Spectre Hunter

[StrayRogue]

My first ever hunting script. Its still got a ton of bugs, you need to be a cleric with a sanct'd weapon, it doesn't spell you up (yet, just haven't gotten round to it), and it can hang some time. Any scripting Gods with any valid input, please post with any ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

Start it at the arch in Snow Spectres:

Mk2: This one will walk around a little slower, kill a little quicker, and spell up after each hunt with 202, 211, 303, 307, 101, and 103. You need PSInet for this option to work unless you want to edit it yourself.

Also ironed out a few bugs where it stalled before:

Under the "Gorest" label, why not use MOVE instead of PUT and PAUSE? I don't know anything about cleric hunting anymore, so I can't help with the other stuff.

[StrayRogue]

Well, it was previously move. But on occasion it would move too quickly and hang. The same would happen with the normal hunting movements. So I put a pause in there to slow it down a tad.

[StrayRogue]

Seems it has a poaching problem. Anyone have any idea why it would be poaching other peoples kills, I can't seem to find the problem.

[Latrinsorm]

Do you have a log of the poaching?

[StrayRogue]

Its got me and Nakiro stumped. Anyone else?

[Latrinsorm]

My only suggestion is put a redundant "also here" check in the filter: section. On an unrelated note, get rid of the critter: section, as it seems to be extraneous.

The weird thing is, in the second example it looks like it's doing a matched kill from the wailing, which it shouldn't if the pause is working correctly.

[StrayRogue]

Neither suggestion worked.

[imported_Kranar]

It's been fixed.

The error was that checking for a critter, and checking if someone is in the room need to be checked for individually and independently.

It does not suffice to

put look
match attack a <critter name>
match nextRoom Also here:
match nextRoom Obvious paths:
matchwait

Since "a <critter name>" always appears before "Also here:", thus if a critter is in the room, the script pays no regard to the fact that another player may also be in the room as well.

Instead, you must first check for the critter, and then if the critter is found, you must check if someone is in the room as follows:

match filter a <critter name>
match nextRoom Obvious paths:
matchwait

filter:
put look
match attack Obvious paths:
match nextRoom Also here:

This way, a precondition on filter is that a critter must be in the room, now we look once more to find out if another player is in the room. If no player is in the room then Obvious paths gets matched and we proceed to attack. If another player is in the room, then Also here: gets matched (since it comes before Obvious paths:) and the script moves to the next room.

[StrayRogue]

Thanks a bunch Kranar. You've made my day.

[Chadj]

Who hunts spectres? like, honestly.

[StrayRogue]

Erm, people who want to hunt something that casts and attacks with a pathetic AS/CS and has low TD/DS with good treasure?

[Chadj]

:moon2:

[StrayRogue]

You're posts are more erroneous than Maimara's, and thats saying something.

[fallenSaint]

So Im stirring this out of the depths of the forum but I just recently found it anyhow... when I run it just passes right by the spectres without attacking what did I do wrong?

[StrayRogue]

No idea. I'll repost my own version again when I have time.

[fallenSaint]

Ok used one of Kranar's scripts as a guide and found what the issue was so got it all working. Thanks for the help.

[Stunseed]

If someone could take a look at this script and alter it, I'm thinking of running a Bard using a Sonic weapon on it.

[StrayRogue]

Thats because its an old version...Dumbass.

[StrayRogue]

Ask Bob about the version I sent him. As I've posted because, douchebag, I don't post the scripts I personally use.

[StrayRogue]

Then what the fuck is your dumbfuck thread about your Temple hunter all about then? Idiot.

[StrayRogue]

... Are you blind. That isn't the script I use or give to people. Jesus fucking Christ...

[StrayRogue]

I don't see you posting any of your scripts anywhere fuckhead.

[HarmNone]

That's enough, you two. Take it off the boards.

[Gan]

I vote for an IP address check on Spunkmonk. As PB stated in another thread, his posts suspiciously look/sound like Psychos. I dont know which is more annoying... his posts or X's posts.

[Stunseed]

< If someone could take a look at this script and alter it, I'm thinking of running a Bard using a Sonic weapon on it. >

This post still applies. :yes:

[StrayRogue]

Do sonic weapons hit undead?

[Stunseed]

Indeed, they do. Which is why I'd like a script of it. I've got 2 Bards I need to run through there.

[StrayRogue]

U2U me your email and I'll send my modified bard version. I totally didn't realize sonics hit undead...
