Hi all

I need a bit of help sorting out a script.

What I'm trying to do is run through a list of variables, find the one I want and stop the script. Problem is that there is about 100 variables to be checked and its really slow as its checking all even if the one i want is the first.

#tr {Blah, blah in the (%*).} {name = %1;#if {@item1=""} {item1=@name};#if {@item2=""} {item2=@name};#if {@item3=""} {item3=@name};#if {@item4=""} {item4=@name};....etc}

How would i go about speeding up and/or shortening this?

I hope this is enough information

Thanks in advance

you could at an
#abort 1
statement to each of your condition true statements. There might be other options, also, like string lists or the #case statement, but its hard to tell what exactly you're trying to do.

Hi Emit, thanks for the swift reply.

What I'm trying to do is locate objects/mobs etc in game and put their locations in the status window for future use. I have an alias which I use to clear the @var I want to locate.

#al {find} {#var %1 = ""; ~find %1}

then I trigger on the response as shown above.

What I want to be able to do is run through the list of variables, find the "" one, fill it with the @name and stop the script.

ah! i'm beginning to see.

quote:

#al {find} {#var %1 = ""; ~find %1}

you could save the name of the variable in a different variable

#al {find} {#var %1 "";#var curvar %1;~find %1}
#tr {Blah, blah in the (*)} {#var {@curvar} %1}

putting the curly braces around @curvar in the last statement will force it to be evaluated before the variable is created/value assigned.
