Coding Pack!

Script File: 

CodingPack.mpackage

This is designed for people who are coding in mudlet. It provides a lua code alias with multiple returns, a trigger feeder, and a new 'function finder'.

This also includes a function that I consider crucial:

math.round() -- We all want to be able to easily round numbers off to a specific decimal point.

To update, remove the script you have in your system from the package manager, then install this one.

2.2

RunCode alias now will output any number of arguments - not just limited to three.

2.1
display() has been removed from this one - as of Mudlet 2.0 Test 7, an undocumented function that was being used by this display has been removed from Mudlet, and the display() built into mudlet no longer has the issues that this one fixed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lua Code Alias Syntax:
lua <stuff>

This alias is a bit more verbose than most Lua Code aliases. It will run the 'stuff' as lua code, and give you back whatever the code returns.

In the case where the code has multiple returns, such as getMainWindowSize(), it will show all of them. If there is an error, it prints to the Error log properly.

 Example:

lua yajl
(1) {
parser = "function: 0x23005410",
to_value = "function: 0x230053d0",
generator = "function: 0x23005450",
to_string = "function: 0x23005390",
null = null
}

                         
lua getMainWindowSize()
(1) 1281
(2) 632

lua 2*3+(34/3^3), 1+1, 3^2
(1) 7.2592592592593
(2) 2
(3) 9

Trigger Feeder Syntax:

`echo <stuff>

 This will feed <stuff> to your triggers, so you can test if a trigger is firing. Seperate lines with a $

Example: `echo This is on line 1$This is on line 2

Prints:

This is on line 1
This is on line 2

Function Finder Syntax:
    findfunc <stuff>

This will return a list of the various _G things that match your parameters. For example, 'findfunc echo' returns (and I bet you didn't know half these):

Example: findfunc echo

echo                                    Type: function

echoUserWindow                          Type: function

decho                                   Type: function

echoPopup                               Type: function

xEcho                                   Type: function

echoLink                                Type: function


checho                                  Type: function


cecho                                   Type: function


hecho                                   Type: function

Echos                                   Type: table   


cechoLink                               Type: function


dechoLink                               Type: function


hechoLink                               Type: function


Round Number Function:

math.round(num[, idp])

This will round 'num' to 'idp' decimal spots. If 'idp' is left out, then it will round it off to 0 decimal spots.

Note: This is not a TRUNCATE, this is a ROUND: 0 - 4 rounds down, 5-9 rounds up.
