Dropg tutorial help

[baldielocks]

Been working a very tiny script, and reading the wiki. I am having a problem with exevent dropg. I looked at other scripts that use this command, and cannot figure out what i am doing wrong. I can get it to drag #findid and #findstack, but it sticks on cursor. Using dropc to debug.

Code: [Select]

Finditem EEG C_ , #backpackid ; hides in pack
exevent Drag #findid #findstack
wait 10
exevent Dropg #charposx #charposy #charposz ;put on ground from easyuo wiki
wait 10
exevent Dropc C_ ; clears cursor as debug
halt

baldie there's some issues with the exevent dropc commands atm.  Not sure if dropg is affected or not...  CEO over at EUO is looking into it I believe.

dropg has been busted for ages

Heh I've never even tried to use it.

Is dropg to drop to the ground?  I have forgotten

[Endless Night]

dropg  works (ignoring any recent patch issues).... The problem is you cannot drop under your feet on OSI.  The example on EUO only works on freeshards.

You must drop on a possition other than charpox/y   ie +1

2nd problem you will encounter is that you dont know the z axis at any spot other than your feet you also dont know if any of the surrounding are squares terrian features such as walls etc

In my scripts i have gotten arround this by looping though  x-1 y-1 to x+1 y+1 attempting to drop as long as the item keeps rebounding to pack.

[baldielocks]

thanks endless. How would you accomplish that? I assume find kind greater than one, but cannot see a way to increment it.

The dropg method from the EUO wiki DOES work on RunUO shards so it makes it really easy to drop things at your feet.  OSI is a different story.

dropg has been working.  Just remember: You can't stack items higher than 15 on the ground.  If you stay in one place, that can be an issue.

Take a look at this script that I use to drop blackrock.  Since blackrock doesn't ever go away, you don't have to use lockdowns to store it.  I used the attached script to create the mess in the picture.  The script is buggy and needs some refinement, but it works on DropG.

-P

I like to put my blackrock in a box, then hatchet it.  Much neater.

Just don't accidentally hit your old Armageddon spell macro when you're nearby.  Ouchy.

*EDIT* most problems resolved, see debug request thread
Okay, got most of my subs working for this. Object is to drop leather in a single stack on ground. If no current stack on ground, create new stack. At 58 K (15 in script for testing), it will cut leather and drop in pack. Once I get that smooth, will put in a BOS sub to send to bank.

Problem right now, the last sub cut_hides wont stop running. I have been putting in some if #finditem < 0 checks, but it is not helping. Could I get some guidance please?
A semi- problem is that it is grabbing leather from corpses and putting it on ground. I like this, but I think it might interefer with looters.
*script inspired by tm_logstoboards and S7's cut large leather stack (http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=148691#148691)
