Learn how to script with this simple hunting script

[elcidcannon]

This is focused mstrike, you could get fancy and for example have the script check if there are two or more critters in the room then you would use open mstrike instead.

Now that I've got you buttered up, how would I do this? Can lich tell the room population without having to do a look?

Yes.

Where could I find a list of the functions that lich uses to query the game?

There are some functions here:

What you could do I think is:

if GameObj.npcs.length > 2
	fput "do stuff"
end

And change the number to whatever. Use your grade school learning of greater than and less than, which number would the duck rather eat?

Awesome....I'm on the right track, I believe.

I'm having difficulty with multiple targets. It seems as if I'm only targeting one creature at a time, and have to re-run the script if there are two or more of the listed targets in the room.

Could I make a "targets?" script to go first inside of the loop, that exits if null and continues if 1 or more?

Yeah I think my example on the first post just deals with one critter then ends.

You can do anything with Ruby that your mind can imagine.

Bloody useful post. Will scrutinise on weekend when time permits. Want to translate my stormfront scripts into lich.

Good stuff here!

Is anyone else having problems with the initial code? I go to run the script and it just does this:

--- Lich: ambush active.
--- Lich: ambush has exited.

So it sees a target, it just doesn't engage.

Can you copy and paste the code you are using?
