So i spent all of yesterday clicking the combine button and reloading items into the tradeskill

window, then i, when i regained feeling in my numb fingers and wrist, downloaded and complied

MQ2. and a few hours later, with no knowledge of scripting, I'm attempting to pump out my

first script. I know it's not in the nature of the forum to be generous to those who are new [and stupid/arrogant],

but im NOT looking for handouts, and I don't want anyone to write the scripts for me, but here

goes for the first one. Let me know what I', doing right or wrong here, trying to comment everything though, to make it easier for the readers.

(sitting with new tradeskillwindow open)

Code: Select all

| Broke it down into 3 subsections
| Sub Docombine moves mouse and clicks the 'combine button'
| Sub delaytimer is just a 5 second delay right now
| looked to robodawgs herobrew script for help with some info,
| not trying to steal his script, wanted to give him credit where it's due
| Sub DoAutoinv stashes everythign back in inventory
|

Sub Main
   /call DoCombine
   /delay 5
   /call DelayTimer
   /delay 5
   /call DoAutoInv
/endmacro

Sub DoCombine
   /click left 560,480
/return

Sub DelayTimer
   /delay 45
/return

Sub DoAutoInv
   :WaitCursor
   /if (${Cursor.ID} ) /autoinv {  
      /goto :WaitCursor
   } else /return

There are already about a bizillion tradeskill macros, are you really sure you want to reinvent a new one?

My first question, is why are you tradeskilling? For items for for skillups?

There are macros already that will keep track of your skill and even stop you when somehting becomes trivial. I wrote one that will tell my my success and fail rates. There are some that will do sub combines and such. Check the Macro Depot and do some searches man.

If none of these meet your needs, then I would suggest changing your /click left 560,480 to /notify COMBW_CombineArea CombineButton leftmouseup as a start so it doesnt break if you move the box.

apart from the good working macros already out there including Mine what happens when it returns after you autoinv your cursor.

Code: Select all

Sub Main 
   /call DoCombine 
   /delay 5 
   /call DelayTimer 
   /delay 5 
   /call DoAutoInv 
/endmacro

and why

Code: Select all

   /delay 5 
   /call DelayTimer 
   /delay 5

call 3 delays to do one job ? why not just use /delay 60 if you feel a need to have a delay for that long ?

thanks for the feedback, and to answer the first question regarding why i was scripting:
to see if i can, I'm just learning the basics of scripting and i hope to be able to script as well as a lot of the people here someday
