Jester87's Bot Tutorial For Newbies

[Oddity]

It depends on your computer, each computer has different representations for int, float, double, etc... There is a test to see, I think it goes something like:
In a dos box:

run like a hellow world app, but then include

printf (cout, printline, whatever your languages command for printing to screen is) << float
printf << double
printf << int


This should make it print to screen what your computer can set the maximum value to. I think the maximum for int is in the thousands, but that i<200 can still cause many problems. In a situation like this were you don't know exactly how long you need it to run its best to do a do while or while loop. This way you do not need to specify i<200 and you can continue on. So like while(logs<400) go on from there. This way instead of it being 200 run throughs of the code, which can still cause I to go up without collecting a log, now you have it running until it collects 400 logs.

This is not C or C++. This is Groovy, which is based on Java.

Haven't messed with Java or groovy much yet, plan on doing so when I got some free time soon. Jester you said you got it cleaned up some, what you do to get some kinks out?

I added an additional line to make it drop the log before checking to chop. Not really sure if it is working, though.

For picking up the extra logs you could add a if statement before finding a tree to look for a log, that way it would grab that before chopping a new tree down.

Yeah, its just a matter of adding the loops. Think you could tackle it?

I got the bot client working and I added ur script as groovy file.
Can't run it tho by typing

Code: Select all

bot loggin_bot

Also tried adding to hotkey.. nothing happens.. My char just says what I typed.

But if I click f1 then some other script starts that want me to mark 2 different tiles.
How do we know what exactly the already existing scripts do?

Hope we get a curio gathering bot soon

No problem. Sorry I had to go to bed.

You'll want to make sure the bot script is placed in the scripts folder, and you will want to make sure it has a .groovy extension. After that, while you are in game hit colon ":" and then set_bot1 logger_bot

Or you can rename your bot to something simple like logger.

It is in script folder with groovy extension already and I just tried placing the ":" before the command and it didn't make any difference.
