Looking for a simple casting script

[Anebriated]

Im looking for a basic script that just checks to see if i have enough mana to cast 302 and then casts at a target. Trying to get my feet wet with lich scripting and figure this should be a good place to start.

[Deathravin]

I usually just make a macro...

F1 = \x;eq fput "incant 701" if checkmana(1)\r
F2 = \x;eq fput "incant 702" if checkmana(2)\r

etc etc

[Anebriated]

thats all it is? really? thats awesome.

[Deathravin]

actually it would be the corrected one above... forgot the \x and \r

[Anebriated]

well what about channeling a spell? im looking to use this for smite/bane.

[Deathravin]

I started off making a SF script that used Lich...


match zero [exec1: the answer is 0]
match one [exec1: the answer is 1]
match two [exec1: the answer is 2]
put ;eq echo "the answer is #{rand(3)}"
matchwait
for things like dodging arrows in the rogue guild...

Then I converted existing scripts to the Lich-esque wizard language...


thingtodo = nil

start:
match "gotorand", "master footpad fires an arrow at you"
match "theend", "master foodpad tells you you're done", "you duck", "you jump", "you lean left"
fput thingtodo
matchwait

gotorand:
goto "label#{rand(3)}"

label0:
thingtodo = "jump"
goto "start"

label1:
thingtodo = "lean left"
goto "start"

label2:
thingtodo = "duck"
goto "start"

Then I made them fully lich, taking all the legacy code out

[Anebriated]

thats awesome. Ive been trying to figure out ways to cross lich and SF/wiz scripting and that post helps out a lot. Thanks!

I have no idea how smite/bane works... do you have to prep it first? is that the deal?

F1 = \x;eq if checkmana(2) ; put "prep 302" ; put "channel target" ; else ; respond "not enough mana" ; end\r

[Anebriated]

yeah its just prep/channel.

Is there a way to check if the mob is dead before you cast?

btw that works great, thanks.

R>;eq if checkmana(2) ; put "prep 302" ; put "channel wraith" ; end
[exec1]>prep 302
[exec1]>channel wraith

just threw this together and i think its working fairly well. but im doing something wrong as its not releasing the spell when I dont have a target.


spell=variable[1]

put "incant #{spell}" if checkmana(3)
loop{
line = get
if line =~/Cast Roundtime/
exit
elseif line =~/You do not currently have a target./
put "rel"
exit
elseif line =~/Your armor prevents the spell/
put "incant #{spell}"
end

}

Isn't there a flag to always channel on incant if possible and then just incant it?

ChannelIncant OFF Do not channel incanted spells.

good call.

try taking a look at voodoo.lic, you could easily modify it using the def waggle portion of waggle.lic to make it more inline with what you are wanting.

[Deathravin]

\x;eq if checkmana(2) and GameObj.npcs.find { |npizzle| npizzle.status != "dead" } ; put "prep 302" ; put "channel target" ; else ; respond "not enough mana or no living critters" ; end\r

I think that's about what were looking for there... Anything more I think we're into real script territory...

And I'm not sure you need to change "target" to your actual target... you can do channel target, and it will target whatever's in the room.

[Anebriated]

yeah Im looking to actually make it a script. I want to learn the language so I figure this is a nice easy way to get into it. Ive been staring at the code of a few different scripts and its not exactly uniform which makes it rather difficult.
