Summoning Script

[Theiwar]

On to my next project, trying to create a script to automate my summoning. Essentially I've got a simple table with the names of all my ents:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

summonlist = {"skyrax", "rixil", "eerion", "arctar", "scrag", "pyradius", "dameron", 
"palpatar", "nin'kharsag", "istria", "marduk", "nemesis", "buul", "cadmus", "piridon", "danaeus", "lycantha", "hecate"}

Now what function do I use to go through that list and summon the current entity (i.e. send("summon" ..nextsummon..)) and then wait for balance and then summon the next one. Thanks!

Um, there are no functions to wait for your MUDs balances.

Actually I've worked out most of it, I just need to know how to do it using that table? So to keep things simple how would I summon the first name in the list i.e. send("summon" ..FIRSTnameINtable)

Need a variable storing the current index, when you hit the end of the list you'll probably want to reset it to 1. Then everytime you regain balance:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

send("summon " .. summonlist[index])
index = index + 1

Ok so this is what I came up with, let me know your thoughts/improvements:
Alias:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

echo( "-----------BEGIN SUMMONING-----------" )
send("summon skyrax")
sumindex = 1
summongo = 1

Triggers:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

^You have recovered equilibrium.$
if summongo == 1 
	then
	summonall()
end

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

^The Entity refuses to send another minion to aid you.$
You cannot summon
if summongo == 1 
	then
	sumindex = sumindex + 1
	summonall()
end

Script Function:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

function summonall()
	if sumindex <= 17 then 
		send("summon " .. summonlist[sumindex])
		sumindex = sumindex + 1
	else
summongo = 0
	end
end

if you're using a standard table, you don't have to hard code the length of it in. You can just prefix the table name with a hash (#) to get the number of elements in the table.

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

if sumindex <= #summonlist then
