Where does it hang?

Code: Select all

clears alert 1 
adds alert for yadda_yadda00
adds alert for yadda_yadda01
adds alert for yadda_yadda02
adds alert for yadda_yadda03
adds alert for yadda_yadda04
clears alert 2

all that works till we get to:

Code: Select all

cleared alert 10
added alert for big_mob_00
*Hang*

dosent finish adding the alerts, and dosent check anymore spawns, just hangs after adding the first instance of the tenth mob.

right there

says it added alert big_mob00 then the mac dosent do anything else, thats it. Not sure if youve used this particular mac before, but it should add another 4 alert for the same mob and then begin its tracking loop, instead it stays hung right at the first instance of the tenth alert.

In the code, as is, only runs through the for loop that reads the ini file 10 times. This will cause 2 problems. The macro stores the number of alerts in a(0,0) once it gets NOTFOUND trying to read the next entry. If there is 10 or more this will never happen and it will move on without adding the number of alerts. The other thing that will happen is the next for loop, which uses that index at a(0,0) will have problems. It looks like you can just up the for loop to a larger number.

Change the red to

Code: Select all

/for v3 1 to 100

In this:

Code: Select all

Sub AlertSetup
   |** Clear Alerts **|
   /varset v1 "$zone"
   /for v3 1 to 100
      /varset a(0,$v3) 0 |Clear NPC name listing
      /varset a(1,$v3) 0 |Clear Alert Status listing
      /varset a(2,$v3) 0 |Clear Info Listing
   /next v3

   |** Get Alerts from alert.ini **|
   [color=red]/for v3 1 to 10[/color]
      /if "$ini("INIPATH","$zone","$v3")"=="NOTFOUND" {
         /varset a(0,0) $int($calc($v3-1))
         /goto :FoundItems
      } else {
         /varset a(0,$v3) "$ini("INIPATH","$zone","$v3")"
      }
   /next v3

   :FoundItems
      |** Set Alerts **|
      /if $a(0,0)==0 {
         /echo No NPC alerts set for $zone.
         /goto :FinishedInfo
      } else {
