Get character slot

[ratzuk]

Hi, I know you can get the name of the current player using player.Name. Is it possible to retrieve the slot number (1-8) of the current player?

You mean on the character selection screen?

Try

Code: Select all

CharacterSelectListScrollBar:GetValue() + 1

No, not on the character selection screen, while the bot is running.

I'll explain what I am trying to do:
I use the autologin (Loginxml) to run the Elven daily for tokens on an account with 8 characters using random character names. I would like the bot to give an indication of it's progress by outputting the current slot number to the bot window as it progresses.

Such as:

Code: Select all

printf("Bot"..<BotNumber>.." Completed "..dailyQuestCount.." from " .. dailyQuestsPerDay ..    " daily quests, now " .. dailyQuestsPerDay - dailyQuestCount .. " remain.");

Where <BotNumber> is the current character slot

Thanks

I didn't mean at the selection screen(how can you enter a command there anyway?). I was asking you if you meant you wanted to know which character you are playing from the character selection screen because I didn't now what you meant by "character slot"?

I just rechecked it, it looks like I was wrong anyway. It doesn't work.

Had another look and found

Code: Select all

CHARACTER_SELECT.selectedIndex

that should hold the last character selected. See if that works.

One of these days I gotta update AutoLogin. It's on my todo list.

No I want to know the character number from within the bot itself so it can report how far through the available characters it is (1-8)

What i need to know is how to send the value of:

Code: Select all

CHARACTER_SELECT.selectedIndex

back to the bot in some way, as using it from within the bot

Code: Select all

<waypoint x="31845" z="4588">
			local dailyQuestCount, dailyQuestsPerDay= RoMScript("Daily_count()"); 
     			if 10 == dailyQuestCount then
					printf("Completed "..dailyQuestCount.." from " .. dailyQuestsPerDay ..    " daily quests. Change character.");
      				sendMacro("}LoginNextToon=true;a={")
         			sendMacro("Logout();"); yrest(60*1000) -- wait 1m for next character to load
         
         			-- Re-initialize player
         			player = CPlayer.new();
         			settings.load();
         			settings.loadProfile("default"); -- Profile name
         			yrest (4000)
         
         			loadPaths("Elven Island/Daily"); -- First script
      			else
      				printf("Bot "..CHARACTER_SELECT.selectedIndex.." Completed "..dailyQuestCount.." from " .. dailyQuestsPerDay ..    " daily quests, now " .. dailyQuestsPerDay - dailyQuestCount .. " remain.");
      			end
			player:target_NPC("Blinsik");
			sendMacro("OnClick_QuestListButton(1, 2)"); yrest(750);
			sendMacro("AcceptQuest()"); yrest(2000);	
		</waypoint>

gives an error

Code: Select all

[string "..."]:16: attempt to index global 'CHARACTER_SELECT' (a nil value)

BTW AutoLogin is working perfectly

That's what I meant. I know what your asking but obviously I'm not making myself clear. Anyway, let's just move on.

What i need to know is how to send the value of:

CHARACTER_SELECT.selectedIndex

back to the bot in some way

You do it as you would normally do to get a value from the game,

Code: Select all

RoMScript("CHARACTER_SELECT.selectedIndex")

You were treating it as a rombot variable which it isn't. That's why you got the error.

Thanks rock5. All working now
