doing exactly that. Can anyone explain the difference?
Thanks!
