Simple Twister script

[exec85]

Hey,

with my Knight of the blazing sun I am using a simple AutoIT script to let Twister change the auras automatically.
I dunno if it was already discussed in this forum so here it is:

1. Download the Addon Twister

in game put the 3 auras u want to use per drag and drop into the Twister frame.
richt click twister and see if the key no. is #119. (should be default)

2. Download the AutoIT script

3. I have set the script to press "J" to let the Twister change the auras.
So ingame u have to Bind the button #119 to "J" (u can also change the button by yourself, just need to edit the script)

Thats all, now start WAR, connect to your server and then switch to desktop and activate the autoIT script and let the script do the "work" for u

BTW it only works, if WAR window is active.

in case of questions .. ask

Is any of this your creation , or are you just posting stuff that is floating around elsewhere ?

[exec85]

As I said I dunno if this was already discussed here. I created the script by myself. Its not much because I do not have much experience in scripting, but for the use of Twister it is enough.
So I would say yes, it's my stuff

EDIT:
You can also use the script to let the Warrior Priest spam his group heal, or else. It only a script which presses a defined key in a defined period of time. You can change both.

then thank you for releasing it, although there are better ways to script for WAR ;-)

[exec85]

I am sure that there are better ways
It was an idea when I was playing my Warriior Priest in heal specc. while we attacked a keep and it tooks soooo long, and then I thought "hmm I don't want to push this butten 1 all the time over and over again..." so... yes it's my first script and I am happy if it helps someone

First of all, let me thank you, others may have better ideas how to script, but they're definately not posting them, and not all of us ( especially me) are good enough at autoIT to make something ourselves.
That said, there are a few kinks in the cable, mainly the aura's don't always fire off, mostly when in a fight with a few people.

IF that was fixed then it would be awesome.

Hey,
well I think with this script it's not possible. As It only pushes a butten after, let's say 3seconds. If u then exactly in that moment push another button, it will not change the aura.
As I said I am not very experienced in scripting. I am not sure if this can be modified. Maybe HansW or any other good coder have an idea?

When i play my Kotbs I mostly run around in a bomb grp, so i only have to kick and switch the auras For that it's absolutely good.

I'm afraid I cannot help u with that issue


EDIT:
One point could be the latency. I have got a 16mbit connection and if u got a lag, it is possible that the twisting chain is broken in that moment. you could try to edit the script a little bit. just raise the seconds a little bit. maybe this helps.

Can you add on and off button?

[rockman319]

I haven't looked at the au3 file but autoit has hotkey capability... I'm sure he can implement such to "pause" the twisting.

Hey i like the idea and its usefull for my chosen , but could you make the sleep like half a second or post the script file here? Thanks :wave:

[rockman319]

This is the script

 WHILE 1
 WHILE WINACTIVE("Warhammer: Age of Reckoning, Copyright 2001-2009 Electronic Arts, Inc.")
SEND("J")
SLEEP(3399)
SEND("J")
SLEEP(3400)
SEND("J")
SLEEP(3388)
 WEND
 WEND

Apparently it already has sleep of a little over 3 seconds...
and it has an extra "while" loop

[PharmerPhale]

This is the script

 WHILE 1 <- keeps the script running until it's closed
 WHILE WINACTIVE("Warhammer: Age of Reckoning, Copyright 2001-2009 Electronic Arts, Inc.") 
 ^- only sends/sleeps while warhammer has focus
SEND("J")
SLEEP(3399)
SEND("J")
SLEEP(3400)
SEND("J")
SLEEP(3388)
 WEND
 WEND

Apparently it already has sleep of a little over 3 seconds...
and it has an extra "while" loop

As you can see, no extra. This script could be better but I suppose it serves it's purpose. :wave:

Hi,

nice to see that some ppl can use it
As I am not very experienced in scripting (this script was my first try ) I actually do not know how to add an on/off function.
Like it is for now, if u change the window , for example u change to desktop, it will stop and will start again when WAR window is active.
