Full Version: Def Up Script.
I'm starting to make a defence script in cmud and I'm wondering if there is any tutorials up for making a simple defup script? One where they don't use timers.
Why not without timers? That's pretty much the easier(though inflexible) way to do it. Without timers you're going to have to do a whole balance tracking script and then create a TODO queue that works off the balance script. This is the first thing I scripted into my system, and it took A LOT of tweaking and bug fixing before it became usable... and even then I'm not sure if it's combat-ready.
I could be wrong but timers isn't the best thing to use due to the fact that balance could come at any time due to lag and timers could miss it and not work or hit it but not at the optimal time. The balance thing is exactly what I want/need and that I can do but not sure how best to do it. How do you put it in a queue without having a ton of if statements? You said TODO queue. Is there any tutorials on that? I see a #ADDITEM thing so I might have a look at that and see if I can do something with that.

I made several systems based on this todo stuff, it is how most curing systems work aswell.
Make a database which contains defences which need no equilibrium/balance to put up, and make a database which contains the one which DO need balance/equlibrium. These databases will also contain the command which needs to be executed to get the defence:
bal_equi_defs
cloak - touch cloak
mindseye - touch mindseye
deathsight - deathsight
free_defs
insomnia - insomnia
... - ...
Make an empty variable defqueue
Next is to make a triggers for the def up line for each defence, and make that trigger do #delitem defqueue -defence-
Next make a prompt trigger, which looks up the defqueue variable, and executes the defs which are stored in it, the free ones whenever, and the bal/equi ones whenever you have bal/equi.
Then you use #additem defqueue -defence- to add a certain defence to the queue.
Next you can add several checks/ifs to avoid spamming when you receive lots of prompts, but that's secondary.
Timers are great for resetting things if something goes wrong, forcing it to move on. Just do what Nitro said, and you could have timers that activate for each specific balance.
For example, on my Aetolian autosipper I wrote I have two timers, one that activates when I sip health or mana, and one when I eat moss. If the message "You can drink another healing elixir." (or whatever it is) doesn't come for some reason (like I didn't sip, or it was an illusion(which has it's own whole setup but I'm not getting into that)), it'll reset the variables, allowing it to autosip again.
After the timer is activated, it just turns off once it receives the "You can drink another elixir" thing.
^I have the exact same thing for moss.

Wow, it's been a while since I've screwed around with exported scripts. Here's my action queue I have scripted, though like I already posted, it's far from perfect but it should give you an idea. Also included random bits and pieces that make use of it.
