Buy/Dump Fighters to a Sector

dpezet Gunnery Sergeant Joined: Wed Jul 26, 2006 2:00 am Posts: 25 Location: USA	I am a long time SWATH user and there is something I have been trying to automate for a while that I have never found a good way to handle. When I am building a home sector, I would like a way to automatically move to the StarDock or a Class-0, buy fighters, return to the sector and drop the fighters. The Buy/Dump script that comes with SWATH only dumps to a planet, not to a sector. Right now I use a macro, but it is not completely automated as the number of fighters to leave in the sector changes each time. Does anyone know of a good script out there that can do this?

Though I might be able to whip one up if someone else doesn't beat me to it. In the mean time you should take a look at Mind Dagger's Swath Scripts... there might be something there already to do the job (haven't used a Swath script in over a year.) _________________ ---------------------------- -= QUANTUM Computing 101: 15 = 3 x 5 ... 48% of the time.

I suspected MD would have this figdump script already done: Code: /** * Sector Fig Dumper * * Used to move fighters into a sector either grabbing them from a planet or buying them * from Sector 1. * * @author Mind Dagger */ Above script can be found on Grimy's, as part of his Swath Script Pack Hope this helps _________________ ---------------------------- -= QUANTUM Computing 101: 15 = 3 x 5 ... 48% of the time.

I didn't even think to look at the Grimy Trader's site. I gave MD's script a shot and it looks good, but I am having some navigation problems. Since the code is public I'll tweak it to do what I want. Thanks again, Don _________________ The Mushroom Cloud BBS http://www.tmcbbs.com telnet://tmcbbs.com twgs://tmcbbs.com:2002 TWWS Sponsor

It's generally safer since you aren't twarping around w/ a lot of cash on you. Still, it wouldn't be hard to write something like this. _________________ May the unholy fires of corbomite ignite deep within the depths of your soul... 1. TWGS server @ twgs.navhaz.com 2.

But it is TWX _________________ My scripts can be downloaded at http://www.grimytrader.com/. Ore *****. Even in my signature it's blocked out.

Thanks again, Don Man, I had the exact same resistance myself... until I used TWX inside SWATH... it is SO much faster at pretty much everything. It makes the extra step of loading two helpers well worth it. Give it a shot.... _________________ {Carcharodon Megalodon}

They snatch 3 to 4 times as many colos as you can using SWATH Cerne BTW, I use wildstar's Sector Figs to Planet Script and Planet Figs to Sector Script, both in is pack on Grimy's. Just use the .ts files as the compiled (.cts) ones seem to break. _________________ "All warfare is based on deception..." - Art of War "Time will tell all tales" - SG Any advanced tactic in TW is indistinguishable from cheating.

If it looks like I will not be back soon, I may just release every script I have in .ts.

The API checks a half-dozen details as it goes, whereas a script really only needs to synch w/ game text occasionally. You can use the macro capability in swath tho, it's just as fast if you abort displays. If you look at MD's stuff tho you'll notice he uses sendtext to do macro bursts, which ends up being pretty fast. _________________ May the unholy fires of corbomite ignite deep within the depths of your soul... 1.
