loadvar $bot_name <- that loads the bots name from the bot your using ie m()mbot
setvar $bot $bot_name <- sets the variable to use only $bot instead of $bot_name (I usually just use $bot_name easier to remember)

that loads your bot name into the script

then if you do & your name is new_player:

send "'" $bot " buy f s *"

that translates into "'" opens subspace there is a ' in there $bot = new_player and the rest buys down the fuel using speed * = enter so it would look like this without the quotes to help see everything

' new_player buy f s enter

I hope that helps a little if not I am sure there are others that might be able to make it a little clearer

If I have Elder Prophet's Haggle script running and I call on a bot, will EP's digital minion strangle everything?

Should I change my planet search from xBB to xxx and modify my script to trade at every port, upgrading the best?

I had a stockpile of goods. I had just traded down my main planet while waiting for my upgraded ports to regenerate, then I manually sent around my backup planet to the nearest upgraded port, let EP's script haggle, hit ";7;", bought fuel with a SWATH macro, hit ";7;" again, and moved on.

Can I send commands from my script to EP's?

Thanks for your help!

Now I have another reason to want to control Elder Prophet's haggle from a script: I forgot to turn off Haggle and Hold!
