The goal is to surround the current sector with fighters. I have not got the whole understanding of the setvar command yet so I am making a script that just repeats the stuff for each warp. This only has the info for the 1st warp, when Ive got it working then ill add in the others. Anyway, uppon arrival at the 1st warp its stops working, doesn't accept triggers and just halts.

:top
getInput $figs "How many fighters per sector?"
send "d"
send "c;q"
waitfor "Max Figs Per Attack:"
getword CURRENTLINE $max 5
end

:getsectors
send "d"
waitfor "Sector :"
getword CURRENTLINE $start 3
waitfor "Warps to Sector(s) :"
getword CURRENTLINE $warp1 5
striptext $warp1 "("
striptext $warp1 ")"
getword CURRENTLINE $warp2 7
striptext $warp2 "("
striptext $warp2 ")"
getword CURRENTLINE $warp3 9
striptext $warp3 "("
striptext $warp3 ")"
getword CURRENTLINE $warp4 11
striptext $warp4 "("
striptext $warp4 ")"
getword CURRENTLINE $warp5 13
striptext $warp5 "("
striptext $warp5 ")"
getword CURRENTLINE $warp6 15
striptext $warp6 "("
striptext $warp6 ")"
goto :warp1
end

:warp1
send $warp1 "*"
goto :there1

:there1
setTextTrigger there1a :there1a "Command [TL="
setTextTrigger there1b :there1b "Mined Sector:"
setTextTrigger there1c :there1c "Your fighters:"
pause
:there1a
killAllTriggers
send "f" $figs "*cd"
goto :return1a

:there1b
killAllTriggers
send "n"
goto :there1

:there1c
killAllTriggers
send "a" $max "*"
goto :there1

:return1a
send "<"
goto :return1b

:return1b
setTextTrigger w1twarp :w1twarp "Lane is not adjacent"
setTextTrigger w1ewarp :w1ewarp "The shortest path"
setTextTrigger w1back :w1back "Sector : " $start
pause
:w1twarp
killAllTriggers
send "n"
goto :return1b

:w1ewarp
killAllTriggers
send "e"
goto :

:w1back
killAllTriggers
goto :warp2
end

:warp2
halt

Get with me on icq next time you see me.Il help you with it

I made the following corrections to your posted script, and it works:
You can't put "end" in unless you have an If or While before it. So fix that first.
Line 66 from your above post should have "&" in it, as follows:
setTextTrigger w1back :w1back "Sector : " & $start

Note: This forum removes extra spaces, so the above line will not have enough spaces between "Sector" and ":"

As I said, it works for me after making these changes. Here are a few pointers though...
When you warp to the adjacents, you should send "m" before the sector number.
:warp1
send "m" $warp1 "*"

If you just send the sector number and "*", you will run into problems if the sector number is below a certain number, which changes according to the number of sectors in the universe... so just send "m" first and keep it simple.

Always try and use the TWX database to save yourself the unnecessary scripting. Check the following out, and you can avoid the part where you try to capture the adjacent sectors:

setVar $warp 1
getSector $current $current

:figAdjacents
if ($warp <= SECTOR.WARPCOUNT[$current]
send "m" SECTOR.WARPS[$current][$warp]
goto :there1
else
echo "*All Done*"
halt
end

And finally, you are using waitFor when you should be using setTextLineTrigger. Check line 5, 11, and 13. Your script depends on data received after the waitfor text... which may or may not have been received at the instant the triggering text is parsed. Use setTextLineTrigger instead.

Hope it helps,

I was thinking the same thing.He never contacted me so I never got to help him.Oh well.

i made a script but it wont work, it follows:

$Kill all and own game

can anyone fix this script for me heh

Thanks for the help Elder. Sorry Wild our schedules just didn't seem to be matching up. Thanks though and you can count on me getting some help from you as I develop other scripts.

Oh yeah, nuther question... Can twx scripts call on other scripts?
If so what is the command? And does the first script halt when calling on the new one?

If I remember right it is :
load 1_col
for colonize.
Just add the scripts name in
Hope that helps

This is a wish loop which needs an end statement, but they aren't supported in the current revision of TWX Proxy.

haha, thanks EP.

Ok I have already started making better ways to do this. (not meaning pull data from the DB).

What I want to know is can an if statement have two commands to perform before the next elseif/else.
Like this

:changewarp
if ($warp = $warp1)
setvar $warp $warp2
goto :top
elseif ($warp = $warp2)
etc
etc
etc

yea, you can have it perform as many tasks as you want, as long as they dont adversely affect eachother

(like putting the goto before the setvar)
