ok, i'm trying to make a short sub for finding enchanted apple in main pack & eating 1. after reading as close to what i want in tutorials, other scripts, etc., i came up w/ these. any advice on how to "fix" them would be appreciated.
;=====enchanted apple sub======
findItem CBS C_ , #backpackId
if #findcnt > 0
set #lobjectID %enchantedApple
event macro 17
return
===============================
and this is the second, so whichever would be better, easier to make work, faster
;==========enchanted apple sub=====
    findItem CBS C_ , #backpackId
if #FINDCNT > 0
        {
click #findx #findy d
        } 
    return
;==================================

yes! i will be giving credit to the authors in my header if i do use their work in mine, even in parts not whole.

i'm working on a script to make ONE tinker tool, then use it, until it runs out of uses, to make smith hammers 1 at the time. (script makes 1 tinker tool, tinker tool makes 1 smith hammer, hammer makes X amt of shields until hammer expires, then script uses same st tinker tool to make another hammer) just trying to be clear as to how i want it to work. right now script makes a new tinker tool each time it wants a smith hammer. script is as follows.

End of "makes tinker tool" sub
click 28 130 dmc
wait 5
set #contPosX 0
set #contPosY 0
wait 5
click 231 131 dmc
gosub TR_waitfor_generic_gump
return

End of "Makes smith hammer" sub
gosub TR_waitfor_generic_gump
wait 10
finditem %smiths_hammer C_ , #backpackID
wait 5
until #findkind <> -1
return

ok, script makes the  hammer, uses it up, then makes a new tinker tool & then hammer. my question is: can i put this:
wait 10
finditem %tinker_tool C_ , #backpackID
wait 5
until #findkind <> -1
return
at end of tinker tool sub and it work the way i'm asking? thank you all for any advice in advance.

***UPDATE***
i haven't been able to give it an extensive test yet but so far it's made 2 smith hammers withOUT making a new tinker's tool. i also lowered the ingot pull to guarantee character doesn't become 'to encumbered to move!' whilst running script. so far it's running ok. i'll be analyzing farther down now and trying to learn more so i can incorporate it all into my script.
By the way, TM, i AM using scriptUO to view/ analyze scripts now. it really is helpful. sub breakdown, colored fonts, etc., very nice job man!

Trailmyx, first off, let me say the Claw looks awesome! i downloaded it, got it opened, and i began reading the pages of posts, hoping to find a 'setup guide' for it. when i saw the thread has over 50 pages, i decided to post here for help. i'm not shy about admitting the few scripts i've run in the past were almost 'plug & play' types. If someone could link me to a Claw setup/ users guide,  i'd be most appreciative.

thanks for the help in advance!!

This tutorial is for those already in possession of the 'keys' and have entered the 'arena'.

we usually use 4 or 5 Mystic spellweavers and having ventrilo, teamspeak, or such is very beneficial. Since Exodus has no slayer everyone having SDI suits/ spellbooks and naturally a 6 power 'circle' to begin.
once in the arena, run down the hill and stop before the 'square' in which Exodus spawns. cast paralyze fields at least 5 rows deep (east to west) and then 'arc emp' (arcane empowerment) and pre-cast a 'RC' (rising colossus) and (only 1 does this, the others have rc's waiting) run forward to spawn Exodus & 'drop' your rc at his feet. then haul ass back thru the waiting para fields   we learned that paralyze, mass sleep, sleep are all useless on Exodus but para fields work well. some tried to use energy fields but those not only block your rc but can block you as well and that can be disaster in the making.
ok, you got Exodus spawned, got fields & rc going, but his  lifebar isn't turning red in a great hurry, what's wrong??  well, he's paragon 'coded' and the rc's are merely distractions to keep him off the real players / attackers.  he likes to hit what hits him last so rc's are great to hit him quick right after you unleash an E-bolt, hailstorm, flamestrike, etc.. teamwork is KEY here. while 1 person fields, another makes sure at least 1 rc is up but try to keep 2-3 going at all times, and someone finds which element the Exodus has spawned weak against. some times it's cold, others it's energy, and so on. so you keep the para fields & rc's up, and everyone casts on him with whatever is hitting hardest. IMPORTANT: only use direct damage spells when fields & rc's are up. otherwise you'll end up having to run around, dragging Exodus w/ you.
Now, w/ the spellweavers having a 6 power focus, Word of Death (WoD) can hit for mega damage at 30% life. again, IMPORTANT note: this is where voice chat is super beneficial. you want to coordinate the attack so at least 2 players cast para fields while 2 or 3 are WoD'n him. if the wizards are setup extremely well and have 17-20 mana regen then the ones WoD'n cast 2-3x each and then switch to casting parafields and the fielders switch to WoD. rinse & repeat til he hits the ground
if all goes well, this scenario shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, 20 at most. the +5 stat scroll has been awarded to 1-4 players per run using this technique and as many as 6 players have confirmed drops in a single run. we've also noticed that the drops seem more plentiful the faster Exodus is killed. if the run takes more than 30 minutes, only 2-3 players get a drop usually.
i've seen sampires, throwers, tamers, archers, and bards all work this instance but for consistent, quick work of it, this is what we've found works best for everyone to get a drop, or at least a chance at one. if you've got a team where someone is willing to field for a thrower or archer, and doesn't care about a drop, sure, you can work it a little faster. this is not a method for speedy kills or hardest hits. this is for a team to all benefit equally.
as a side note: using this method, doing no more than 3-4 runs per day it took me 10 days to get all 14 of my toons (2 active accts) a +5 stat scroll & a box of the other drops.
if anyone has a different method, especially for 1-2 players working it, i'd love to hear it !!

