interesting.  The first time I ran this I could have sworn it added the %maxregsneeded on top of what I already had in my pack.  I'll fart around with yours and see if I can make it do the same thing.  I might have just imagined it by looking at the reg count.   

I wanted to make my own for a while so when I noticed this it reminded me.


so I just ran it over and over and it seems like it is solid.  I think I might have imagined it or something.  I like it.

I'll try this out.  I'm still living in the dark ages and use regs. 

I have an EV script I have written that I am constantly trying to make better.  I replaced all the target [seconds] with this while/scan journal stuff...


  ReCastInvis:
   set %jindex #Jindex + 2    ;sets spot to start the Jornal Scanning
   event macro 15 43          ;cast Invis
    while #targcurs = 0        ;While (Until) the spell is being cast does the brackets
    {
     scanjournal              ;Reads the jornal
     if thy_spell in #journal ;If "Thy Spell" is in jornal recast spell and start over
     goto ReCastInvis         ;Goes back up to cast the spell again
     if Spell_Fizzles in #journal ;checks if you fizzle spell
     goto ReCastInvis         ;Goes back up to cast the spell again
     wait 5
    }[/b]
  event macro 23              ;target self
  wait 1s                     ;waits 2 second
  }
 Return
It's getting the job done, but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.  The timers worked good, but I noticed if I was trying to cast a spell and got fizzled it had to wait for the target timer to time out until it tried again. 

This is my first time using scan journal.  It seems a bit unstable and not very efficient in the way I'm using it.

Thanks for any help. 





 

Hey ST,

I like it... Yeah I could have guessed Oceaneering since its a monster... I used to work for Schlumberger for about 1.5 years but went overseas with another company. I quit last april and been semi-retired ever since lol. How do you like the gulf? I've got lots of friends working down there offshore (people i met through SLB)

-K

I like the gulf.  I like the whole life style too.  I get to go work 7/12's for a month, then come home for a month and screw around.  Oceaneering is definitly a beast, but seriously they really treat thier employees good.  I'm waiting to go back out now, so if I just randomly stop talking it's just that I'm offshore, not that I can't stand this site anymore and CStalker said something horrible to me.

Back to work on a script!

Hey ST, welcome to the site! I used to MWD/DD oversees as well... now I just sit at home and play Ultima.. sad lol

Cool.  I'm working for Oceaneering.  I still have to sit at the unofficial contractor table in the cafateria, so I don't get to small stalk with you guys much.   I'm basicly a monkey with a wrench and Multi-meter right now.  I actually have a story I think I'll share with you.  (never thought I'd be telling a story like this on a forum about video game scripting)

  My first hitch I was on a TLP out in the Gulf and it was being towed in to replace some anchor winches after a big storm.  Since we were going to the dock they decided it would be a good time to pull our system off and repair/paint the deck and get a new ROV system installed.  We were pulling wires and dismantling our whole wench system (3 man team) when some 20 something year old engineer came walking up behind me and my supervisor.  My supervisor was 61 and had been in this company, and offshore, for over 20 years.  As you can imagine, any young engineer would have a lot of problems with this guy.  So anyway, this kid was sitting back about 10 foot watching us break these 2 1/2 in. nuts which had 10 years of paint and generally just a pain in the @ss to get off.  So we're stuggling and the supervisor grabs his trusty cheater pipe.  I take a look at him, then I look at the smart kid, then I can't help but start to smile.  My supervisor, who hardly noticed the engineer, went on using the cheater to break the nuts loose.  After about the 3rd one the kid finally get's up the nerve and says, "Hey, you know Cheater Pipes are not allowed on the rig.  You can't use that."  My Supervisor, already annoyed at this general situation, turns around and I swear he was about to punch this kid.  He starts argueing with him saying something along the lines of...  "You don't know *bleep* from Apple butter so go back to your desk you pink fingered desk lizard."  I butt in and say, "You know Andy, he's right.  It said on the pamplet when we got here we can't use these."  Then I turn to him and say, "Do you think you could give us a hand?  We're not able to get these things off without the pipe on it."  So this kid grabs the ratchet and gets into position.  We back up and watch in amusement, we were needed a break anyway.   He's about 6 foot tall, but couldn't have been over 150.  He wasn't able to move it at all obviously.  We just looked at him and shrugged our shoulders.  He gave me back the ratchet and faded off behind us and eventually out of the area.  We ended up using the cheater pipe.  It wasn't the safe thing to do, but regardless it still made me laugh later.

I actually talked to the kid later on that week.  (I call him a kid, but I'm actually only 27.  It makes the story better when I say it like that.) He wasn't half bad of a guy.  I did 4 years in the Marine Corps so seeing this kind of situation again really made me feel comfortable for some reason.  I had never really met anyone who worked Offshore when I wasn't doing it myself.  Once I started working offshore I seem to meet a lot of people who, "Did it for a while."  It's like when you first get a new car, you had never noticed anyone else driving that kind until you started driving it, then everyone and thier brother drives one.

Well, that's all for my story time for now. 

 

Hello ScriptUO.  I'm here to introduce myself and become a part of the community.  Like a lot of you here probably, I'm a game nerd.  I spend most of my time drinking coffee and playing this outdated game or posting about this outdated game.  I play on Alexandria, EasyUO's free shard, and a little on RWR Freeshard.  A current member over here (CStalker) was tired of listening to me talk so he told me I should go read this site because I'm annoying and he really needed a break.  I decided it was a very interesting site and I'm interested in what I've read so far.  (Interface looks pretty interesting)
I tinker around with scripts and enjoy watching them do my bidding.  I script and have a basic understanding of the language. 

I work offshore as a Electronics Technician (ROV Tec).  I've been doing it for about 6 months now.  I really enjoy my job.  Other than UO I also enjoy sailing.  I lived on a sailboat up until recently, it was lost during Hurricane Ike.  I hope to be welcomed into the community.  If CStalker says anything about me don't listen to him he's full of crap. (unless it's good, then everything he says is true)

Talk to you guys soon!
