How to Turn on autosneak and auto Drag in SF. 07/11/2004 06:08 PM CDT
SF, is a great front end interface. It has the most fluent and most straight forward script engine. It also relies heavilly on macros.

Autosneak and AutoDrag are some of these macros you will want to install.

The number pads base movment mode is the 8 compass points, out, down, and up. shift, cntrl and alt are not set when you first get stormfront installed.

When using a macro, unless you want it to be acombination macro, where two sets of keys are pressed, make sure the suffix is \r. This sends the command to the game.

The prefix \x is suppose to force the command line to forget to remember this command. This function however is not currently working properly.

For our purposes we will use Shift+keypad, Cntrl+Keypad, and Alt+keypad.

First we will make an excruatingly small script. This small script will tell the autodrag command what you want to drag.

1. Making Autodrag Drag.

Click the options button. Highlight and select scripts. Select create script. Put AD on the name line, namming the script AD, or autodrag or however you will easily remember it. In the body place the single line following, and then save and close the script access.

SETVARIABLE AUTODRAG %1

To turn on autodrag, run .AD (item/person), then hold down the alt key while you move.

2. Setting the motion into motion.

Click the button with the down arrow beside the first tab button, normally marked (default) with the drop down list beside it. Select Edit Macros, then click create. Press your first key combo, then with the mouse put your cursor in the second blank line. Enter the command for the selected motion control, prefaced with the \x and suffaced with the \r. Following is a table. Then hold down the shift key to sneak in a direction, the control key to peer in a direction, and the alt key to drag something a given direction.

control+keypad5 \xpeer out\r
control+keypad6 \xpeer east\r
control+keypad7 \xpeer northwest\r

alt+keypad2 \xdrag %autodrag south\r

alt+keypad6 \xdrag %autodrag east\r
alt+keypad7 \xdrag %autodrag northwest\r
alt+keypad8 \xdrag %autodrag north\r
alt+keypad9 \xdrag %autodrag northeast\r


Now you should have auto sneak simply by holding down the shift key as you move.

You should also find it easier to look ahead, so you don't run into monsters that you cant handle, or players you don't want to see by holding the control button down.

And finally, you can now drag that deader all the way to crossing, simply by holding your alt key down as you move and waiting for the round time.
