As I understand things better, I can get closer and closer to writing my own subs. The sub that I was originally using was my own mishmash, I was trying to incorporate different things that I found when looking for findcol. When you showed me how to do the findcol, I tried to incorporate that into my original clear pack. Thats the good and bad thing about coding. Due to the programming rules, there are only so many ways to do something original but at the same time, because of that, people can look and see what others have done. It wasn't too long ago that I had no idea what %1 %2 etc meant but now I totally get it. Before looking at the sub you wrote for findcol, I did not know that you could set things as !color !container etc. I also understand the easyuo wiki better though many of their examples are too simplistic to help much.
My goal as I get better is to one day soon, write all subs and a script from scratch without looking at anything that anyone has done including myself. I try not to just look at something and use it, but adapt it to fit my needs and learn from it as well. I quickly found I was in over my head with a miner program so I am going to start small. My next project will be to write a new buying program to recall and buy from vendors. What I hope to do is plan out all my subs in an outline to see what I will need and then start making them one at a time from scratch and see how I can do. Then I am going to try and swap them in other working scripts that I have to test them. Once they are working, make a sub library for myself to borrow from to craft new things. I may not write a bunch of scripts that have not been done before but hopefully they will work better than older ones due to changes and people will want to use mine. I have a lot of big plans and looking forward to getting them started. I am so proud of my legendary scribe script right now because I know how much I have had to work I had to put in to trouble shoot problems, especially since it is so big. One day I may be able to use only subs from my library to make it better and shorter!! I know I am thinking ahead of my skills right now but I will get there!!
