Ignore some whispers during monitoring

Hey rock, lisa.
I'm using the monitoring function im my onload to be informed, when I will be whispered. So its working fine, except of the ignoring some whisperers.
Code: Select all
function beepwhispers()
repeat
local time, moreToCome, name, msg = EventMonitorCheck("WhisperNotify", "4,1")
if moreToCome ~= nil and (name ~= "Hilfsbegleiter" or name ~= "B\129ndniskrieger") then
cprintf(cli.lightred, "Someone whispered!\n");
printf("\a\a\a");
end
until moreToCome ~= true
end
EventMonitorStart("WhisperNotify", "CHAT_MSG_WHISPER");
registerTimer("beepwhispers", secondsToTimer(5), beepwhispers);
so it should ignore the newbie-pet (Hilfsbegleiter) and this stupid NPC in Sarlo, which whispers all the time (in german in contains umlauts "Bündniskrieger")
I've tried the solution above, but it seems not to work. Have also tried the lua umlauts-code "B\195\188ndniskrieger", also without any effect - the NPC will not be ignored.
Any suggestion yourside?
thx in advance.

I think the issue you have is checking the names with "not equal" and "or". It will always resolve to true because the name will never be both options you are checking. Try using "and" to check the names.

No! seems also not to work.
I've tried to use only one name
Code: Select all
if moreToCome ~= nil and name ~= "B\129ndniskrieger" then
but it also will be monitoring instead of being ignored. Maybe it depends on the umlaut "ü" - I dont know.
Rock, lisa, any idea?

So it beeps even when that player whispers you? Maybe you should have it print the name so you can check what is returned.
Code: Select all
cprintf(cli.lightred, name .. " whispered!\n")
Otherwise I don't really have experience with dealing with special characters.

Same problem here.

Micromacro
is capable if printing "Bündniskrieger" correctly so that strange character must be what it really gets from the game. I looked around and found that the bot uses a function to fix these umlaut characters from the game. So try this.
Code: Select all
local time, moreToCome, name, msg = EventMonitorCheck("WhisperNotify", "4,1")
name = utf8ToAscii_umlauts(name)
if moreToCome ~= nil and (name ~= "Hilfsbegleiter" or name ~= "B\129ndniskrieger") then

Thank you rock - its coming closer to the solution, but using your suggestion got this: ".../scripts/rom/functions.lua:914: bad argument #1 to 'gsub' (string expected, got nil)"
edit:
have changed the function into
Code: Select all
repeat
local time, moreToCome, name, msg = EventMonitorCheck("WhisperNotify", "4,1")
if moreToCome ~= nil then
name = utf8ToAscii_umlauts(name)
if (name ~= "Hilfsbegleiter" or name ~= "B\129ndniskrieger") then
cprintf(cli.lightred, name .. " whispered!\n")
printf("\a\a\a");
end
end
until moreToCome ~= true
Now it prints "Bündniskrieger whispered!" so the name will be printed correctly, but the hell, it will not be ignored!

Sorry, I just copied those lines and forgot to change the 'or' to an 'and' as was discussed.

Ups, newbie logical confusion
Thx Rock and Bill - changing to "and" works as it should.
