First script - Simple item mover

[Superslayer]

Wow Endless thanks, that cleared up a bunch for me! The library thing I had assumptions about it's purpose, but I clearly see it's use now. So in essence, everyone could have there own library to call functions from and run oeuo code. Without a library, these functions would have to be hard coded into the script.

By the way, what's with all the lowercase 'n' 's in the script such as "nSourceBag" and "nContID". Is that some kind of namespace/atom thing?

good dam question... its varialbe type nameing so i can easily see what the var holds. Lua unlike EASYUO is specific about what typ eof data a var holds

for me
n = numberic data
s = sring data
b = logical boolean data
t = table

Ok script contained a capitilazation typo .. that stopped it from working... Lua is every sensitive about that.

Picky about the operation case, yes? I saw somewhere that using the command 'lower' and 'upper' in string searching, you can ignore the case. I think it went something like:

local.lower

or

local.upper

maybe parentheses in it or bracket, ...so much to RE-learn!

But that doesnt help you when you make a Captilization typo in a varname... i had nContid instead of nContID   I editied the final posting to be correct.

Is this dependent on anything else? Like some other file needed to make it work??

It pops up a target cursor, doesn't say anything anywhere... I target my source, another target cursor pops, I target my dest, again there's absolutely no interaction. Then I target one of the items in the source and everything is moved.

Not exactly what I was looking for.

I got it. Had to rip Traegon's work because the simple task of

display ok Target this thing

Is too complicated to reproduce in OEUO. Now it's working.

lol arr yes .. good you got it .. he has given me permission to use his sub .. ill update that now so thiers less confusion.

Well i hope it helped you and others in some manner..

EN, great discussion. This kind of stuff helps me a lot and your write-up was easy to follow for me.

I'm finding a lot of structure similarities with vbscript so it's becoming less intimidating. Will start jumping in tonight I think and converting some of my standard subs.

Thanks!

I can auto convert a script for you wont be 100% ...but you might learn even more from that as you will know what all the vars mean already and can focus on pure sysntax / structure

That could be interesting. How about "SuperStuff" from my Beta section? That is just a short series of random functions. Then maybe one of my trainers, say Cartography trainer?
