Question - Multiple name calls out during the event.

[Overtimer]

Is it possible to single out one name during a multiple call-out, for an LEM event?

Single-name call-out is simple.

Badman calls out you John.

#*#Badman calls out you #1#.#*#

local function event_handler(line, name)
if name == mq.TLO.Me.CleanName() then


What if Badman calls out you John, John2, john3.


What would the code look like? I spent time looking for something like this and couldn't find it.


Answer:

local function event_handler(line, names)
if string.find(names, mq.TLO.Me.CleanName()) then

you could either add #2# #3#
or just use string functions on the line and get the names that way.


#*#Badman calls out you #1#, #2#, #3#.#*#

local function event_handler(line, name1, name2, name3)
if name == mq.TLO.Me.CleanName() then

Hmm, I did that and I couldn't get the second name. I need to log in and try again.
Maybe I missed something, my eyesight sucks these days.

Thank you.

Some emotes have a varying number of names
[CODE title="Lua"]if string.find(listOfNames, mq.TLO.Me.CleanName()) then[/CODE]

Omg, thank you guys. I went with the string command, a much cleaner code.
