Forging Hammers Hangups

[vamosj]

Creating a script just to forge hammers and can't tell why it hangs up sometimes and sometimes it doesn't....

The two main places it does is after a grind or when the piece is too small....

Problem #1: This isn't a lich script.

Problem #1: This isn't a lich script.

Problem 2, I haven't learned Ruby yet... Still working on that...

Now back to the original question.

[Donquix]

That was the best answer I can give you. No amount of time invested in getting a stormfront script to work is as useful as learning very basic ruby/lich scripting.

Why does it hang? Because it's a shitty scripting engine with very limited capabilities by design. No matter how much you fine tune it, that will happen periodically. Such is the life of stormfront scripts.

[Gravebane525]

I know from doing my own scripting before if your pauses are not longer then the actual round time sometimes the commands go in early.

also depending on the account a wizard/stormfront script needs (or used to need) a pause every 2-3 commands.

toss in a pause at the begining of every section, a pause after every 2-3 puts. and a match to repeat the section with the trigger being what ever shows up when you try and put in a command and your still in rt... thats bout all I can think of

[vamosj]

Put in some pauses as you suggested and it's working better... Still not a lich script but it's my own script and it's running long enough for me to be happy with it.... Now I can start learning ruby while it's running...

[Gravebane525]

yea I have no idea if stormfront works like wizard but I know my old scripts would hang up randomly. and it mostly had to do with putting to many put commands in a row and having to many type ahead lines or the game lagging slightly and the script thinking the RT was over when it wasn't

Seconded.

Don't lie to me, you're not working on learning Ruby, you're working on a shitty SF script to make a forging hammer...