PS: for the ever hungry for karma sampires, get a single set of keys, party w/ anyone else in game, and go to a shrine and use your set of keys. you'll get the +12,000 karma gain and not have to do Exodus. yes, necromancers can do it also for the -12,000 karma loss

 Ok, about me, here goes!  my standard greeting, in r/l & UO is always 'morning' no matter the time of day, and my fav color is purple. i've been playing UO (OSI servers only) since Jan 2001. i'm a retired ironworker from the southeast U.S.A.. don't let 'retired' fool ya, i'm about to turn 46 in August. i've dabbled using EasyUO, mainly for looting, but looking to broaden my horizons a bit and see what else is 'out there'. i'm 99% pure pvm'er, don't care about pvp at all. thanks for the space, the program, the scripts, and keep up the great work. peace!
**UPDATED**
i kinda jumped right in, gave a very limited & brief 'intro' and thought the moderators aren't really reading these things & grading us. this ain't highschool! LOL, after going thru the 'this is a good example' i found out how wrong i was!!
to get in depth about my UO, i'm a hard core, semi-professional skill trainer. i've actually trained approximately 125 characters (not skills, fully trained 7xGM, 6x120, etc, characters)  i've charged $50 for skills going to GM or less and $75 for skills 120. i can normally do a character in 4-5 days depending on the skill sets and i'm a very avid user of UO Assist and 8x8 macroer (purely for the UOA loop ability). about a year ago a friend talked me into trying EasyUO for some skill training and since i had limited experience using EUO for looting i decided to give it a try. i was truly impressed with the scripts i tried. no longer did i have to set a loop on a mage & check it 2 hours later to setup the 'next' spell. the scripts did it all !!
the player base in UO has become stagnant and i no longer have any requests for making characters so i've begun to branch out into parts of UO i've never played much. on my 'home' shard i have a dozen characters, all trained for specific jobs, and i'm very adept at playing them. old school t-hunter (provo mage) that i solo level 6 & 7 t-maps, mystic bard for soloing navrey quickly, legendary tamer (because everybody has to prove their insanity in UO LOL), i like to believe i began the Mystic, Mage, Spellweaver PvM craze immediately following the launch of Stygian Abyss, (nobody else had SW at the time hardly and i tested it on TC1 in Ilshenar on para bally & para bloods &  knew it was going to be an awesome skill combo. same reason i built a 120 mystic 120 bard (4x120 bard skills) because peace & disco teamed w/ a colossus is just insanely powerful in the PvM aspect) this all brings me to where i am now in my UO. an old friend, who religously plays dexxers like i love my wizards, talked me into building a 'sampire' about 4-5 yrs ago. he gave me the template, verbatim, and i reluctantly started it. he decided UO was boring and he jumped ship to that silly mmorpg called WoW for a few years and i was left w/o a 'mentor' so i put my sampire on the shelf. about 6-7 months ago he (friend) came back to UO (seems they all do that, huh?) and asked me if i'd ever finished the sampire. well, he was truly surprised when i told him another dexxer player had given me some pointers, i managed to get a great suit, and i'd actually solo'd medusa a bunch of times. well, nothing would do but for my friend to take me & my sampire onn a whirlwind tour of all the old Mondain's Legacy areas peerless! i've had to train mace fighting to swap it w/ swords for certain peerless and i've had my  share of looking thru a black & white screen in the learning curve but i've managed to solo dreadhorn, paroxysmus, travesty, Lady M, and my latest achievement is Doom Gauntlet.
i'm not the best UO player, nor do i aspire to be, but i've actually loved the various 'games' of Ultima since i 1st played Ultima: Exodus in the fall of 1986. i love the challenge of beating the 'game', not other players. hence, i am merely a PvM'er, and though i do Fel champ spawns & harrowers, i only PvP if i have to. i enjoy helping other players, newbies or veterans, because i don't think any one person can 'know' all of UO. there's just too much to it!!
if i can help anyone else enjoy UO, don't hesitate to message me w/ your questions, if i don't know the answer, we'll hunt it down together! any suggestions, tips, and ideas are welcome also!! remember in UO, if you're not dying, you're not trying!!
