Hello!

I would like to have an auto-exp-script for Holy Mission(for those who know the mud).

I searched for some scripts and tried some things...but what i miss is :

I make a path, the char walks the path and kills every mob on the way.
But how can i define that when the path ends the char should leave the zone and go to another zone and start a new path.

I dont know how to get the script make on after another.

1) go to zone
2) slow-walk path and kill every mob
3) when finished, leave zone
4) go to next zone
....

Help please:)

Well if the old path ends as you step into the zone you could make use of the onZoneEnter #EVENT to redefine your path

No...the path ends somewhere in the zone.

I would like to have :

1) slow-walk a path and kill every mob
2) speedwalk back to the entrance of the zone and leave it
3) go to next zone
4) start another slow-walk and kill every mob

and so on.

Just an automatic bot which goes from zone to zone and killes mobs which i defined.

The "simple combat bot" is the bot i would like to use (http://forums.zuggsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17006)

You could just adjust the path, or make an onRoomEnter event for the end room to switch locations

No, i cant adjust the path...because that would mean that the char slowalks the whole path.

I want :

1) Speedwalk to first zone and enter
2) slow-path the zone and kill all mobs
3) speed-walk back to zone-entrance, leave zone, go to next zone
4) enter zone, slow-path whole zone
etc

I hope it it clear now:)

Well, you could simply write all that into your script. Without knowing more about your actual script and the specific situation in the mud, it's really hard for us to give more specific advice. What exactly do you not know how to do?

ok when i made the simple combat bot into a more advanced combat bot, once i finished one path i used that path and send out a string like path1isnowcomplete and i triggered off of that as a command input and went to the second area, ect ect ect

@robecks

Yeah...but how did you know when one path ended?

Could you maybe post your script?

So..i managed to build some nice script.

The only thing i need now is to know when a path ends.

When i start a path with #SLOW and walk it with #STEP .. is there a possability to know when the path ends?

Hm..there is th Event OnWalkEnd ... but it seems not to work for #SLOW path.

I don't have enough time atm to dwell deeper on it, but I must ask why use #slow / #step etc at all? I've forgot most of the programming
I did back in a day while writing a similar bot, but the movement gist was basically a String List where you pop off one item each time you've got the confirmation you've reached the room intended. Ie, #exec %item(@move_list, 1), you move say south, once you've confirmation (Exits line or whatnot) you do %pop(move_list) and remove the direction. All this should go even smoothly now with all the excellent scripting additions Zugg has made so far. Though I'm not familiar in a practical level with all this at all anymore because I nor actively MUD nor script.

Anyway, I never used slow walk, seemed rather clunky to me to be honest.

I have to agree. Popping directions off a stringlist is probably a much better solution for what you are doing.

Ok...i will think about it.

Meanwhile i found a solution for my question. At the end of the path it is possible to add (#SHOW endPath), so we know when the path ends.
