Improving My Script

[ColdDeath]

Okay in previous posts I tried to use small pieces of my script. That didn't work, because it was to confusing for everyone.

So! I'll try to explain it as simple as possible about what the script does, and maybe you can try it. So you can give me tips about how to improve it.

The script is used on a TBMMORPG (aka Turn Based Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game ) gc.gamestotal.com (Realtime Server).

Note: It's Turn based, so almost every action you do requires turns. Every 8 seconds you get a turn.

The goal of my script is to gain 850 land planets

Build Viator Ships => Explore => Found Planet

When planet has been found script will find out how much land the Planet has:

If it has 849 or less:

Manage Planets => Clicks on planet => Plunders it (plundering it = deleting it) After it the script will loop.

If it has 850 or more:

Script will loop and will find another planet

And what type of planet it is.

You can't plunder a X-planet, so I build aggresive ships so other players will attack me.

When aggresive ships have been build, he will research commercial. (the higher the level the more you will earn).

Here are the 3 scripts build for resolution: 1280 x 1024 Webbrowser Firefox

The problems

- Sometimes waiting for 8 seconds for a page to load, isn't enough. Result: I miss a whole loop.

- I have to run 3 scripts (I just want to run one)

- Mouseclick coordinates takes a lot of time.

- I know it's really primitive...

- It only works on one screensize

- AutoIt doesn't support Mozilla Firefox

- etc, etc, etc

So my question is: Because I'm a real newbie, and this is as advance as I can get.

If you have time, could you improve my script, please?

Thanks in advance,

ColdDeath

I didn't look closely but why not use functions? There is also an FF.au3 script that allows some FF automation. You could also use ControlClick() instead of MouseClick() and a few other functions in the FF.au3 to make it work with all screensizes.

As I said, I'm just a newbie, I don't know how the FF.au3 works, so some explaining would be thankfull.

ControlClick? Like same as MouseClick, but no visable mouse? (hmmm... should look cool though!)

[dbzfanatic]

Well if you DL the FF.au3 and read through the code you might start to understand. Also ControlClick() doesn't use your mouse,it simulates moving the mouse and clicking. It's easier than you think once you understand how it works. Do you understand what I mean about consolidating your scripts into functions?

Reading through FF.au3... that's a REALLY big chunck to read through...

Mouseclick also simulates the mouse movements...

Do you understand what I mean about consolidating your scripts into functions?

Sorry, my english vocabulary isn't that extended jet.

[FireFox]

your game is in webbrowser like firefox ?

if it's right it's better to use IE because you have lot of functions for ctrl read etc...

Good idea, I'll go to IE!

@ColdDeath:

Why reading through the FF.au3, why don't you use the documentation?
