my script questions

[Tgo01]

It's because the heirloom is a pIN which is matching "in" much earlier than you want so the entire first group is "that an unfortunate citizen lost after being attacked by a lesser griffin in Griffin's Keen"

This is a great website to use when you're having trouble with a regex: https://rubular.com/

Just enter your regex and the line you are matching and it will show you if it is matching correctly and which groups are being matched and all that good stuff.

Am I doing this right here? the original was working good until I came across critters that drag you to another room...

original

if Char.prof == "Cleric"
	loop{
		if Spell[213].known? and Spell[213].affordable?
			Spell[213].cast and waitcastrt?
			fput "stance defensive", "You are now in a defensive stance."
			fput "kneel"
			fput "search"
			sleep 1
			if checkbounty =~ /and should bring it back to one of the guardsmen/
				waitrt?
				sleep 1
				fput "loot room"
				break
			else
				until standing?
					waitrt?
					fput "stand"
					waitrt?
					sleep 0.2
				end
				move direction[number]
			end
		end
		number += 1
		number = 0 if number >= direction.count
	}
elsif Char.prof == "Empath"
yada yada yada....

updated version incase a critter drags me to another room. also, is there a command to tell the script to start over? or start from the beginning again?

if Char.prof == "Cleric"
	loop{
		if Spell[213].known? and Spell[213].affordable?
			Spell[213].cast and waitcastrt?
			fput "stance defensive", "You are now in a defensive stance."
			fput "kneel"
			fput "search"
			if line =~ /You intently search the area for the heirloom/
				sleep 1
				if checkbounty =~ /and should bring it back to one of the guardsmen/
					waitrt?
					sleep 1
					fput "loot room"
					break
				else
					until standing?
						waitrt?
						fput "stand"
						waitrt?
						sleep 0.2
					end
					move direction[number]
				end
			elsif line =~ /You don't find anything of interest here/
				waitrt?
				(start script over)
			end
		end
		number += 1
		number = 0 if number >= direction.count

	}

I don't know exactly what you mean by starting the script over again.

[onurb]

well when you run a script, it starts at line 1, top of the page

is there a way to like dump everything in memory (ex what direction it was going to go next) and start at line 1 again?

[Tgo01]

You can do a loop and set any variables to nil or 0. So you could set number = 0

Or you can make the entire thing a method or procedure and call it when you need to.

Otherwise I'm not aware of a way for a script to restart itself. The other option would be to have a second script running that looks for a global variable being set to true, then set that global variable to true when you want it to reset. Then the other script will stop the first script and start it again and set the variable to nil and continue looking for when it is set to true.

I am suprised as complex and diverse as ruby is, it is unable to restart a script.

even the wizard FE code was able to restart..

start:
put "hello
goto start

[onurb]

Well how about this...

earlier in the script I have this

if location_name == "Graveyard" && critter_name == "skeleton"
	start_script("go2", [ "1234" ])
	wait_while { Script.running?("go2") };
	direction = ["ne", "ne", "s", "sw", "w"]

is there a way I can save that 1234 as a variable to be used below?

elsif line =~ /You don't find anything of interest here/
		waitrt?
		start_script("go2", [ "????" ])
		wait_while { Script.running?("go2") };
		number = 0
	end

You can do something similar to that in Ruby.

You could do:

stuff_to_do = proc{
	code here
	code here
}

Then whenever you want to call this block of code do: stuff_to_do.call

You could be sure to nil our or zero out all of your variables at the top of the code so everything is starting over fresh if that's what you need.

	start_script("go2", [ "1234" ])

	direction = ["ne", "ne", "s", "sw", "w"]

elsif line =~ /You don't find anything of interest here/
		waitrt?
		start_script("go2", [ "????" ])
		wait_while { Script.running?("go2") };
		number = 0
	end

Yeah you could set the variable before this code.

So you could do for example:

skeleton_graveyard_room_number = 1234

Then do: start_script("go2", [ skeleton_graveyard_room_number ])

wracking my brain on this all evening... trying to give armor support to the chars that don't already have it. But I don't want the screen scroll for doing a "spell active" on each char which seems to be working but it's giving armor support to chars that already have it. need help

GameObj.pcs.each{ |pc|
	silence_me unless undo_silence = silence_me
	line = Lich::Util.quiet_command_xml("spell active #{pc}", /currently has the following active effects/)
	if line =~ /Armor Support/
		fput "smile"
	else
		fput "armor support #{pc}"
		sleep 5
		waitrt?
	end
	silence_me if undo_silence
}
