An Autoresponder...

[final_result]

I've been using several scripts for sometime and I'm having a hard time editing them.. I'm trying to set up a auto responder for some of the scripts I have... I'm not too quite sure how to do that as I've looked at some other autoresponders (such as Zephyr's tree one) but they are at least 100 lines and I have no idea how to write an autoresponder like that. The only tut I could fine was 8 months old and I doubt that's really useful

Could someone show me how to make a simple autoresponder and where to insert it into a script?

Just do what Zephypoo does in his script? You can take his and use it how it how he does. :]

Just do what Zephypoo does in his script?

ZEPHYPOO?

Anyways, I have no idea how the autoresponder works, I don't have any idea what those hundreds of lines of code mean. I tried :o

[TRiLeZ]

procedure AutoRespond;
begin
case lowercase(GetChatBoxText(8, clChat)) of
'hey': TypeSend('Hey man');
end;
end;

Its as simple as that.
Made by myself :)

[final_result]

I'll try putting that in my script.. Not sure how it works though.

[TRiLeZ]

My procedure gets the blue chat in the 8th line and the case is like if the chat is 'hey' then it will type and send 'Hey man'.

Call that procedure everytime you want the script to auto respond to anything said.

Basically what an autoresponder is:

Check for other players' chat.
Cross reference the players' chat with what you're looking for.
If players' chat matches what you're looking for then respond.


Step 1, usually pretty simple. You just need some place to find what other people are saying. Its easiest to use the chatbox as it shows all the text in a small area. (I've seen people trying to use the mainscreen too though). Try having a look at Chat.scar for functions that Get the ChatBox Text or Find the chat box text.

Step 2, I'd say this is the hardest part as it can get very complicated. For small autoresponders this is isn't too hard but as you try to add lots of triggers and responses it can get very inefficient and slow. A simple method is to get the chat box text in the last line then just checking if your deserved trigger words are in that line.

Step 3. You have to be careful here too. You must have a variety of responses so that you don't look like a bot and respond to everything with the same phrase. In a simple responder you could just randomly choose the phrases. Then use TypeSend() to type the text into the game.

So final result: Simple autoresponder (that you probably shouldn't use without major modifications).

procedure AutoRespond;
var
RandomNum: Integer;
LastLineText: string;
begin
LastLineText := Lowercase(GetChatBoxText(8, clBlue)); //Step 1
if (Pos('hi', LastLineText) > 0) or (Pos('hello', LastLineText) > 0) or (Pos('hey', LastLineText) > 0) then //Step 2
begin
WriteLn('Found autoresponder text');
RandomNum := Random(3);
case RandomNum of //Step 3
0: TypeSend('hello');
1: TypeSend('hi');
2: TypeSend('hey');
end;
Exit;
end;
if (Pos('wc lvl', LastLineText) > 0) or (Pos('wc level', LastLineText) > 0) or (Pos('cutting lvl', LastLineText) > 0) then //Step 2
begin
WriteLn('Found autoresponder text');
RandomNum := Random(3);
case RandomNum of //Step 3
0: TypeSend(IntToStr(YourWCLevel));
1: TypeSend('my wc is ' + IntToStr(YourWCLevel));
2: TypeSend('my wc level is ' + IntToStr(YourWCLevel));
end;
Exit;
end;
end;

Using "if"s for the responder is slow when you have like 5+ "if"s. Use a case and it will go a lot faster. Change that ^ into a case and it will basically look like my responder I gave.

Ill show you my full autoresponder that Im still adding to.

Responds in less than a second.

It isn't slow and your example doesn't do what mine does exactly. With your example the last line has to equal your text exactly, I just check if the trigger is part of it.

[TRiLeZ]

Oh sorry I thought that it reads the text everytime scar checks for re-occurance.
I read that wrong

[DeSnob]

That's the issue i've been having, never knew how to search in the phrase. Thanks for explaining it!

[Zyt3x]

One extra note:
When using "case ... of" then it is possible to do
case I of
0, 1, 2 : WriteLn('I is either 0, 1 or 2');
3..5: WriteLn('I is inbetween 3 and 5.');
6: WriteLn('I is 6');
7..10: WriteLn('I is higher than 6 but lower than 11.');
end;
Instead of
case I of
0: WriteLn('I is either 0, 1 or 2');
1: WriteLn('I is either 0, 1 or 2');
2: WriteLn('I is either 0, 1 or 2');
3: WriteLn('I is inbetween 3 and 5.');
4: WriteLn('I is inbetween 3 and 5.');
5: WriteLn('I is inbetween 3 and 5.');
6: WriteLn('I is 6');
7: WriteLn('I is higher than 6 but lower than 11.');
8: WriteLn('I is higher than 6 but lower than 11.');
9: WriteLn('I is higher than 6 but lower than 11.');
10: WriteLn('I is higher than 6 but lower than 11.');
end;

:)

[final_result]

Ok so I believe to use a autoresponder correctly I should just insert this into the script somewhere as a procedure and then put it into the Main Loop somewhere?

[Blumblebee]

yes you can. Frankly i think an autoresponder is somewhat dangerous, remember to not add it to everything you do right. And if you do use it, customize the responses as much as possible.

I forgot that I could do that in cases, thanks.
final_result, make sure the auto responder dosnt respond to yourself
if LastChatter(Players[CurrentPlayer].Name) then Exit;
And wait like 500 ms after response or else it will respond twice.

here is a good one i just made.

for i := 0 to high(tsa) do
begin
if (Pos(TSA[i], LastLineText) > 0) then
bool:= true;
wait(3);
end;
if bool then
begin
writeln('Found some text');
case random(3) of

that just responds to anything like hey.

[final_result]

Ok I'll try using these. Thanks for guiding me. It's just that when you are chopping trees in the same place for 2 hours and you don't say a word when they ask you your wc level or say hi., I can almost see the cogs turning in the noobs heads, "is he a bot?"

It's ok if I say somewhat irrelevant things to their questions, that just makes me look stupid and thats ok :D

EDIT: How often should I have it check for autoresponding text?

[Rich]

As often as you like.
