forage.mac - The stupidest looking forage macro yet.

[Preocts]

fuck it

[shadowdragon]

not sure what i'm doing incorrectly, but i copy/pasted your code into a notepad file, saved it as forage.mac in the macros folder. when i type /macro forage.mac ingame, it says "the current macro has ended" and that's it. i seriously know nothing of coding for the macros and don't know what to do to fix it.

Damnit Preocts you didn't spoon feed everything to these people! WTF!@!@

Code: Select all

/declare IniFileName string outer ${Me.Name}_IniFile.ini

So in your case shadowdragon, it would be:

NOOB_IniFile.ini

Inside that INI file i am going to guess is should look like this:

Code: Select all

[Global]
Rabbit Meat=0
Plains Pebble=-1
Pod of Water=20

If not Preocts will tellz you!

Edit: fixed

robdawg: huh?

Shadow: Fixed the problem. Had a check there to see if the option for auto-forage was enabled and, of course, that was completely dependant on the rest of my macro being present. Removed it.

All:
There are no /echo's that will tell you this macro is currently running. It runs 100% quitely. If you want noise then add this to your ini file.

WhoEver_IniFile.ini

Code: Select all

[Settings]
Noise=1

[robdawg]

Looked through the macro real quickly. Does it create the actual INI file for you if it doesn't exist? If so cool, and disregard by previous post. :)

[shadowdragon]

trying that now, thank you for the help

[Preocts]

We're all cross posting. How fun.

Interestingly enough you pointing out the problem fixed a few problems I was having with my personal macro. Completely unrelated to foraging but had to do with the fact that certain key option variables were global and not outer. heh. Yay.

/kneel, /grovel, /thank!!! it works PERFECTLY with the code change! thank you thank you thank you!!!

maybe someday in between time spent with kids and taking care of other things i'll have time to learn how to do all this from scratch, until then you all are the best for putting up with my Noobishness and helping me out. thanks very much for the code and the time, it's really appreciated.

edit: good question, do i need to manually create each char_inifile.ini or will it create them per char when using this macro?

[Preocts]

If you want to start learning this stuff DON'T use this as your example.

Use this one instead. ROFLMAO

Code: Select all

#Event Pocket "#*#You have scrounged#*#"

Sub Main
  :KeepsGoing

    /if (${Me.AbilityReady["Forage"]}) {
        /delay 5
        /doability "Forage"
        /delay 5
    }

  /doevents  
  /delay 1s
  /goto :KeepsGoing
/return

Sub Event_Pocket
  /delay 1s
  /echo Pocketing << ${Cursor.Name} >> for future enjoyment.
  :Going
    /autoinventory
    /delay 5
    /if (${Cursor.ID}) /goto :Going
/return

soooooo much simpler. Though I think even Oid would shudder at this small one. His would more likely be:

Code: Select all

  Sub Main
    :Loop
      /if (${Me.AbillityReady[Forage]}) {
        /doability Forage
        /delay 1s
        /autoinventory
      }
     /goto :Loop
  /return

hmmm... still 9 lines long.... I'm sure he could do it in 5.

/edit: good question, do i need to manually create each char_inifile.ini or will it create them per char when using this macro?

Everything will be created by the macro if it doesn't already exist. What to use one inifile for all your toons? Remove the ${Me.Name}_ part of the /declare statement.




((whew, rakin up the post counts today!))

kk, thank you for the info! run a few different foragers on the 3 computers i have, good to know!!

EAT GLASS AND DIE

I find it ironicly humorous that you doubled posted your flame at a double post.... but you can still die.
