Auto Looter

[Oran]

I'm still grasping the basics of scripting and the like and I'm trying to make a auto looter that either
A) Picks up the corpse, command would be: "Take Corpse"
B) Or detects what it is I've just killed and inputs the name to loot that

Currently looks like this but it doesn't work:

temptimer( 3.01, [[send("take ..."))]])

As well as waiting for my balance to recover, which takes 3.01 seconds.
Any help would be greatly apprecitated, Thanks in advance

All commands (functions) and otherwise within Mudlet are case sensitive.

Code: Select all

temptimer()

is NOT the same as

Code: Select all

tempTimer()

Notice the second capitalized 'T'. You need to use that format, for the tempTimer function.

Thanks, but now that it all works, the timer doesn't work, any idea's on why that is?

I wouldn't rely on a timer for this. Instead, you should trigger on the balance/equilibrium message.

(Take the triggers as illustrative only. You'll need to make them work for you.)

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

-- Trigger: "You have killed (.+)."
-- If get_corpse exists, it will add 1 to it. If it doesn't, get_corpse gets set to 1.
get_corpse = (get_corpse + 1) or 1

-- Trigger: "You have regained balance."
-- If get_corpse exists, and there is at least 1 corpse to get, then get it.
if get_corpse and get_corpse > 0 then
  send("take corpse")
end

-- Trigger: "You pick up a corpse."
-- If get_corpse exists, and there is at least 1 corpse to get, we register
-- that we picked it up by decrementing get_corpse. If we still have corpses to get,
-- we send "take corpse" again.
if get_corpse and get_corpse > 0 then
  get_corpse = get_corpse - 1

  if get_corpse > 0 then
    send("take corpse")
  end
end

This was written completely in the forum editor, so I make no guarantees. But the idea behind it is sound, and could definitely be expanded upon.
