Question about creating a script from a part of another script (VG-DSC specifically)

[Taiel]

Not being a programmer myself, how hard would it be to take a piece of a script out of a particular script and make a new script out of it.

Here is what i am looking at:

I really like the Hunt routine that Zandros wrote for his VG-DSC script and would like to use it as a generic Hunt script that I could use with any character to find and pull mobs. I already use VGA to script character combat, and I like the reliability of that script.

I have used KBOT in the past, but it is too "hitchy" and just looks like its scripted, it doesn't look natural at all like the VG-DSC hunt routine does. Also KBOT doesn't always fire off abilities in the correct order and I have problems getting to fire off in-combat self buffs reliably. Not to mention that KBOT seems to "miss" a lot of mobs and just runs you right by them, or worse yet...through them.

Basically what I was hoping to do was remove the Hunt portion of the VG-DSC script and then create a new script from it with all the options that currently exist on the hunt portion of the UI from VG-DSC and just add a pull down menu to select the ability you wish to pull with.

What do you guys think? Am I undertaking too much? Should I just wait for Zandros?

Thanks for any assistance.

You just have to know what you're doing and you'll be fine.

I created my own automation script that does everything I need my group of automotons to do from resource harvesting, to pulling mobs to mezzes and rezzes. A lot of it was either trial and error looking up lavishsoft's and isxvg's wiki or reverse engineering bits of KBot, VGA and VGShaman.

Good luck with the script!
