Title: script idea
Post by: biggoodjohn on October 18, 2009, 06:08:02 AM

I've searched the boards, and haven't found a script to create and stack recall scrolls.  I may be the only one who needs this, so I'm not sure if it'd be helpful.  I've never written a script, so if someone would be willing to help me develop this, and walk me through it step by step, I'd be very grateful.  Also, you might help me become a contributing member of this site.

John this is actually the first script I ever wrote years ago when we first started playing. I never published it but it was rather easy to write. Of course I've lost it two or 3 computers ago.
I think you could take the inscription trainer form EUO and hash it up to something passable if you wanted to also.

I appreciate the help, but I'm not sure if you realize, I don't know how to even begin.  Fortunately, I follow instructions well, but I learn best by doing it.  I'm thinking of this as a project just to learn how scripting even works.  I've used some, but haven't a clue on what happens in them.

BigJohn,

I have never posted a script before either, but I saw your post and thought it might be something we could both learn from.  I put together the attached script based on your request and thought maybe you and I could work together on it to learn something.  I have not done any testing yet -- have not even tried to run it, so it may not work.

I am thinking of the following as ways we could build on this:

1. We could use offset clicks instead of direct clicks to make the script more stable and usable;
2. We could build in options for users to select different scrolls to make
3. We could build a menu system for user input.
4. We could do some other stuff you think of.

What do you think of starting with this and turning it into a scribe utility script as a learning project?

Let me know what you think.

-P

Heya Bigjohn :)

Did you read the Cerveza tutorials in the tutorial section? They are really helpful and they give a great insight of how to start out.
