Title: Very new to scripting and i have a question
Post by: warrenotto on February 19, 2013, 09:34:46 PM

Hey everyone,
I've been interested in learning basic scripting for a while. Got busy with life for a bit so never really got started nor do I even know where to really start. I'm not expecting to become a master scripter as i know zero about it right now. But I think i can learn how to write simple scripts.

Anyways I have a question and maybe a good spot to start my learning adventure. I'm using a mining script on the server I play. I'm having trouble where my character gets stuck dragging ore on a forever loop, I'm assuming that lag spikes are causing it. I can manually fix this by closing my main pack and reopen it and the script will continue. Although this requires me to sit there and keep an eye on it.

How can i write a super simple background script to:

Close main pack
reopen main pack
pause 10 minutes
loop.

Or if you don't wanna give it up so easy, where can I learn how to write that as a script.


Thanks!

Hi there,

I would take a little time to look around, and use the search feature on the euo wiki.  I've learned loads there just by wandering around.

But for what you are wanting to do there, I would take a look at this page.

Good luck with your project.
