put glance
match coffer coffer
match strongbox strongbox
match trunk trunk
match box box
match chest chest
match stow left hand

coffer:

goto box2

strongbox:
setvariable boxname strongbox
goto box2

setvariable boxname trunk
goto box2

chest:
setvariable boxname chest
goto box2

matchwait

Works fine for me... usually it's a good idea to put the command after the matches and before the matchwait so...


match coffer coffer
match strongbox strongbox
match trunk trunk
match box box
match chest chest
match stow left hand
put glance
matchwait

i dont have a type ahead line... could it be i need to put some more pauses or waitfor in there?

[Celephais]

That might help... I also made another change, right after
put stow left
add "stowdone:"

then before the match stow left hand
add "match stowdone and nothing in your left hand."

[Celephais]

Oh! also right after put drop %boxname% add "Goto stowdone" that way you don't try stowing after you dropped the box

[Wuxong]

no matter with the changes you suggested it still stalls when it gets to glance. no error or anything it just wont do anything after that point.. what could be wrong that it wont work with my stormfront ?

[Celephais]

Post what it does... I was using stormfront and it had no trouble at all (granted I was using someone who didn't have a shield so I took that out, but the principal is the same)

[Wuxong]

in the mix of it all i lost my copy of the scripts that has the loot thing in it with your suggestions.. could you please post it back at me or im on aim to Voldandelv?? it would be much apriciated. I have a copy witn no looting at all but if you could send me the one that works i would be forever greatfull.. this is driving me fricking crazy man. !:spin:

[Celephais]

Be sure to remove the extra spaces after each line...

YOU ARE THE BEST CELEPHAIS !!!!!!!!!!! You have made a longs week work come to an end.. thanks much for the scripting help my friend.. the version you posted works slicker the rolton turds........ no longer am i plauged with boxes that will get me webbed !!!!!!!! if there is a want for my hunting script now that it all works please people let me know and get ahole of me...

[Celephais]

No problem at all Wuxong, glad to help, I didn't do anything special, just tweaked what you already did. Idealy you would have matches instead of pause, so that it would be faster.

not waitfor... waitfor is just asking for some oddity to cause you to hang... match stuff like "you sling your shield.." and then have a catch of "match default >" to match the prompt if what you're searching for doesn't show up.

Be mindful of GMs... when you start a script it does tell the server that you're currently in a script, and they can be pretty clever when it comes to testing if you're scripting. (3rd party script engines rarely inform the server they are scripting)

[Wuxong]

ok one more things.. maybe the script gods hate me or maybe im a gimp but it still wont go past glance.. but now it only wont go past glance if i pick up anything that isnt a box.. like a gem or wand then it wont put them in my satchel and stops... any help please ?

[Celephais]

Well you might want to change "Stow left in satchel" to "stow left" I don't know if stow accepts "in" commands... not sure there.

Also check the line that has "left hand" and make sure it doesn't have an extra space at the end. (this is likely the problem)

[Wuxong]

where would i find a place that could explain a script engine and could you reccomend one for me. i script because i type very very slow ... lol and thanks again you good at this stuff....

[Celephais]

Stormfront has a script engine built in, it's what you've been using. Scripting is perfectly legitimate, my only reason for that little clause was to mention that if you are AFK scripting you could get caught. So if you script make sure you watch it. (This helps incase of GMs watching and incase your script hangs)

The other scripting engines, like Jamus' or Ultratech (on this very site there is a folder about this) require a bit more involvement on your part, more powerful but steeper learning curve/less community support.

[Wuxong]

well thanks again for all your help and tips.. i dont like the idea of afk scripting too much .. isnt the point of learning actualy being their to learn.. lol.. i just like to watch my ranger tear things up without my anoying bad typing habits getting in the way.. I think i will hold off on a script engine because this was hard enough for me to put together.. and to bee honest without your help and a few others it never woulda heppened.... thanks again for all your help and advice.. kulo!

I'm up way too late when I start noticing this crap... (it's 4:30 AM for me... I have to go to work tommorow...)
