Can I cut snippets and paste here, with a little editing and help from community in piecing it together. Or is that stealing peoples work (because i post it publicly mainly)
If this is acceptable - I need to move this post to scripting help forum?
Sure, but make a separate thread. You can put a link to the thread here with an explanation just in case someone is curious, but since this thread is getting pretty long, let's try to keep things separate. Just post in
Scripting Debug.
The main reason for my fears is the CLAw sets itself up with #FINDIDs, targets, etc *once* before loot evaluation occurs. It doesn't recheck this stuff, so if you break out to go do something else, you're not guaranteed to have the looter back in a "known" state when you want to continue. Heck, you won't even know if the container is open. So there many things you'll have to think through in order to satisfy the looters ability to just take back up once you're done trying to survive.
Most people don't mind using their snippets in your scripts. Just be sure to give them credit if you do. Some don't want their stuff used either, but generally they have that disclaimer in their code somewhere.
