Rock5's catchCavy script

[rock5]

"\a" is a special code that rings the case bell. So the bell rings trice on this line.

Code: Select all

		cprintf(cli.yellow,"\a\aAttempting to catch cavy...\n")

[AngelDrago]

newby question how do you execute the script or is the script auto execute

[rock5]

Just follow the instructions on the first post.

I have created userfunctions.lua in the "rom" folder my own and pasted your script into this new file.


Using

Code: Select all

	<onLeaveCombat><![CDATA[
		-- Additional Lua code to execute after killing an enemy
		catchCavy();
	]]></onLeaveCombat>

=> After 30mins Golden cavy appeared but nothing happened

and

Code: Select all

	<onLeaveCombat><![CDATA[
		-- Additional Lua code to execute after killing an enemy
		catchCavy("cavy");
	]]></onLeaveCombat>

=> Received this error

Code: Select all

...esktop/micromacro_475/scripts/rom/classes/player.lua:1088: Error in your profile: onLeaveCombat error: ...esktop/micromacro_475/scripts/rom/classes/player.lua:2779: bad argument #2 to 'find' (string expected, got table)

My svnversion is 475
Rock, help me!

I think that should have worked. Do you have huntman traps and are they in your backpack?

Your version doesn't supports tables in the findNearestNameOrId function. Delete these lines near the top of the catchcavy userfunction,

Code: Select all

	if string.lower(_cavy) == "cavy" then -- Look for all cavies
		_cavy = {103566,103567}
	end

You wont be able to use the "cavy" keyword. You will have to specify what to search for.

For example:

Code: Select all

catchCavy() -- Will catch only Golden Magic Cavy in any client language.
catchCavy("Cavy") -- In English will catch both Golden Magic Cavy and Magic Cavy.

So weird, catchCavy("Cavy") still not working even there are 3 cavies around me
Do I have to set loot = true in my profile?

[rock5]

I can't see why it doesn't work, sorry.

[vietales]

I can't see why it doesn't work, sorry.

.. so sad

[vietales]

I have made a function named CavyDetect to find out if a cavy spawn or not

Code: Select all

function CavyDetect(_cavy)
	_cavy = _cavy or 103566 or 103567
	local cavy = player:findNearestNameOrId(_cavy)
	if cavy then cprintf(cli.yellow,"\a\aMagic Cavy detected...\n") end
end

but nothing happen when a Cavy spawn

So, Do you think r475 has some problem with 'findNearestNameOrId' function?

[rock5]

Yes, looks like there was a target "type" limitation that was removed in 477. 477 comments actually say "Can now target Cavys" so I'd say try 477. There are only 2 minor changes between 475 and 477 so it should work.

Oh god, it works like a charm !
You're really rock, rock

[harbifm]

can you explain vitales how you made it work with 477 step by step? (begin with creating userfucntion.lua)

The issues and problems you are having and will continue to have are very specific to the server/revision you are using. Please post your requests and such in this topic created especially for your server.

I would rather not see the forum filled up with questions and problems that only a small % of the users will actually encounter, if we keep the issues in one place then it will help you all out that use the same server/revision.

I quickly skimmed the 5 pages of posts but I didn't see anything about a check for bag space BEFORE using the function. I guess that my bags were full when the golden cavies spawned, bot used a trap, but no egg in bag since bags full. There were 3 traps/eggs unaccounted for in my bags last night.

Can I use the following?

Code: Select all

	<onLeaveCombat><![CDATA[
		-- Additional Lua code to execute after killing an enemy
                if inventory:itemTotalCount(0) > 0 then catchCavy()
	]]>

or am I missing (semi)colon in there or other syntax? Thanks.

[lisa]

the check for bag space seems fine, you need an end to close the if statement though

Code: Select all

 if inventory:itemTotalCount(0) > 0 then catchCavy() end

[omegastar013]

thank you for this rock5

[testbot]

Dont work for me, (Rev 654)

9:38am - C:/micromacro/scripts/rom/classes/player.lua:1423: Error in your profile: onLeaveCombat error: [string "..."]:3: attempt to call global 'catchCavy' (anil value)

thx for all.

[lisa]

That is telling you that you don't have the userfunction in the userfunctions folder.

just posting here to give a heads up on the fact this is still broken

Really? I wasn't aware it was broken.
