Lootoption addon w/filter

[Romplayer]

its so frustrating sometimes for example i don't get printf very well because i frequently get nils and it crashes the bot and when i try printf("..name..") i get "..name.." printed and not to mention ' commands combined with "
Oh well Lootoption works thats all that matters

not sure I will be the best at explaining it but I will try.

if you have " " anything in between the " " will be a string.
so

Code: Select all

RoMScript(" 

that is the first " and so anything after it is a string until the second "

Code: Select all

RoMScript("Somefunction(1,1)")

So in that the Somefunction(1,1) is actually a string which is used in the function RoMScript.
So if you want to add in a variable to the function you need to do it outside of a string, so you end a string, add in variable then make another string for the rest.

Code: Select all

i = 1
RoMScript("Somefunction("  ..i..  ",1)")

Would be the same as

Code: Select all

RoMScript("Somefunction(1,1)")

So if you want to actually have a " as part of the string you tell it to that it is a character you want and not code to finish string, you do this with a \
So if you needed to do an ingame script of

Code: Select all

Somefunction("sometext",1,1)

the RoMScript would be

Code: Select all

RoMScript("Somefunction(\"sometext\",1,1)")

Of course.. I see and understand now.. But Murphy's Law says that next time i try it it will not be the case and it makes me feel that it is wrong. I bet if I try the same method on the other function that took me a day and a half to get it to work, it will not work... i get the denote of /' and such /" and i remmber now that ' means it is a function call but i still mess up using /"../" and everything whoops there i go it is a backslash not forward slash or idk whatever. For me when i use excessive spacing also i fail terribly. I gotta quit b/c if i get into it i'll end up mushing together all my knowledge and lose like 80 I.Q. pts then i'll lose the inspiration which is 80% of programming. Did i mention u are AWESOME?

RoMScript('GettFilter("..name..");');

is just wrong.

RoMScript("GettFilter('"..name.."');");

That looks like it should work. Lets say name = "Link Rune". It would equate to

Code: Select all

GettFilter('Link Rune');

in game. The only issue there is if you have a name with a '. You could reverse it.

Code: Select all

RoMScript('GettFilter("'..name..'");');

That would equate to

Code: Select all

GettFilter("Link Rune");

in game. I hope that helps your understanding.

Or just use the \" like Lisa said.

i tried that only lisa's genious worked

[kuripot]

i can only put individual.. cannot put in group?? i mean "Oranament Runes I","Oranament Runes II","Productions Rune","Rune I",,"Rune II","Rune III","Armor I",,"Armor II","Armor III","Armor IV" etc...

[Romplayer]

its on a name basis. Do you think i should put in wildcards?

[Romplayer]

RoMScript('GettFilter("..name..");');

is just wrong.

RoMScript("GettFilter('"..name.."');");

I think i remember my teacher saying that using a variable is 8 bytes of memory while a string is 16 bytes
so ' ' is 8 bytes and " " is 16 bytes. I had to get this off my chest. Because in a table function is 32 bytes so ' ' wouldn't work therefore u have to use the string modifer " " which is a 16 byte.

[Romplayer]

GAhh.. Therefore if i wanted to optimize my memory usage i would try something like

runthis = "Gettxt("..name..")"
or runthis = "Somefunction(\"sometext\",1,1)"
or something
then RoMScript('runthis');

or whatever something like that. If romscript is that slow... But I don't have a prob with it being slow.

Oh in ver .9 i'll have to add cards and recipies. Drop only recipies that u have learned. And maybe a Monstercardtooltip check on cards if it has been learned.

That doesn't sound right for lua. Maybe you were learning another language? Different rules apply for different languages. Or maybe I don't understand what you're saying.
