A different kind of Forage.mac

i am not a programmer and this code is all alien text to me, thus i am requesting a forage mac that will do the following (copy/pasted from macros i found but just didn't quite do all i would like for foraging for baking):

1) Wait until your cursor is empty before doing any forages
2) Stand, if you're sitting, and turn off auto-attack before attempting to forage.
3) Turn on attack if you were previously attacking and sit if you were previously sitting after foraging.
4) Use an *.ini file to see whether to keep or destroy any foraged items.
5) Keep track of the total number of forages and total number of each item foraged in the zone by you
6) Keep a specified number of any particular item, based on the value in the *.ini file

thanks in advance for the time it takes to make such a macro, and i salute those that are able to do this coding, i don't even know where to start.

Turn on attack if you were previously attacking and sit if you were previously sitting after foraging.
Use one of the the 31241234 foraging macros in the depot and just add a check for attack. I know for FACT there is at least one that does all you want it to. I helped write it.

Here is a tip. This is a request forum for ideas on how to start, where to start, what to start. Not a request forum, fill out this questionare and the macro monkies will spit another out in a few days. The part in red there.... really really tends to just piss people off.

I could see a Preocts post coming miles away on this one!

::sigh:: Forgot to mention that I'll be tearing my personal macro apart and peicing together the forage part of it. It also does everything you want it to do. If you can't find the forage macro already in the depot just wait a day or more.

i seriously didn't mean to offend anyone, just wanted all to know that people like me DO appreciate all the work put into the program, macros, plug-ins, etc. i do not have the knowlege to make them, nor the time at the moment, thus the request for help. i had searched the forums for forage macs, maybe i missed the one you are talking about, searching again now.

Doesn't matter, mine is up there and it does what you want. Was going to post that one anyway so people would have something to laugh at.

I have one that that does all this. Yes, I plagurized Preocts pre-MQData version. Thanks Preocts. :D

I also, added a LootMob routine that uses the same ini. Works great in my hunter script.

Thanks, GrimJack

I'm still at work. I have been testing it over the weekend and I think it is ready to post.
