Um, I asked if the Names would execute the same function.... I also asked if the ID's would provide a shortcut to not check for the names.

Once more, I apologise for my pattern to be unclear.

Names are used exactly as ID's would be if they were in Lunar. Names are just as fast as ID's because of the way the windower processes input from sendstring.

Thanks tiny. I was wondering about the Pixel Co-ordinates.

I noted X & y, which I understood perfectly. but I don't understand Pixel Co-ordinate Z.

Would I be able to set up a box of pixel co-ordinates using IF statements? (Yes/No answer please. I wanna try to make it meself.)

Ignore the IF statements. I just checked, and It seems I overlooked a particular section in the Lua Manual.

And last thing I am a little confused with is the IF statements in Lua, along with the user-defined functions. Could you set it up without it being messy?

(And are the IF statements like

If UserHP < HalfHPBar then -- What else to do with this...  How does it work out?>)
(I couldn't find it in the Lua Manual they had on their web site.)

Is there a command for running a script from a script? Tired useing control_SendString() but it bypasses the chat buffer so windower doesn't see it.

[TinyTerror]

I think you are looking for the dofile command. dofile takes a string with the name of the file you want to run. It's pretty simple.

Hey tiny, how do you set up a while statement with lua? Nothing comes to mind when I think I've looked into it before. And I have some c-ordinates set up in my script, I'll post again when I'm done, but My major roadblock is a while statement.

You need to look at the lua docs before asking simple things like this. It's right there, in section 4.3.2.

Osheet! that's where all that stuff is.... >.>

Sorry tiny, I had the refrence manual booked up.

Don't expect me to ask stupid question there again... Or if I do, stare....

No questions are stupid, some are just lazy

Is there any way to determine the exact resolution of the FF screen the user is running? In theory, I suppose one could write a script to hollow down, then open the windower.ini (is that the file?) that has the res in it, but that's hella ghetto.

[TinyTerror]

This is one of the things I added on saturday's release. I will update the docs as soon as I have a chance.

[petar113507]

Ok tiny I did look in the book this time.

I wrote a test script on my computer, and I wanted to know if in a while statemenet you could be inclusive with two cases:

IE:



PathPosX=FFXI.PlayerGetPosX()

X1= 16
X2= 25
While X1 < PathPosX < X2
--Execute the body code

end


Could I add an 'And' notation to while?

While X1 < PathPosX < X2 AND Y1 < PathPosY < Y2

-- Execute the body code
end


this is like other languages, and I'm just checking for clairifacation.... Cause this is kind of generic.

Oh hey, petar, are you working on a nav script too? Maybe we should share notes.

[petar113507]

si si~ Except I'm working on a DPos system I thought of. I'll compare notes, but I think your system would be a little different. ^_^
