Void Orb Factory

[Paulonius]

This script does pretty much what it says. I wanted some Void Orbs for making stuff and figured I should write a routine for it.

The minimum skills to make Void Orbs are 90 tinker and 80 magery.  I recommend you have GM tinker and a tali to bring you to 100% success rate. Even at 100% you sometimes fail and chew up more black pearls.

To run this script you need:

dark saphires in a secure you can reach
50-75 black pearls in the secure for every dark saphire you want to turn into a void orb
a few hundred ingots in your secure for making tinker kits
a tinker kit in your backpack  

This process burns a TON of black pearls and it will not stop running until it exhausts resources in the secure. Don't put more resources in the top level of your secure than you want to use.

I will update to make the script more user friendly, add offset clicks and such in the near future.

Cheers!

-P

*BTW, this is my first crappy script. If you have any helpful criticism, I would be happy to hear it.

Update: The script was not working and I found some typos that were causing it t hang. Fixed these and it now runs. Sorry about that.

I am going to give this a try Paul.  What do we need and where do we need the items so we know how to setup for this script.  Always need a short explanation for each script.

.... helpful criticism ....

- I like it .. it is easy to read and to follow ... keep it that way 
  a few people .. don't like gotos .. I don't care as long as it works


a few things I would like to say, but this is just my opinion

- be careful with setting the wait time to  1, player with higher ping rates might be in trouble with this

- btw wait times .. i like to define a few different Wait vars within the header .. so it is easier to tweak later
  eg Wait for Event Macro, Wait for Drag, Wait for Drop ....

- ExEvent's without propper Wait often cause trouble !

- OFFSET clicks .. as you said would be a good idea .. just in csae someone moves the gumps

- WaitGump Failsafe .. how about changing to wait a shorter time .. if it isn't working ..
  try to open Gump again instead of stop the script ?

-     finditem %ingot C_ , %ResourceSecure
         if #findstack < 25 ( 25 - %ingotsinbag )
            {
            display You have used up all of your ingots.
            halt
            }
   eg
   you have .. 20 Ingots in your Backpack ... so you need to grab 5 to get back on 25 in backpack...
   so you check your ResourceBox and you see there are only 20 left .... enough to fulfill the needs but
   you script stops :-)

- I like version numbers in FileNames to make it easier to handle different versions and to easily see
   what is what ... While in Beta I just use build numbers ... later versions ...

- also always a good idea to check, if the char is still alive (#CHARGHOST) and logged in (#CLILOGGED)
   ... just to make sure the script is not messing around

Keep going ... and have fun

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.   

Nice job Paul.   I'd try it but have no need yet, but I looked at it and it looks nice!

[NObama]

Hah!  I thought this was going to be a script to farm void demons....

 

[Paulonius]

Sorry to disappoint.   I figure I should start with something a little less exciting for my first attempt.

[Coragin]

good idea buddy!  Void Orbs are needed

[Paulonius]

The original peice of junk I posted didn't run. Not sure how I missed the typos or didn't test enough to find them, but it now runs.

[Paulonius]

Updated the craft gump for publish 65.

STILL HAS ISSUES.    to  fast of a  timer for most  connections..    change to 2.    problems  with getting   ingredients form secure..    needs  revamped..

[Paulonius]

I will take a look at it this week. What was the problem you saw in getting resources?

[slyone]

I'm going to give this one a try.  I'll let you know how it goes, thanks!

[Petkiller]

I was making these for a while to sell and found out something.  It does a tinker check first then it does a magery check.  The menu will say 100% to make but you can still fail to make them below 100 magery.

Hey there Paulo, did you ever pick back up on this one and address any of the issues, would love to see it finished up and moved out of submissions!
