Ok this one is a lil out of my league but if someone can help me figure this one out I'll should be able to get a feel for how to do some of the more serious codeing.

Please Note that I'm not trying to create scripts to make a bot. I'm doing this soley for the purpose of learning how to code. With that said.

What I'm trying to do is create a code to "apply salve" once my hp is 50% or less than its max. The veriables for both of those are already made from other triggers.

Heres the 2 catches. one salve takes a few seconds before you can apply it again. Next I don't want to apply salve while I'm in combat.

So i need something that checks my hps vs hpsmax probably a bunch of if statesmates for each type of combat i do and a timer that checks how long since the last salve applications and loops the trigger to make sure all the conditions are right for another application.

I'm not asking someone to make this for me but I don't know what the syntax would look like. If someone could make an example that checks the @hp vs @hpsmax with a couple if statments and a timer with a loop i can should be able to take it from there.

Ok I've been playing around with this for awhile and made some progress but I havn't quite gotten it right. What I'm doing is everytime a monster dies, I check my current hp vs my max and if its below 50% I apply salve wait 5 seconds and check again and possible apply salve. How do I loop this. This is what I got so far

Well I've made more progress but it seems I've done something wrong.
Heres what I got so far.

#if (@hps<=@hpsmax/2) {
#REPEAT %round( @hpsmax-@hps/200) {apply salve}
#WAIT 2500
} {}

?...not sure.
Never used #repeat, and not sure if you are using the way it looks.
You want to have it repeated the # of times of your maxhp minus your current hp divided by 200?
Think u need to %eval the math part there with a nested eval:

#REPEAT %round( %eval (@hpsmax-%eval (@hps/200))) {apply salve}

just my thought of the script from something that i have:
%eval( @exppersecond-%eval( %eval( @exppersecond/100)*100)) exp per second for @battletime seconds.

hmm. No luck. it still just spams apply salve a bunch of times. any other ideas? It's like it doesn't use the wait or calculate how many times to loop it properly.

Use a prompt trigger and an alarm.

#trigger {whatever your prompt is} {#IF (@currenthealth <= (@maxhealth / 2)) {#T+ tApplySalveAlarm;apply salve} {#T- tApplySalveAlarm}} {nocr|prompt}

#alarm "tApplySalveAlarm" *5 {apply salve}

Best suggestion I can give is very similar to Matt's. Use your prompt trigger to apply your salve and set a variable to indicate that you must wait to apply again. Then use an alamr to clear that variable. Psuedo code follows:

#CLASS SalveControl
#VARIABLE DoSalve {1} {1}
#TRIGGER {^prompt (%d)/(%d) hp} {#VAR HP {%1};#VAR MaxHP {%2};#IF (@InCombat=0) {#IF (@DoSalve) {#IF (%eval(%1<=%2/2)) {#VAR DoSalve {0};#T+ SalveAlarm}}}} "" {prompt|nocr}
#ALARM "SalveAlarm" {*3} {#VAR DoSalve 1;#T- SalveAlarm}
#CLASS 0

Using #WAIT in a Trigger is a VERY bad idea.

Wow while effective it causes other problems. Useing the Alarm off the prompt will cause the trigger to fire even when I'm in combat which is something I want to avoid. Useing when the mob dies fires the trigger off but the alarm stays turned on. Lastly I'd like it to apply salve enough times to bring my currenthp up to close to max, not just bring it above the point where the trigger goes off. Any other ideas?
