Confirm wait when at full HP/MP/status

[Chicken]

You hit "5" to wait out a lot of things in the game. The problem is, you have to do it SO much, to get back HP, MP, wait for status effects ... and yet, it's a really long waste of moves, food etc. if you happen to hit it when you're at full for everything. This aggravates me and I don't even try for tournament speed freak trophies. Yeah, I know that going through and checking for HP, MP, and *any* expirable bad status whatsoever before nagging the user with a Wait with full health and magic (Y/N)? would be a pain to code, but ... it'd be appreciated...

If it's intentional, '55' would be less of a pain than '5Y'.

I don't do this intentionally often enough to worry about that... Most often I rest while at full HP/MP in only one of two situations: 1) I finished a fight and hit 5 out of reflex, forgetting I took no damage, or 2) I want to wait for a monster to approach and am too lazy to pay attention while '.'ing or to use command for repeat n times. '5y' has interface consistency also since other confirm requests require 'y' or 'Y' (I don't think this one warrants a 'Y').

I had the same issue with needlessly waiting a bunch of turns because hammering '5' out of reflex. Some time ago I created a custom rest function in my crawlrc to solve this issue:

  Code:

{
function hp_percent() a,b=you.hp() return 100*a/b end
function mp_percent() a,b=you.mp() return 100*a/b end

function custom_rest()
  if hp_percent() == 100 and mp_percent() == 100 then
    if crawl.yesnoquit("Wait 100 turns?", true, 'n') == 1 then
      crawl.process_keys("5")
    end
  else
    crawl.process_keys("5")
  end
end
}

macros += M 5 ===custom_rest


Not saying that this shouldn't be the default behavior of the game. But it is something you can use right now (you would probably want extend the hp/mp condition with some additional status queries).

We have 3 different wait buttons (., s, 5). We could have one be "wait until fully rested", one "wait 1 turn", one "wait (this many) turns".

[Tedronai]

You can already configure 5 to rest until fully healed (see rest_wait_both and rest_wait_percent). To wait for a specific number of turns you can just use "0N." (N being the number of turns you want to wait).

As far as I know the only reason both '.' and 's' are kept around is for legacy reasons (from the time where search and wait were separate commands).
