In the process of trying to write two scripts, one for selling fish in Langenfirth and one for selling gems, I had a couple of questions about scripting in StormFront and hoped this would be the place to ask.
I didn't want to have to write a separate chunk of "get gem, sell gem" for every one of the fifty-odd gem types, as that seemed like an inelegant waste of time. But I couldn't figure out how to do a FOR loop with anything except the nine command-line variables (using IF_# and SHIFT). Which obviously isn't enough. Is there some trick to iterating a loop a set number of more than nine times, exiting the script when you hit that top number?
I also couldn't figure out a way to do an "IF-THEN-ELSE" loop. Like, I wanted to do something like "PUT LOOK and if you don't see the description of the fishmonger's cabin, tell the user to hie there immediately and quit."
What I ended up doing was setting variables for each of the fish and looping through them with the counter. The last variable I set as "pole", so the script goes through all the fish possibilities, gets the pole, tries to weigh it, then terminates when it gets the message that poles can't be weighed.
With gems, I did the same basic thing, but have the user put some non-gem item in the gem pouch like grass. I then assign %1 to the last variable. When the script gets to that last one and tries to sell it, it quits when it gets the response from the gem buyer that it is not a gem or metal.
Both of those work, and the resulting scripts are much shorter and easier to update than the others I've downloaded, but it seems a bit kludgey. Is there a better way that I've missed?
Thanks in advance for any tips.

If you can call one script from another in SF, then create one that loops through shift and another that calls the looping one with all the gems on the command-line.
But there is no shift for regular variables.
Obligatory reference to how easy this would be to do with Genie ;-P

Not in stormfront.
Stormfront is... very limited by the lack of If_then
Dartenian says, "The thing that makes Dragon Dance king is that it pretty much bonuses every single that can possibly be buffed for combat. Including at least two things that don't even exist."

>If you can call one script from another in SF, then create one that loops through shift and another that calls the looping one with all the gems on the command-line.
I thought about this, and even started working on it, but came up short when I realized that the command line is limited to nine variables (or so it appears from the help section, I was hoping that's wrong but didn't have the heart to try it), and a lot more than nine kinds of fish or gems.
The other big hurdle I ran into was the use of "PUT" with a multiple-variable variable. I originally thought I could have varibles like "gem1" "gem2" "gem3" etc, and in the script use the counter for "put get %gem%c". But the actual output was not "get kunzite" as you'd hope (assuming "gem1" was "kunzite") but rather the literal string "gem1" or whatever the counter was at that point. Very frustrating. Eventually I got over that by making a new variable as follows:
>setvariable newGem %gem%c
I could then use "put get %newgem" and it worked as expected, outputting "get kunzite" where gem1 was "kunzite" and not the literal string "gem1".
I'm thinking now that for the gem script, at least, I ought to be able to do something with "LOOK IN MY GEM POUCH" but the problem with that is scroll -- I didn't want to have at least 57 "So and so looks in his gem pouch", and maybe dozens more depending on how many gems of each type you have.
So far the "terminating non-fish/non-gem item in the container" approach is working pretty well. The whole script is just a few dozen lines, and if I forget a fish or gem (which I did with gems), it's easy to just add a new "setvariable" line at the top and it's good to go. I never liked the old scripts where there were two big chunks of code for each possible gem type, plus how slow it was with all the pauses. This way's a lot faster.
Thanks for the comment, Mozzik, I am glad to know such loop logic doesn't exist in SF and not that I was just stupid, although I kind of wish I were just stupid so there'd be an elegant solution. Oh well.

It isn't... That is what SHIFT is for.
Try this...
#Test of SHIFT
START:
IF_1 GOTO MORE
GOTO END
MORE:
ECHO %1

Then call it like this:
.test 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
You should see 1-15 displayed in echoes.

This script is awesome. I've been using it ever since you posted it. Since I don't use bundles (fangs, tusks, etc), I also did one to sell skins using the same template.
And when Genie's author adds more array handling functions it'll even be better.

I find using something like this easier to use and edit since there's less variable juggling/setting:
#sell
if_9 goto start
put .sell gem1 gem2 gem3 ... gemx
exit
start:
### rest of script using shift to move down the list
I've used this general concept for everything from gem selling and gem clarifying to sorting inventory. For another way that it can be used see Aveda's instrument training script for SF. Its used in conjunction with saved variables to save your play difficulties between use.
<<I thought about this, and even started working on it, but came up short when I realized that the command line is limited to nine variables (or so it appears from the help section, I was hoping that's wrong but didn't have the heart to try it), and a lot more than nine kinds of fish or gems.
To expand on what PBOMBARD said... The command line isn't limited to nine variables. The user is only limited in picking out the first nine using %1 to %9. %0 will return the entire string including beyond the ninth variable, and shifting will shift them into usable position.

