Print Buff to File

[sdude13]

For the current event it's nice to login with every character and get the story-buff.
before login next tron i'd like to print it to a file.
So after all characters are done, i can check the list an login the correct character.
How can I actually print the right buff to the file (not all buffs if possible only the story buff).

Waypoint

Code: Select all

		player:target_NPC(119137);
		player:rest(2);
		sendMacro("ChoiceOption(2);"); -- get Buff
		player:rest(2);
		player:update();
		local filename = getExecutionPath() .. "/logs/buffs.log";
		local file, err = io.open(filename, "a+");
		if file then
			file:write(" Character name: " ..player.Name.. ". \tDate: " .. os.date() .. ". \t Buff: ".. THEBUFF .. "\n")
			file:close();
		end
               sendMacro("}LoginNextToon=true;a={")
               sendMacro("Logout();");
               waitForLoadingScreen();
		player = CPlayer.new();
		settings.load();
		settings.loadProfile("xxxxxx");
                loadPaths("xxxx");

untested but something like this, not sure if the buff is story or Story, could probably make it lower I guess then it won't matter.

userfunction

Code: Select all

function logbuffevent()
	local filename = getExecutionPath() .. "/logs/eventbuff.log";
	local file, err = io.open(filename, "a+");
	for i, buff in pairs(player.Buffs) do
		if string.find("story", string.lower(buff)) then
			if file then
				file:write(" Character name: " ..player.Name.. "   \tDate: " .. os.date() .. " Buff: "..buff.."\n")
				file:close();
			end
		end
	end
end

in WP

Code: Select all

logbuffevent()
sendMacro("}LoginNextToon=true;a={")
sendMacro("Logout();");
waitForLoadingScreen();

This is under the assumption the buff has "story" in it, I can't remember if it does or not.
If it doesn't then you will need to create a table of all of the buff names and do a search of the buff names against the players current buffs. Little bit more involved but still very doable.

thx so far, however i get the problem with the table:

[string "..."]:6: bad argument #1 to 'lower' (string expected, got table)

[rock5]

Try changing

Code: Select all

string.lower(buff)

to

Code: Select all

string.lower(buff.Name)

[sdude13]

no error but also no output:

i changed to:

Code: Select all

 file:write(" Character name: " ..player.Name.. "   \tDate: " .. os.date() .. " Buff: "..buff.Name.."\n")

that seems to work
if i disable the

Code: Select all

if if string.find("erz", string.lower(buff.Name)) then

The buff has a German Special character its called "Erzählerisches Element..."
so i tryed with "erz" and "Erz".. but none working.

In english they used
Story Element
Maybe we can just do check for Element:
Also I didn't realise buff wasn't the actual name, so this should work

Code: Select all

function logbuffevent()
   local filename = getExecutionPath() .. "/logs/eventbuff.log";
   local file, err = io.open(filename, "a+");
   for i, buff in pairs(player.Buffs) do
      if string.find("Element:", buff.Name) then
         if file then
            file:write(" Character name: " ..player.Name.. "   \tDate: " .. os.date() .. " Buff: "..buff.Name.."\n")
            file:close();
         end
      end
   end
end

I did concider getting a list of all the buff id's but when I logged lots of alts and got buffs I got to over 10 different names before i stopped counting.
There is probably a list in the US forums regarding buff names and how many.

[sdude13]

no, it seems it does not search in the String.
"Element" is not working.

I'll be away for some hours now. will try to get it work when back.

[lisa]

Sorry had it backwards for the search =(

Tested and works.

Code: Select all

function logbuffevent()
   local filename = getExecutionPath() .. "/logs/eventbuff.log";
   local file, err = io.open(filename, "a+");
   for i, buff in pairs(player.Buffs) do
   printf(buff.Name.."\n")
      if string.find(buff.Name , "Element") then
         if file then
            file:write(" Character name: " ..player.Name.. "   \tDate: " .. os.date() .. " \tBuff: "..buff.Name.."\n")
            file:close();
         end
      end
   end
end

file print looks like this

Code: Select all

Character name: XXXXX	Date: 09/08/11 16:54:00 	Buff: Story Element: Innocent Girl

I will test it, when back at my gaming pc. I guess it works here too,
so thank you in advance !

[lisa]

there are 3 mage buffs with Element in the name, so you may get some stray prints to the file. Wouldn't be many though.

[sdude13]

its working.

how can I add the current logged in "account name" to the character ?
I've seen that in some post here but did not find it any more.

wiki
So in the bot it would be like this

Code: Select all

accountname = sendMacro("GetAccountName()")
