Action capturing a string (I think) with color in it.

[elminster3k]

I have an action set up for something and when I view the variable, it has color in it (as I see it on the mud) which is unlike anything else I currently capture. The variable it stores is visibly an integer, but I cant use it as an integer, which I guess is due to the color? Is there a way to capture a string but strip out any color or just treat it as plain text? I have set up so many actions without issue here, but this one is just odd for me to understand. https://i.imgur.com/uB8n2vg.png From the screen capture, if I try to use that fullness var as a number, it just is not working for me.

I assume you're capturing the value with a color trigger. Using:

#line strip #var fullness <val>

might do the trick.

First of all, Merry Christmas! Thanks for replying. Line looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/Abe5dj1.png
Capturing like this: #act {~\{S\}~ %1} {#var slimeinfo %1} (this end up being a colored variable which is odd to me)
Then grabbing fullness like this: #regex {$slimeinfo} {Fullness:%1%} {#var fullness &1}

I will try the line strip out.

If you start an #action with a ~ it turns into a color trigger. Easiest fix is likely:

#act {\~\{S\}~ %1} {#var slimeinfo %1}

And a merry Christmas to you too! 😄
