Is there a way to use Virindi Item Tool with a meta?

[vtdt]

Basically I want to hand items over at a fast rate, I know I can somewhat do this with just running a meta state over and over until an item count in inventory is met but I was wondering if there was a way to control VIT directly?

[Immortalbob]

nothing listed on the vwiki about it...

however @hellswrath might know more than the vwiki, haha

not directly no, the only way to use VIT with meta is by using magtools /mt clicks which honestly is not a very foolproof solution.

an alternate solution is to hand the item using a nav route and /mt givep instead of restarting meta state over and over then react to low item count.

You could make up your own little VIT type meta.. I'll see if I have time today to whip up an example.

[Dmdtt]

I thought about how you could apply expressions to make something like VIT using expressions and magtools /mt give command this is what I came up with, kind of a rough idea, needs a way to vary time between gives also perhaps a max number of items handed over? items handed over would be easy enough just add a counter each time you hand an item but how to set the max number I haven't figured out a good way yet.

Code: Select all

Chat Message: !setItem

ExprAct setvar[ItemName, wobjectgetname[wobjectgetselection[]]]

Code: Select all

Chat Message: !setTarget
 
 ExprAct setvar[TargetName, wobjectgetname[wobjectgetselection[]]]

Code: Select all

Chat Message: !giveItem

ExprChat \/mt\ give\ +getvar[ItemName]+\ to\ +getvar[TargetName]

if only we could use getvar[ItemName] in a inventory item count then you could set it to stop whenever you run out of the item.

Damn you.. that's exactly what I was going to do.

[Dmdtt]

Damn you.. that's exactly what I was going to do.

lol mine wouldn't work very well however at least not yet. heh I wish we had a actiontrygiveitem[2] command in meta functions, wouldn't that be awesome? no more magtools requirement for most quests.

[yaroz]

Yup.. that'd be awesome.

Plus.. there's no way to set the max or timer without editing the meta..

hmm not quite, you could have it setup like this I suppose

each time it gives an item if a counter is set -1

Code: Select all

 Expr testvar[Counter]==1
 
 ExprAct setvar[Counter, getvar[Counter]-1]

and once counter reaches 0 and it has been set previously clear and stop meta give

Code: Select all

 All{Expr testvar[Counter]==1, getvar[Counter]==0}

ExprAct clearvar[Counter]

when you clear counter you also stop the meta. for setting how many times you would type /vt mexec setvar[Counter, #]

[Dmdtt]

timer would be similar you could set a timer variable /vt mexec setvar[Timer, 60]

Code: Select all

 all{Expr testvar[Timer]==1, Expr testvar[StopwatchTimer]==0}

ExprAct setvar[StopwatchTimer, stopwatchcreate[]];stopwatchstart[getvar[StopwatchTimer]]

then when timer=stopwatch clearvars

Code: Select all

 All{Expr testvar[StopwatchTimer]==1, Expr getvar[Timer]==stopwatchelapsedseconds[getvar[StopwatchTimer]]}

ExprAct clearvar[Timer];clearvar[StopwatchTimer]

Id probably use clearallvars[] and react to Expr testvar[TargetName]==0 to stopping the meta
