using #WA in an alias
|
trying to learn how to write an alias script using lua in the package editor with a function like #WA
#WA 2000 is suppose to send a command to wait for 2 seconds. I understand you can type these directly into the command line box, but
when putting them into a script using the package editor, I cannot make it work.
so if I have the following, where I want to pause for 2 seconds in between to commands:
1 send("put lockpick in pack ")
2
3 send("put strongbox in pack ")
how would I type in ' wait for 2 seconds' on line 2. |

Sounds like you have the language set to other than zScript.
P.S. You can have a block of lua code in your script with the #LUA command. |

I'm no LUA expert, I have imported some settings that use a mix of normal zscript and LUA.
Example:
| Code: |
#if (%1 = "reset") {
xpstats.xpgained=0
killlist=""
xrounds=0
#lua {zs.var.combatsecondsreset=os.time(t)}
totalgold=0
} {
#show " Kill Listings "
#show " Mob Name Xp"
#show ""
killlist2=(@killlist)
#loop %eval( %numitems( @killlist)/2) {#show %format( "&20s &1s &7.0f", %pop( killlist2), ":", %pop( killlist2))}
#show ""
#show " Xp Summary "
#show " Xp Gained : "@xpstats.xpgained" "
#show " Xp per Mob : "%eval( @xpstats.xpgained/%eval( %numitems( @killlist)/2))" "
#show " Xp per Round : "%eval( @xpstats.xpgained/@xrounds)" "
#show " Xp per Hour : "%eval(@xpstats.xpgained/(@xrounds*2)*1800)" "
#show " Mobs Killed : "%eval(%numitems(@killlist)/2)""
#show " Rounds per Mob : "%eval(@xrounds/%numitems(@killlist/2))""
#lua {zs.var.currenttime=os.time(t);zs.var.cefficiency=(((zs.var.xrounds*2)/(zs.var.currenttime-zs.var.combatsecondsreset))*100)}
#show " Combat Efficiency : "%format(2.0,@cefficiency)%""
#lua {zs.var.goldperhour=(zs.var.totalgold/(zs.var.currenttime-zs.var.combatsecondsreset))*3600}
#show " Gold / (per hr) : "@totalgold "/" %int(@goldperhour)
#show ""
} |
with a trigger to count rounds of combat, and another trigger to add 'mob killed' and 'exp gained' to the killlist var.
Just a stab in the dark but maybe creating a function like
| Code: |
function sleep(s)
local ntime = os.time() + s
repeat until os.time() > ntime
end |
again no expert... |

Thanks for the quick responses.
Creating that function sleep.....where would I put it? Would it become a separate script somewhere
like a variable or something? A trigger?
I tried something simular in the alias I was referencing that I was trying to write and CMUD broke my
little code into 3 subsections and well, it still didnt work. |

the function code I used was just a copy paste from a google search I found on creating a sleep/wait/pause in LUA. I personally know jack about LUA code or it's core functions so I really doubt that my sample as posted would work, but I could be wrong...
Someone with way more experience would have to chime in on that particular stuff to clarify... I was just mainly trying to show that you can use a mix of zScript and LUA in an alias script like in my main code box. |
