I'm very new to scripting. I'm trying to write a script that does the following.

Not sure how to do this part but maybe the command LOOK and see if the item is in the room.
I was thinking maybe I could write a script to move on a timer if possible but then again what if there are three boxes in the room that I need to pick up and balance is 2 seconds. How would I get the time through when there are multiple boxes?

Next command is GET BOX

when the above command is executed, it will take balance.

(how do I write a script that would allow me to get box on balance and not execute this command at other times that I use balance?)

After balance comes back, I need the script to move rooms

The way the map is laid out is like a square

5 east 5 south 5 west 5 north

Then you come around to the same room you started at.

If you have any questions please let me know. I tried to include every step.

Thanks

Use the #PATH code to move around, #PAUSE when you see items to retrieve or lose balance and #RESUME when done.

Paths are either used directly, or assigned a name with the #PATH command, in this example it would translate to: .5e5s5w5n

Uses #TRIGGER for the balance messages to set a variable to 1 or 0, for other settings to know what your balance currently is. (1 is good to go)

Then your script for recognizing items would use something like this:

$item=your item here
#IF (@balance) {get $item}

As for recognizing the items and therefore when to stop.. make another variable with a list of everything you want to grab for pattern matching.

#TR {({@loot})} {#PAUSE;$item=%1;#IF (@balance) {get $item}}

#TR {balance restored message} {balance=1;#RESUME}

Well I don't mind helping, but we just need to take things one step at a time.
Have you gotten around to mapping your mud with the mapper yet?
Or turning your health or other vitals into a guage?

You are effectively wanting to make a bot of sorts.
That is advanced scripting and you need to work your way there.
It can be done.

I would suggest tackling a smaller problem for now and revisit this one when you feel more comfortable with the code.
Assuming you do want to understand the scripts you run.
