Yeah, I play a free shard so it doesn't really matter since I don't have to update my client anymore.  I just read it as the files are there, but might not work with the new client.  Thanks.

Did the download file get moved?  I can't seem to get it by clicking the link.

Just curious...

Why would you ever color bandages or faction bandages? 

I agree, if you want a %100 success and you want to color your bandages rainbow Event Property is the only 100% way of doing it.

Maybe I should look back through my script I had an issue with #property not instantly updating.  I might have overlooked something else.

If the difference in time between doing 1 finditem and a for loop with IF...ELSE isn't noticeably faster than doing 1 finditem, a for loop, 2 event properties and the IF...ELSE statements to go along with that then I would prefer going by the #Property variable.  Any Bandage script I had was always within other script and usually needed to be as quick and efficient as possible, but it doesn't matter how fast it is if it's not going to give you the result you need every time no matter what. 

Different strokes for different folks.

I had a looting script that would return $ as property every now and then and it would skip the corpse.  I put in a small wait and it seemed to fix it, but that might not have been the issue.  Why would #FINDCOL ever be wrong?  Kind of confused about that.  The Finditem has to be done regardless and all the information is there already processed so it seems redundant to do an event property on top of that.

If you use #Findcol with a IF...ELSE statement then it wouldn't matter what color you made your bandages.  I have never even seen a faction bandage, but if for some reason you color your regular bandages the same color as your faction bandages then this will give you an issue.

The IF... ELSE comment would definitely make it a better bit of code, thanks for suggesting that.

Is there a reason no one has mentioned #FINDCOL ?  This is offhand, but it would look something like this?

Finditem ZLF C_ , #backpackID
if #findkind <> -1
{
 for #findindex 1 #findcnt
 {
  if #FINDCOL = XXXX    ; I don't know the faction color offhand
   gosub FactionBandage
  if #FINDCOL = 0       ; Regular bandage
   gosub RegularBandage
 }

}

With Event Property you can easily move too fast if you have any type of lag and get a "$" (default) value meaning your script  will not see the bandage as a faction bandage.  I don't think it's going to make a huge difference in time, but I would bet #findcol is a little faster since you have to do the finditem anyway.

If you do plan on just using the #Property you might want to write in a holding sub to make sure you give the script enough time to update the variable.  It's been a while since I've written, so if something I've suggested isn't correct please correct me. 

Sub WaitForProperty
set %MaxDelay #Scnt + 2
While #Property = $ && %MaxDelay > #Scnt
wait 1
if #Property = $
 return #False
else
 return #True

Does this make sense?

You guys love computers.  I never really got crazy about the latest and greatest personal computers.   

You guys should really look at www.Arduino.cc 

It's open source hardware as well as software.  For me it closes a gap between the software and hardware in present day electronics we see and use on a daily basis. 

Has anyone messed with any project boards? (Arduino or otherwise?)

I've never been to that one before.  I am looking for sites with basic IC sets, relays, project components, ect.  I didn't see many but from what I see I like it. 

I need a new desktop computer.  Might have to do a little more research and compare prices with that site compared to others.

I don't really have a lot of knowledge since I feel like computer cards and parts are outdated so often.  Too much to keep up with.

I've been molesting an arduino board lately and thought maybe I would ask here.

I'm looking for sites to compare prices on component level stuff.

Currently I've only got these bookmarked...

Does anyone have any other decent stores?
