Party Scripting

MikeMasters

I am interested to learn more about how this is done, specifically the Solaufein auto-buff script from Weimer. Using this script, a single key press can automatically cast multiple spells instantly. I understand that its not just a case of opening his script to see how its been done as the scripts are compiled?

Can anyone recommend some reading on how to go about doing this?

There's SimDing0's scripting guide. I can't say I have ever read it (and thus can't vouch for it) but I imagine it is good stuff.
Caveat lector: it is rather old. While IE scripting has not fundamentally changed, best practices and tooling may have.

I would definitely recommend it! Also.. anything you can dig up on a search for Spork or Kensai Ryu and Xyx's advanced tactics and manuevers. Don't have any specific links any more ... but if you download the Ascension mod.. that is Spork, Xyx and David Gaider's work for examples.

Thanks guys, thats good reading. Any examples on how I can cast multiple spells with 0 casting time like the Solaufein auto-buff script?

You could look here too: http://www.shsforums.net/forum/279-yovaneths-scripts/. I included all of the source code with the downloads, plus Goren Rimen's scripting guide is also included.

IF
CombatCounter(0)
ActionListEmpty()
CheckStatLT(Myself,1,STONESKINS)
HaveSpell(WIZARD_STONE_SKIN)
CheckStatLT(Myself,5,SPELLFAILUREMAGE)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
ReallyForceSpell(Myself,WIZARD_STONE_SKIN)
END
