Sometimes when I run my script to make PP with a tradeskill it says "You must place an item into this container type before combining" or something like that.
Its weird because yesterday I let my macro run all night (about 13 hrs) and it didnt do that, but this morning i ran it for 2 hours and I got that, stopped script and started it again and it was fine...must be related to lag. Anyways heres my question.
Anyone know how I would go about telling my macro if that happened, to send the components into the container. Because right now all it does is sit there and does nothing if i get that message.
I dont want to post my script here because its my baby, any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure, but I have been experiencing a problem when /finditem doesn't actually pick up the item that it finds, and that causes the "You must place an item into this container type before combining" message even if you still have components.

It's lag plain and simple.

Watch a while etc.. put some logs in.. you'll figure out that in some places in the script you will need to "LagProof" it. Basically what's happening is your script is being overrun.

Play around...use some delays..and if your "Friend" gave ya the script ask what the hell I'm talking about.

Thnx, fixed the problem it was lag related... I was sending the combined component to auto equip too fast so i changed the delay a bit.
I watched over my script and i got this after my character saved, which causes lag. It only happened a few times because it had to be on auto equip dumping the item the same time my char saved, thanks for the help :)

Ravena- yes.

Code: Select all

:AutoDropSpoon
      /click left auto 
/delay 0
      /if "$cursor()"=="TRUE" /goto :AutoDropSpoon

It's for the cheese.mac, but same difference... if there's something in your hand, it'll loop till nothings there.
