 Photon Scripts I have been looking but can't find any info on getting a public script for attacking planets. I know there are variables but a general photon, land on planet.If there are none,can someone help me with writing one.

Re: Photon Scripts I'm guessing you're not finding one because most people just use a macro for that. Here's a generic photon, transport, move, land macro that I use:
cpy1111^Mqx 22^M ^M1111^M^M ^Ml 33^M ^M
Just replace 1111 with the sector number, 22 with the ship number (set to 0 if you aren't changing ships), and replace 33 with the planet number to land on (set to 0 if you aren't landing). If the photon duration is short (2 sec) then you'll need to optimize the macro by stripping out what you don't need.

Re: Photon Scripts Code: setVar $ATTACK_SECTOR 1234
setVar $ATTACK_PLANET 10
getword CURRENTLINE $PROMPT 1
if ($PROMPT <> "Citadel")
Echo "**Prompt Check**"
halt
end
send "S* *"
waiton "Warps to Sector(s)"
waiton "Citadel"
setVar $i 1
while (sector.warps[currentsector][$i] <> 0)
if (sector.warps[currentsector][$i] = $ATTACK_SECTOR)
goto :Continue
end
add $i 1
end
Echo "**Attack Sector Is Not Adjacent**"
halt
:Continue
send "/"
waiton #179 & "Figs"
getText CURRENTLINE $FIGS "Figs" #179
stripText $FIGS " "
striptext $FIGS ","
isnumber $tst $FIGS
if ($tst = 0)
setVar $FIGS 0
end
if ($FIGS < 10000)
Echo "*Not a whole lot of Figs*"
halt
end
waiton #179 & "Phot"
getText CURRENTLINE $PHOTONS "Phot" #179
stripText $PHOTONS " "
isNumber $tst $PHOTONS
if ($tst = 0)
setVar $PHOTONS 0
end
if ($PHOTONS = 0)
echo "*no photons*"
halt
end
#------------------------------- now we attack
setVar $MAC ""
setVar $MAC "CV0YN" & $ATTACK_SECTOR & "* P Y " & $ATTACK_SECTOR & "* Q Q Q "
setVar $MAC ($MAC & "M Z" & $ATTACK_SECTOR & "* * * L Z" & #8 & $ATTACK_PLANET & "* * * "
send $MAC
That's a basic, basic example of a script (off the top of my head). there are many options and senerios that this script doesn't take into consideration. so much so that you should really get proficient in scripting so that you can tweak your script(s) to handle different situations, like: using a xport ship, towing in a ship, sending N-waves, retreating and xporting out, popping planets, developing a planet to get a telepad available, furbing, and on and on..

Re: Photon Scripts SG's right. M()MBot Commands:
PE - Photon Adj, Enter
PXEX - Photon Adj, Xport to Moth Ship, Enter Sector, Export Out
PELK - Photon Adj, Enter Sector, Land On Planet, Kill (send one wave)
PXELK - Photon Adj, Xport to Moth, Enter Sector, Land On Planet, Kill (send one wave)
PEX - Photon Adj, Enter Sector, Xport
PEL - Photon Adj, Enter Sector, Land
PED - Photon Adj, Enter Sector, Defend (Pop A Planet)
PXED - Photon Adj, Xport To Moth Ship, Enter Sector, Defend
these are 'invasion' commands within the MOMBot.. Much Thanks to Mind Dagger for these

Re: Photon Scripts ok, I was trying to find one for reference to figure out how to write one.The macro solution would work,but I might still try a script.The M()M Bot I d/l but can't figure how to get it to work and use it.Is it beneficial for a single player?

Re: Photon Scripts When you unzip the Zip file, make sure the folder structure looks something like:
C:\TWX\Scripts\Mombot
C:\TWX\Scripts\Mombot\botincludes
C:\TWX\Scripts\Mombot\Commands
C:\TWX\Scripts\Mombot\Daemons
C:\TWX\Scripts\Mombot\Help
C:\TWX\Scripts\Mombot\Modes
C:\TWX\Scripts\Mombot\Modules
find the mom_bot3_1032.ts script and run it from TWX, when at cmd prompt.

Re: Photon Scripts You need to be running TWX PRoxy, and connect to TWX from Swath. The bot commands (or modules), are only accessable via: SubSpace cmds ('aero holo) or from the bots command prompt (press >holo).

Re: Photon Scripts I am new to using scripts,and especially bots.I can access the menu by > but I don't know the commands. I can't seem to access the menu from subspace. When I press the ? and the menu screen shows up I can't access anything.

Re: Photon Scripts BigD's right. the seperator in the 'quickstats' (viewed when / is pressed in game), which is part of the Extended ASCII character set. Code: Sect 1│Turns 1,526│Creds 50,000│Figs 99│Shlds 0│Hlds 50│Ore 0│Org 0│Equ 0
Col 0│Phot 0│Armd 0│Lmpt 0│GTorp 0│TWarp No│Clks 0│Beacns 0│AtmDt 0│Crbo 0
