Post subject:	Get a Distance
I am curious if there is a script that will get a all sectors from a set sector. ie SD if I wanted all sectors within 4 hops written to a file or displayed on screen. The purpose is to use those sectors to have a sweeper script running to keep them clear from Nav Haz, Figs, Mines and Planets. If there is already a script that does the distance could some one point me in that direction I would appreciate the assistance. I really don't want to recreate the wheel if it is already out there somewhere.

getNearestWarps or getAllCourses Very easily done (assuming you have a map).

Yea I have the ZTM I am setting this up for a building type game, but I am new to writing scripts I will look at those thanks. I am doing it by hand at the moment and then I can atleast have something to compare my results to.

I have it writing to a file and it does the sweep based on that file. You can use the script, dissect it for your needs if you want.

Take a look in the OCSBot_sweep.ts script which gets the path from sector 1 to StarDock, then writes to the text file. Not too sure if that is what you were referring to. If it is, you can always use the sweep script in whatever you are doing. The code listed is the part that gets the path and writes to the file: Code: :getSD send "v" setTextLineTrigger sdSector :sdSector "The StarDock is located in sector" pause :sdSector getword currentline $sd 7 stripText $sd "." setVar $line "" send "^f1" $sd "q" waitfor "TO > " & $SD :getPath setTextLineTrigger line :line "" pause :line getwordpos CURRENTLINE $pos ": ENDINTERROG" if ($pos > 0) goto :lineDone end setVar $line $line & CURRENTLINE setTextLineTrigger line :line "" pause :lineDone stripText $line ">" stripText $line "(" stripText $line ")" echo "**" ANSI_12 $line delete $SentryFile getword $line $secNumber 2 setVar $posCounter 2 while ($secNumber <> 0) write $sentryFile $secNumber add $posCounter 1 getword $line $secNumber $posCounter end return

Post subject:	Re: Get a Distance
Yea I was looking at that a few minutes ago. What I am wanting is that I can setvar (anynumber) and it will give me a list of sectors within that area. setTextLineTrigger dockSector :dockSector "The StarDock is located in sector " send "v" pause :dockSector setVar $dockLine CURRENTLINE getWord $dockLine $dockSector 7 stripText $dockSector "." getnearestwarps $center $docksector that gets all warps but I am looking for a way to only extract a set number say I want 5 sectors around dock to be swept but you want 3 it could be a variable that reads in from either a text file or preset. I currently sweep 2 around dock and sector 1-10 removing all planets mines haz and figs >1 . Was just looking for an easier way to get the data for the sectors, not a huge deal Vids's script get the 2 out and I just use that file but it hangs on some of the other functions and it is compiled so I can't see the example of how he did it. I did message him but he has been extremely busy so timing has not worked out on that. So I wrote my own sweeper form scratch but am missing the sector part. Thanks for the help

You should try your hand at scripting. I've taken all of the hard work out of that kind of search with the getAllCourses command. If you look at the script reference that comes with TWX Proxy, script.html, you'll see an explanation and example which you could modify for your purposes. It would look something like this: Code: getAllCourses $courses STARDOCK setVar $i 1 while ($i <= SECTORS) if ($i <> STARDOCK) and ($courses[$i] <= 4) echo "*" $i " is " $courses[$i] " hops." end add $i 1 end And if you wanted to start with the sectors one hop from SD, you would change that evaluation to ($courses[$i] = 1). Then, if you wanted just those 2 hops out, run it = 2, and so on. No need to rerun the getAllCourses part, just the search part. +EP+

Thanks to all! Who would have known if I read the documentation the answer was write there I now have a good start on what I want. I will just add so it loops until it hit the magic sector distance from dock the write a file and I will be done. Much appreciated!

<Nod> no problem. Glad to help.

Post subject:	Re: Get a Distance
getAllCourses is usually the best way to go. But as getDistance is now really fast, if your looking at small hop numbers it might be slightly faster to run a getDistance check and abort based on it instead of using a getAllCourses array. That won't matter much if you just run the script once, but if it's part of a routine that's called a lot... it can make a big difference.
