HOWTO: Obtaining Recipe Information

[Amadeus]

Here is a 'concept' script that shows how one might iterate through all recipes on a given character and output information about those recipes to a file.

function main()
{
     variable int i = 1
     variable string FileName = "../Extensions/eq2RecipeInfoDatabase.txt"
 
     ; Open up the recipe window initially.  That loads up most of the recipe information
     EQ2Execute /toggletradeskills
     wait 10
     EQ2Execute /toggletradeskills     
 
     echo Please standby.  This may take a few minutes...
     redirect -append ${FileName} echo Total Number of Recipes: ${Me.NumRecipes}\n-----\n
 
     do
     {
        ; Check to see if the information is already loaded into the client.  If not, pull up
        ; an 'examine' window to obtain the information.
        if (${Me.Recipe[${i}].PrimaryComponent.Length} == 0)
        {
           Me.Recipe[${i}]:Examine
           wait 2
           EQ2Execute /close_top_window
           wait 2
        }
 
        ; Now you can process the information as you see fit.  Here is a few examples:
        redirect -append ${FileName} echo Recipe Number: ${i}
        redirect -append ${FileName} echo Name: ${Me.Recipe[${i}].Name}
        redirect -append ${FileName} echo Description: ${Me.Recipe[${i}].Description}
        redirect -append ${FileName} echo PrimaryComponent: ${Me.Recipe[${i}].PrimaryComponent}
        redirect -append ${FileName} echo Build Component 1: ${Me.Recipe[${i}].BuildComponent1.Name} (Quantity: ${Me.Recipe[${i}].BuildComponent1.Quantity})\n\n
 
        ; ...and so forth.   The wiki has been updated at  http://www.ismods.com/wiki/index.php/ISXEQ2:recipe_%28Data_Type%29 so as to include
        ; all of the new 'recipe' datatype members.
 
     }
     while ${i:Inc} <= ${Me.NumRecipes} 
 
     echo Finished!
 
}
