Searching Critters Script

[Jonty]

You'll need to set your container variable and your shield variable if you use one for this script to run correctly.

if_1 goto start
AddToHighlightStrings string=".search <critter>" foreColor=14 highlightEntireLine=True /quiet

waitfor You are now in a defensive stance.
match strongbox strongbox
match coffer coffer
match box box
match chest chest
match trunk trunk
match broke It had nothing else of value.
match broke2 It had nothing of interest.
put search manticore
matchwait

broke:
put look
goto checkroom

broke2:
put look
goto checkroom

strongbox:
put put longsword in my harness
waitfor longsword
put get strongbox
put put strongbox in my cloak
put get longsword from harness
waitfor longsword
put look
goto checkroom

coffer:
put put longsword in my harness

Any suggestions on how to make this better? Also, what is the point in using WAIT commands if the scripting engine automatically waits for the roundtime?

Thanks

The wait command doesn't wait for time to pass..., it waits for a responce from the game. The purpose of my wait commands are to slow the script down so it doesn't type ahead. It's like the waitFor command, except it waits for ANY responce.

Yeah, the following is pointless, they do the exact same thing.


broke:
put look
goto checkroom

broke2:
put look
goto checkroom

Ok, I guess you didn't really look at how my script was written. You have 5 sections that do the exact same thing, but for different box types. You can condense the script by using the save variable instead. Assign the box type to the save variable; then go to ONE section to get and store the box using the save variable.

Alright, here's a situation I need some help with: I need to climb over a gate. If the climb fails you are knocked to the ground with appx. 10 sec. RT. If successful then, I should continue walking. I've set it up like this:
------
climbgate:
match moverest Within a short time, you have leapt down on the other side.
match failedclimb you fall
put put my longsword in my harness
waitfor longsword
put wear my shield
waitfor shield
put stance o
put climb gate
matchwait

failedclimb:
#If I failed then I have a 10 sec RT before I can stand. Will the script automatically wait for the roundtime before executing "put stand"
put stand
match up You stand back up.
match failedclimb You fail to stand
matchwait

up:
put climbgate
match moverest Within a short time, you have leapt down on the other side.
match failedclimb you fall
matchwait

moverest:
put get longsword from my harness
waitfor longsword
put rem shield
put stance d
move go trail
move northeast
move northeast
move east
move east
put give guard 5 silver
move go gate
move east
move east
move east
move east
move east
move east
move go bank
goto bankdepo

Don't you have to jump after you climb the gate?

Edited: Nevermind.

[Edited on 1-27-2004 by Jonty]

[Jonty]

This should work. Not 100% sure though since I can't test it.



prepGate:
put put my longsword in my harness
waitfor longsword
put wear my shield
waitfor shield
put stance o

climbgate:
match moverest Within a short time, you have leapt down on the other side.
match failedclimb you fall
put climb gate
matchwait

wait:
wait
# the following goto command is here in case you want to use this wait section for other sections instead of making multiple sections.
goto %s

failedclimb:
save failedclimb
match climbgate You stand back up.
match wait You fail to stand
match wait ...wait
put stand
matchwait

moverest:
put get longsword from my harness
waitfor longsword
put rem shield
put stance d
move go trail
move northeast
move northeast
move east
move east
put give guard 5 silver
move go gate

Thanks

I was wondering if anyone has incorporated this search script with the new loot verb it'd be much more helpful instead of typing .search <critter> we could just set a macro for . loot and it'd work great
I wish I knew how to make hardcore scripts like this but I can't so if anyone has anything like this would you mind putting it up on the boards to share with the masses?

Thanks in advance
