[Question: Answered] If free Inventory<3 goto X

[Germangold]

Dear MM guys!

I have a problem regarding loading another path when there are only 3 spaces in bag left.
Following code is within a waypoint
Trigger for mainhands duration is allready set and working like a charm!

Code: Select all

(..)
if( inventory:getItemCount(0) > 58 ) then
    loadPaths("ravenfell_sellnpcl"); end

Isnt it true that inventory:getItemCount(0) returns the value of total items occupied in the bag?

How can i solve my problem?

HI!

You have 2 issues here.... lets analyze!
1. did you test inventory:getItemCount(0) ? try printf(inventory:getItemCount(0));
--> It returns the number of empty spaces, thus it solves your problem!

2. If it returned the number of occupied slot it would work fine if you have a 60 items back, to account for any bagsize you should use a variable that gives you the bag sizea dn decrease it by 3 instead of "58".

Use:

Code: Select all

if( inventory:getItemCount(0) < 4 ) then
    loadPaths("ravenfell_sellnpcl");
end

EDIT: I'm guessing 0 stands for "Empty space" item-ID.

Code: Select all

if( inventory:getItemCount(0) < 4 ) then
    loadPaths("ravenfell_sellnpcl");
end

Because of the '<' symbol that probably wont work. You can just flip it around, though, like this.

Code: Select all

if( 4 > inventory:getItemCount(0) ) then
    loadPaths("ravenfell_sellnpcl");
end

EDIT: I'm guessing 0 stands for "Empty space" item-ID.

That is correct. getItemCount can accept a name or id but because empties have a '<' symbol in their names ("<EMPTY>") using the name will cause problems so we can just use the empty id, which is "0", instead.

Thx for that correction, rock!

I didn't know that lua didn't support that symbol because I never used it in lua, yet it seemed logical that if > worked then < would too. But thanks for that!

Hope you have a better botting XP now, Gold!

Lua supports '<' just fine so you can use them in .lua documents. It is because it is in an .xml document that it causes trouble. It gets interpreted as a beginning of a tag so you get a "malformed tag" error.

There are 2 ways to avoid it.
1. Use CDATA tags eg.

Code: Select all

	<waypoint x="nnnn" z="nnnnn"><![CDATA[
		-- Lua code here with '<' symbols
	]]></waypoint >

2. Or just flip the condition around so instead of

Code: Select all

if a < b then

you use

Code: Select all

if b > a then

Or instead of using

Code: Select all

if a <= b then

you use

Code: Select all

if b >= a then

thanks guys!

new implemented code works like a cHARM
