I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a script that I was trying to make.
The script is supose to make a certain type of planet and then quit, but I was testing it out
with zoc beeps before I did anything else. I can't even get this to work, it always seems to hang up
on the ans=zocwaitux line....can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong below?
/* REXX (CREATED BY ZOC LEARN MODE) */

call zoctimeout 60

call zocsynctime 250

do 1
call zocsend "uy.^Mc"
ans=zocwaitux("Class M, Earth Type|Class K-BE, Desert wasteland|Class O-J, Oceanic|Class L-E, Mountainous|Class C-EJ, Glacial|Class H-KEJ, Volcanic|Class U-GJ, Vaporous/Gaseous|Class A-FUI, Halo Planet")

select

when ans=0 then call zocbeep 1
when ans=1 then call zocbeep 2
when ans=2 then call zocbeep 3
when ans=3 then call zocbeep 4
when ans=4 then call zocbeep 5
when ans=5 then call zocbeep 6
when ans=6 then call zocbeep 7
when ans=7 then call zocbeep 8
end /* select*/
end /*do*/

I keep getting this error message:
9 +++ ans=zocwaitux("Class M, Earth Type|Class K-BE, Desert wasteland|Class O-J, Oceanic|Class L-E, Mountainous|Class C-EJ, Glacial|Class H-KEJ, Volcanic|Class U-GJ, Vaporous/Gaseous|Class A-FUI, Halo Planet")
Error 43 on line 9 of G:\Program Files\ZOC\script\Halo Maker.zrx: Routine not found

I am clueless when it comes to trying to fix this....not really sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks, otacon

Do you use TWX at all?

yes, I do.

There are some really great TWX scripts that does exactly what you are looking for. Grimy Trader's has some of those, but currently down. Maybe someone will upload to NavHaz. Keep checking thread for an answer to your question so you learn.

You have a typo:
it should be ZocWaitMux(
instead of ZocWaitux(

ah....I don't know why I didn't notice that. Thank you very much

OK...Maybe someone can help me with this problem. I got the script to work fine after I fixed the typo, but I cannot get the script to stop once I get the planet I want (the Halo planet) made. It is supose to name the Halo planet,Yes, but it names it No like all the other ones...What am I doing wrong?

/* REXX (CREATED BY ZOC LEARN MODE) */

call zoctimeout 60

call zocsynctime 250

DO UNTIL ans=0
call zocsend "uy"
ans=zocWaitMux("Class A-FUI, Halo Planet|Class K-BE, Desert wasteland|Class O-J, Oceanic|Class L-E, Mountainous|Class C-EJ, Glacial|Class H-KEJ, Volcanic|Class U-GJ, Vaporous/Gaseous|Class M, Earth Type")

select

when ans=0 then call zocsend "Yes^Mc"
when ans=1 then call zocsend "No^Mc lzdy"
when ans=2 then call zocsend "No^Mc lzdy"
when ans=3 then call zocsend "No^Mc lzdy"
when ans=4 then call zocsend "No^Mc lzdy"
when ans=5 then call zocsend "No^Mc lzdy"
when ans=6 then call zocsend "No^Mc lzdy"
when ans=7 then call zocsend "No^Mc lzdy"
end /* select*/
end /*do*/

thanks, otacon

Your zocwaitmux format is wrong

Here's an example:

ans = zocwaitmux("Class A-FUI, Halo Planet", "Class K-BE, Desert wasteland")

Each planet type has to be inside quotes and seperated by a comma. Also make sure each string is exact spelling.

Thank you for the correction. I was getting nowhere, fast.

You might try the following link also as The Reverend has long been the master of ZOC scripting using REXX language...lots of good scripts there ready for your use and works very well in combination with TWX 2.04....latest version of ZOC that will support Rev's code is something like v3.14 I believe?

http://www.thereverend.org/tradewars/files.html

actually they work in zoc 5 also, but you have to download each script individually from here:

http://thereverend.org/tradewars/public/files/script/

thought it was 4.15. meh works for me

hiya Rev...reason I sent the link I did was because you left a couple examples of coding, the script library plus a couple things related to the rexx language. Of course, for those looking for just specific scripts then your direct link to scripts is better. I have found your _makeplanet.zrx useful many times! I have not tested it against LoneStar's Planet Creation v10 for TWX yet as I have been happy with your script.
