[VX] Tag translation? (I don't know what I type to tag exactly)

[ikos]

Alright, I have an equipment script, that lets you add new equipment, and you have to tag equipment in the notes section.

Here's the script:

Spoiler

#==============================================================================
# ** Multi-Elot Equipment VX
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    Section 1:  Modules
#==============================================================================

module MS_MOD
  
#==============================================================================
# ***    C  O  N  F  I  G  U  R  A  T  I  O  N     S  E  C  T  I  O  N    *** #
#==============================================================================

  ARMOR_KINDS           = [0, 3, 3, 5]
  EXTRA_SLOT_NAMES      = ["Gauntlet", "Boots", "Amulet"] 
  
  CURSED_WEAPONS        = []
  CURSED_ARMOR          = []
  CURSED_COLOR          = 30

  SWITCH_EQUIP_WEAPONS  = []
  SWITCH_EQUIP_ARMORS   = []
  
end



#==============================================================================
# ** TAG CONSTANT
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Constant value(s) used to gain data from the 'note' section.
#==============================================================================

# Used for 'note-tagged' Multi-Slot Equipment
SLOT_KIND = /(?:SLOT_KIND|Multi-Slot:)\s*(.+)/i

#==============================================================================
# ** RPG

#==============================================================================

module RPG
  #============================================================================
  # ** Armor
  #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #  Data class for armor.
  #============================================================================
  
  class Armor < RPG::BaseItem
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # * Alias Listings
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------
    alias ms_module_kind kind
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # * Set New Item Types
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------
    def set_new_item_types
      @__type = -1
      self.note.split(/[\r\n]+/).each { |line|
                if line =~ SLOT_KIND
                  line_index = MS_MOD::EXTRA_SLOT_NAMES.index($1)
                  next if line_index == nil
                  @__type = line_index + 4
                end   }
    end
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # * Set Advanced 'Slot' Type
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------
    def type
      set_new_item_types if @__type == nil
      return (@__type == -1 ? ms_module_kind : @__type)
    end
  end
end

The thing, I don't understand what "/(?:SLOT_KIND|Multi-Slot\s*(.+)/i" even means. ._.
Any help on what characters I need to type? ^^;

[S S Muu]

That is a regexp string it's usually used to compare 2 strings, I'm not a master of regexp so I don't know exactly what that line does, well anyway
if you compare 2 strings like this it will return true

"my name is S.S Muu, nice!" == "my name is S.S Muu, nice!"

then if you do it like this

"my name is S.S Muu, nice!" == /my name is (.*), nice!/

it would still return true
basically that would look for "my name is something, nice!" where something could be really anything.
like I said I'm not an regexp expert so I don't know what your line does.
well, hope it helps  :thumb:
