Is there a way to format a string/var to only contain 1 unique instance of a word?

And if not, can you add such a function? =)

Working on a script that will do like:

#act {You feel less protected.} {`var {needspells} {$needspells armor protection}

("You feel less protected" is a trigger for 2 different spells, 'armor' and 'protection')

If both spells go off at the same time, i'd have like "var $needspells armor protection armor protection"

which would be a needless duplication further along in the script when the spells are being casted.

So i'm looking for a way to only append a string to a var, if it is not already in the var (unique).

Maybe some function in #format can be added to accomplish this?

Thanks :)

You can check it like this: #if {"$needspells" == "*armor protection*"} {#showme var is already set}

The * is regexp.

Technically the * is a wildcard. It would need to be ".*armor protection.*" to be a regexp.
