Trapped Chest Healing Trainer

[Cerveza]

Goal: To use a dart trapped chest to sustain damage, and then use bandages to heal the damage. Must grab bandages from a secure or bank when the char runs out.

Flow:

Check for bandages, if not found then check the open containers, if not found then display a smart alec remark and halt
- drag bandages from container to backpack

Check hit points. If current hit points are less then maximum hit points - oh say 5 or so, then apply a bandage on self and wait for it to complete.
If hit points are greater then maximum - 5 then double click the trapped crate to take damage so you can heal it.

Setup:

Identify the trapped crate, Identify what bandages are.

Check for near by healers incase of accident.

Please note that this post is in the "Scripting Tutorials" section. It's not an evaluation of what training method works best or alternate methods.

It's about using a dart trapped box to lower your hit points, then use bandages to heal, dragging more bandages from a secure container or the bank when needed.

Okay Cerv i used your script and rearanged how it functions This is not my script it was originaly written by cerveza all cudos and props goes to him i only modified it for tutitorial purposes all credit goes to cerv

ive got this functioning but i need to increase the wait time before it tried to use another bandage

sub heal
finditem %bandage C_ , #backpackID
if #findCnt = 0
  {
    finditem ZLF C_ ; , %storage
    if #findCnt = 0
      {
        msg Halt #time
        HALT
      }
    exevent drag #findID 500
    wait 10
    exevent dropC #backpackID
    wait 10
  }
set #lobjectId #findId
event macro 17
target 3s
set #ltargetId %secondary
event macro 22 0
wait 3s make changes to this line
return
You change wait 3s to 5s depending on what your dex is and the script will funtion as intended

If you use journal scanning, then you can really optimize the delays.  The script can react exactly when the bandage is done.  Just a suggestion.

sugestions welcome sir but im noob when it comes to scripting and cerv is trying to teach me the basics.  I lerned alot from his chalange it realy made me examine his script and try and figure out what each thing does i guess u could say i have lerned basic flow of the script what each thing does

[Cerveza]

Event macro 22 0 is to target yourself, so thats where it's actually applying the bandage. Right after that is a wait... that would be the wait before continuing with the script.

Just look at what you have there, that's pretty much the entire bandage portion already complete!

[TrailMyx]

Ah well it's definitely a good start.  First thing is just to get a script out there.  After that you can start addressing the other issues that come up as the script runs.  One of those is timing.  Scripts that are completely dependent on just waiting set times can be unstable as they are run from shard to shard.  But if you can make your scripts react to events, then you really open up the possibility for it to run more reliable in lots of different conditions.

Cerveza is a big advocate for the journal and a great resource to learn and grow your knowledge.  I was just stealing a bit of his thunder. 

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

i added the wait from 3 seconds to 5 seconds have been running the script about 15 minutes know still going strong

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

i edited some of my post to reflect the changes