My sell script. It sells everything via rummage. .sell backpack /g. Would sell every gem in your backpack. I like this function because you can toss your gem pouch out, letting you store everything in your backpack. Also works with custom, .sell backpack "/c ruby".
.sell (container) (rummage options)
This script uses the new array functionality too. Enjoy.
## Created by Kurav
varset:
var type %1
var contents "empty"
var item

Thanks to everyone posting scripts. I hadn't gotten around to writing a new one yet, just been running to Rossman's to sell instead.

If you're going to facepalm, at least get it right. IF_1 is a binary check. Matchtables are a lot more similar to a standard if/then/else command than IF_1, despite the words being similar. There's also variations on goto blah%c with errorlabel as a backup. However, you have to realize that these are all crude approximations of a true if/then/else command.

... I was /facepalming him. If you look at the bottom of his sell script he posted, he made the comments I quoted. I didn't make that comparison. Yes, technically If_1 IS an if/then statement. But its completely(insanely) limited in its used compared to true IF / THEN. In the spirit of things, us saying SF has no true IF/THEN and then him spouting IF_1 as an example that it DOES, deserves a face palm.
I think we both agree on this. But go read the bottom of shunruis sell script and you will see where my comments came from.

That and my assumption that Stormfront was limited to the examples given.
I don't understand why Stormfront takes so much crap when I can write a script that will do pretty much anything I need it to do even when I'm only scratching the surface of regular expressions in the ones I write.
Then again I've never needed a script that will hunt armadillos for a week while I'm away on vacation.

The funny thing is, when I first started scripting with Genie 3 it all seemed really confusing and hard. Really really confusing and hard.
6 months later and I try to go back and write a SF script (wound costs) and I'm sitting there going "Oh god how can anyone write scripts like this, I can't do anything"
And at that moment I really appreciated how easy (and fun) it is to write scripts for Genie.
You can do so much more with so much less. I've taken some scripts (for example Kraelyst's climbing script for Crossing) and cut it down so I was left with one third of what it originally took.

If SF can do everything you need you don't need a lot. I can't live without actions if statements, evaluations, profiles, automapper, substitutions ect.

I could probably get my hunting script to work in Stormfront, given a lot of free time to work on it, but it would go from 2500-3000 lines to 4000-5000. Adding gosubs would do a lot.

Oh I forgot about the automapper! The fact that I have the ability to make my scripts start ANYWHERE and go to where they need to IS FANTASTIC!!

When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail?
I mean you can accomplish almost anything with wizard scripts. The thing is, you can do things more easily and more efficiently (both in terms of script size and runtime optimizations) with a better scripting language. I really enjoy writing new scripts most of the time.

Having built a few, I find the estimation a slight exaggeration, however, if you would like a core that simply needs the little details worked out, I've one you can have.
(I have 2 distinct cores, one for magic, one without, though I don't do ranged, so I don't have a third/fourth)
If there were no cost or sacrifice involved, there wouldn't be any benefits worth learning, and the entire system would be pointless. --GM Wythor

Honestly, I think he's understating the amount of code that genie can save you.
For instance, my script trains several weapons in south barricade celps, defenses and TM in north barricade celps, does shoplifting runs on ratha and in theren/lang and uses the ways to travel between. Of course I have to set a beam on kresh first, and my script doesn't leave unless at least one moon is high enough in the sky to allow me to return. If I get arrested, it pays my fine and resumes. But most importantly, it never gets tripped up due to lag, nor does it rely on the pause command which wastes time.
Granted, pretty much all of this is possible with stormfront, but I don't even want to think what kind of monster of a script this would require.

Me either.
Though with the loot updates and changes to the gathering commands, it has been cut in like, one third.
And you would be better off using linked scripts in SF, because of the one thing that is absolutely not available(in sf itself) a search line # function if you have to fix or tinker.

Granted they were nice additions, but...
You don't even loot in celps. But even if you did, I still don't think it would be close to 1/3 of any real script.

Depends on what you call a real script. My combat ones are ultra simplified and a mear 134 lines long, include hiding/stalking/skinning and looting. Most of the lines dedicated to hot switches.
