I use protection on some sampires, on others I don't depending on what I'm doing.  So I can't really make it rely 100% on protection, and even so, you can still get mana vamped or froze I believe. Which needs checked.  Buff bar don't work for curse weapon either which sucks ;/.  Though I do use it for str/agil, bloodoath.  I already scan the spell icons for all toggleable spells.

I like having 2/6 or 2/0 casting, and there's a template I run that also has resist, so protection is bleh for that.  The reason he's setup that way is because I often get stuck pvping on him, and the fc & resist helps.

The script now is written so it does not override what the player is doing, if he's actually there.  So if I get stuck having to fight some OJ, I can swap to my bokuto & bone harvy and fight, and the script won't keep lightning striking, whirlwinding, momentum striking etc. monsters.

On slashers also there was times I needed to cast my curse weapon FAST, and dropping protection for casting & resist helped a ton.  It really reduced my chances to die.

The first thing that comes to mind, is mana.  But on a wammy/sampire that could be fightning dozens of casters a mana vamp, feeblemind, mana leech from weapon could screw that up.

Right now I'm dealing with curse weapon.

I have a timer for curse weapon, when systime > timer, it casts (If mana > required).  From there my journal subs will find the curse weapon and set the casting active as true & sets a casting timer by systime.  If systime gets greater than the timer, and the following journal entries were not found, it deems the curse weapon as successful and resets the curse weapon timer.  Journal entries that deem curse weapon as a fail would be, Insufficent mana (Mana vamped, or somehow lost it before script casted...), Spell Fizzles (you were mana vamped while casting, paralyzed, or just failed/fizzled).

I thought that I could check for karma loss to tell it that curse weapon was also successful, but if you're killing something like pixies, it could mess with the script...

Anyone else have any other ideas to make it reliable?

I'm sure there's a TON of pretty powerful scripts out there, whether they're insane money makers, give an unfair advantage in certain aspects of the game, or just all out cruise control mode useful.  I'm also pretty sure there's a lot of just generally helpful scripts, but don't really fall into the above statement, that aren't shared because people just don't see why they should bother sharing with the general public.

I've been wanting to share my work again, but it either falls into the first statement, or the second.  It's not that I don't like sharing my work with others, but there's people who kind of ruin it for others I suppose, and maybe it's wrong of me to not share with anyone, because of some.  On my shard, there's a lot of people who have a dislike for myself, and direct friends.  Now those players also manage to convince the majority that are aligned with them, to share the same dislike, and in many cases turn it into hatred.  Hand fulls of them use my scripts without knowing, and a decent amount use them knowingly.  There's ones who use my scripts, have thanked me on boards in the past, but also find it necessary to call me a cheater in game (that's wording it lightly.... lol) knowing who I am, but very little about what I do (But still love to make accusations.).

So I'm at the point where "why should I share anything, that they could get their hands on?". 

That's where I stand with my scripts, and the distribution of them.  I'm wondering if there's a pretty decent amount of others who feel the same.  I've been contemplating sharing my current project, but the only reason I can find to do so, is the help I've received here, but I'm not sure it out weighs the fact that I'd be sharing it potentially with the people who are just plain douche bags.

lol... wow.

i gave up like 20 minutes ago and seeing it be something that stupid makes me want to take a break for a few days lol...

sorry for all the stupid questions/problems lately...

any idea why this wont work?  i think i'm doing it wrong.

i set %fastlpc & %normallpc when the script starts, and change it on the menu.

this is what i'm calling for save:
  gosub TM_NGFS_InitializeScript OMGPVM generic
   gosub TM_RegisterVariable OMGPVM std std fastlpc
   gosub TM_RegisterVariable OMGPVM std std normallpc
   gosub TM_NGFS_SaveVariables OMGPVM

this is what i'm calling for load:
  gosub TM_NGFS_InitializeScript OMGPVM generic
   gosub TM_NGFS_LoadVariables OMGPVM

it wouldn't save/load properly, so i opened the viewer and it shows this:
left list, show:
generic_OMGPCM_vars
right list, variable view|all:
-1--1--1 = !-1
-1--1--1 = !-1

I've tried to delete the FS entry, and redo it but can't get it to work lol.  I can get the save/load per character, per namespace working everytime though.

There it is:

Code: [Select]

gosub TM_RegisterVariable std std newvar  ; denotes a %var

Right when you register.

yes i saw that too.  i figure i can store some variables that are global to all characters in standard variables, rather than the namespaces i suppose, such as menu positions, global time counts etc.  this is some really crazy useful subs.  i'm going to have to rewrite what i've done on my plant script to support these, when i ever feel like finishing it, if ever lol.

hopefully i wont have many more questions   i tried to read through the 8 or so pages on this topic, but i skimmed it pretty fast looking for things that caught my eye.

well this should work perfect for me.
i've got a bunch of character specific variables based on their desktop setup because of some pixel scanning, but ill also have some variables that all characters should be able to access, like monster database, rails, rules, etc.
i think these subs will help very nicely.  the only thing now that's keeping me from using them, is converting the junk i wrote earlier, to use the namespaces like Twinkle McNugget showed me...  since namespaces are new, i'm having quite the time figuring out when to push/pop and all.  a lot of trial and error but i finally got it to start from the main namespace, then to another, then another, and restore back to the main as it finishes each one.  i think i shall re-read your post.  i just reread the easyuo ones, but they arn't all that great. lol.  sorry for the OT babble ;p
