Ok scripters. I was in a game just to load swath and stuff for when I decide to return. Do hot keys and crap.
I came up with a little chore I needed to do and I couldnt find a script for it and I dont have the time to do it, so I am suggesting it to you guys. BEcause it will be easy.

I was looking for a script that will lift off a planet, go to Class 0, buy figs, go home and put on the planet or sector.
My Class 0 BUydown will warp a planet and do it, but what if you do not have a Level 4-6?

So I leave it up to you guys. If no one writes one, I will do it upon my return, but that is probably months away.

I plan on doing one... just as soon as I finish reinventing the wheel.
Here's a little macro tip for anyone who wants to save a few lines of Code:
P S G Y G Q H

psgyg has been around for a while. Rev has been using it since like 2004, and is where I got it. I've used it in a handful of scripts since. Obviously it only works on dock, pty works just fine on class 0 ports.

One problem is it's not blown dock safe. An easy approach is to send something like... ps or pt, set 2 triggers, and on a good prompt send the rest, on, on a bad send an escape-twarp burst.

Personally I've always just macro'd a figbuy, it's not much different than a colo mac.

I would agree Sing, but what if in mac loop, someone takes out your fig?
Need something with a safety.

well i assume ur not gonna run around with a ship and no ftrs, so what u wanting... 1/2 a ship load each trip?.. Use all cash on hand or set a cash limit? Go by starting prompt on weather to drop em in sector or on planet? Too many ways to set this up... I still use the old one I wrote for Zoc back when I first returned to TW, b4 I got TWX...heh heh

all good points.. but each have fairly obvious answers:
Fed safe? pretty obvious what to do there..  blue and not fed safe? pretty obvious there too.  Red? lots of options one can present the enduser with
in any case we have several class 0's to choose from. Twarp, bwarp, buffer dock/terra with a few empty ships no one will cath you.
as for cash that's pretty obvious too..  just check the port report b4 each trip, take what you need form the cit and fire away --if you're that parnoid, otherwise fill your wallet and run full tilt.
The hardest and most tedious part of scripting, for me, is drawng limiting all the options one can incorporate and in many scripts.
anyway when I do make one, it'll only go to a couple people so gl to who ever makes one for joe public.

Dont have to be fancy.
Just have it ask for class 0 not dock sector.
blind warp protection. That is it.
Dont want to ewarp because of getting caught.
Have it grab ore after every trip

Easy. Id do it but I forget how to write it. I forget almost everything and I am at the point where I am starting to think why relearn it.
But anywho
