newbie script question
|
Hey there.. I'm really new to scripting.. I have a question.. I'll try and be as descriptive as possible.
On the particular mud I play, there's a skill called 'Aura Heal' and a device called a 'Force Cube' it's not really important what they do.. I need to put a delay between when I use them..
old style:
ah
ah
ah
uc
ah
ah
st
uc
ah
ah
st
uc
ah
ah
st
uc
ah
ah
st
uc
(every command is executed right after the other..)
ah = aura heal
st = store cube
uc = use cube
I want to put a delay between when I heal.
I tried using the ALARM command.. and maybe I was just doing it incorrectly. The following script doesn't work because all the commands with the short delay are executed first.. and then come the others.
I wanted to executed the first command 'ah' and then WAIT... then execute the second command. and then WAIT.. and then bam-bam, 2 commands in a row. And then continue with the script the same way..
The length of delay isn't important.. but we'll say a full second. (I know.. I have it set to a 10th of a second)
this doesn't work:
#ALARM +0.1 ah
#ALARM +0.5 ah
#ALARM +0.5 ah
#ALARM +0.1 st
#ALARM +0.1 uc
#ALARM +0.5 ah
#ALARM +0.5 ah
#ALARM +0.1 st
#ALARM +0.1 uc
#ALARM +0.5 ah
#ALARM +0.5 ah
#ALARM +0.1 st
#ALARM +0.1 uc
#ALARM +0.5 ah
#ALARM +0.5 ah
#ALARM +0.1 st
#ALARM +0.1 uc
#ALARM +0.5 ah
#ALARM +0.5 ah
#ALARM +0.1 st
#ALARM +0.1 uc
Sorry for the long post.. and I know this is a fairly simple thing to do.. I'm just not familiar with scripting enough to figure it out..
any help is hugely appreciated..
Thanks much! |

If you are using #alarm and setting it all off at the same time you need to increase the number of seconds to wait on every line.
Ex
#ALARM +0.1 ah
#ALARM +0.6 ah
#ALARM +1.1 ah
#ALARM +1.2 st
I hope this works

If I have this correct, you would like to do an Aura Heal, wait, Aura Heal, wait, Store Cube, Use Cube, and repeat. This can be managed with an alias. To avoid recursion problems, it would probably be best to use a trigger for the repeats. This can easily be modified to include a counter if you want to run it for a set number of repetitions. By putting these into a separate class (such as cube) they can be easily turned off either manually or by script once you've healed enough.
#AL HealCube {ah;#ALA +1 {ah};#ALA +2 {sc;uc}} cube
#TR {force cube activation text} {healcube} cube

Either you use nested #ALARMS:
ah; #ALARM +0.5 {ah; #ALARM +0.5 {ah; st; uc; #ALARM +0.5 {ah; #ALARM +0.5 {ah; st; uc; #ALARM +0.5 {ah; #ALARM +0.5 {ah; st; uc; #ALARM +0.5 {ah; #ALARM +0.5 {ah; #ALARM +0.1 {st; #ALARM +0.1 {uc; #ALARM +0.5 {ah; #ALARM +0.5 {ah; #ALARM +0.1 {st; #ALARM +0.1 uc}}}}}}}}}}}}}
or use #WAIT commands
#ALI ahstuc {ah; #WAIT 500;ah; #WAIT 500;ah; st; uc; #WAIT 500;ah; #WAIT 500;ah; st; uc; #WAIT 500;ah; #WAIT 500;ah; st; uc; #WAIT 500;ah; #WAIT 500;ah; #WAIT 100;st; #WAIT 100;uc; #WAIT 500;ah; #WAIT 500;ah; #WAIT 100;st; #WAIT 100; uc}
Note that using #WAIT in an alias is usually fine, while using it in a trigger is usually asking for trouble.
