Modified skinning script.

[Stunseed]

Celexei and I have been toying with this modified script for Rangers to cast 604 pre-skin. I'm still a scripting n00b, so I can't figure what is wrong. It's made for Stunseed alone, but can be altered for normalness.

#Utility - skins target

put put my waraxe in my loop
waitfor You carefully hang
put get my knife from my boots
waitfor You remove a

Cast:
put incant 604
pause
match Kneel You feel more nimble.
match Recast [Spell Hindrance

Recast:
Wait 3
Goto Cast

Kneel:
put kneel
waitfor You kneel down
put stance o
waitfor You are now in
put skin %1

STAND:
put stand
Match STUNNED You are still stunned
Match TRYAGAIN ...wait
Match GOAHEAD You stand
Match GOAHEAD You are already
matchwait

STUNNED:
pause 3
goto STAND

TRYAGAIN:
goto STAND

GOAHEAD:
put stance d
waitfor You are now
put put my knife in my boots
waitfor You put a
put rub my loop
waitfor You unsnap
put take waraxe from my loop
waitfor You deftly remove
put search %1
waitfor You search
put flag lefthand off

END:
exit

Can someone tell me what exactly is wrong? It is just casting 604 over and over now, where before where there was no hinderance check, it would cast and hang on the kneel.

[Artha]

Just FYI, I'm pretty sure that kneeling doesn't make a difference.

[Drew]

I was telling you on PSInet but it's easier for me to just correct it here:


#Utility - skins target

Kneel:
put kneel

put stance o
waitfor You are now in
put skin %1

STAND:
put stand
Match STUNNED You are still stunned
Match STAND ...wait
Match STAND You struggle
Match GOAHEAD You stand
Match GOAHEAD You are already
matchwait

STUNNED:

I've been told kneeling makes a difference for the success/failure check, but not for the value check. If you pretty much skin everything, then kneeling wont make a visible difference.

[Stunseed]

Still hanging....

[Drew]

I know Stunseed isn't a master skinner so he probably want to keep the kneeling check, I never have any problem with my skinning script kneeling since it puts me in defensive.

[Farquar]

Try taking out the pause after the incant. It might be causing a hiccup.

It had nothing of interest.

Without pause, the script works so far. Will post more snippets shortly.

[Farquar]

I find it more helpful to have a single skinning script template, then modify it for a particular hunting area, so you can have it automatically stow without having a complete creature/skin database.

[StrayRogue]

Kneeling effects it, and you are over-complicating the script, personally.

[Artha]

You could just use stow left/right and not edit it ever.

[Soulpieced]

I heart stow left hand.

Yes, that definitely helps.

[Jonty]

Why is this at the end of the script?

"put flag lefthand off "

I don't see where it turns the flag on in the first place.

Yeah, you should use that in the rift. :whistle:

[Latrinsorm]

If I were you, Nien, I'd have a pause label instead of hooking the roundtime right into the same label. It can cause the Wizard to crash.

[Jonty]

I always do somethign like:

standW:
wait

stand:
put stand
match sheath you stand
match standW You struggle, but fail to stand.
match standW ...wait
