Auto Responding: How to in 5s

How to Auto Respond in 5 Seconds!

well, i have never made a long tutorial and this will not be the first time. My tutorials so far are always about things i think might go unnoticed.

So you have this script which works fairly fine but it doesn't have an autoresponder. What do you do?

You really have two choices. you either make a really cool autoresponder by yourself and use it or you use someone else's. but you don't want to go through the pain of meddleing in the other person's script. And this is where i can help you

I don't know how many of you have the habbit of just simply exploring your SRL folders. I do.

function FindNormalRandoms: Boolean;
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  for i := 1 to 9 do
  begin
    case I of
      1: Result := SolveNonTalkingRandoms;
      2: Respond;
      3: Result := FindTalk;
      4: Result := FindDead;
      5: Result := FindLamp(LampSkill);
      6: if FindBox then
          Result := SolveBox;
      7: Result :=  RC;
      8: Result := FindMod;
      9: if (SRL_Procs[srl_OnRandomCall] <> nil) then
           SRL_Procs[srl_OnRandomCall]();
    end;
    if Result then
    begin
      if (SRL_Procs[srl_OnFindRandom] <> nil) then
        SRL_Procs[srl_OnFindRandom]();
      Break;
    end;
    //Wait(1);
  end;
end;

this is in AntiRandoms.scar in /core/antirandoms.

we've all seen it before, nothing new... but notice this:
" 2: Respond; "

Now, have you ever seen srl responding just simply by itself? Think about it.... If you are not a dev then the correct answer is no

function Respond:Boolean;
Begin
Result := False;
end;

This is how Respond looks. pretty useless to us really. But the potential in it is that everytime you call FindNormalRandoms it will also call the Responder. And that responder will be in any script that uses srl

so how to get your responder into any script? Easy

Change the inside part of Respond to your responder

Respond is in srl/core/CAutoRespond.scar

Tip: Read through srl. There are actually lots of useful stuff in there

I really should start looking through the SRL files, they have some pretty interesting and useful things in them, just need to get them downloaded properly in this machine.

Great tut!

do you think nava's could be added to srl which will mean everyone will have a autoresponder?

There is not an AutoResponder in srl because it was chosen not to release an auto responder. probably to avoid everyone answering the same things.

If any auto-responder gets added to srl it will probably be from the person who wins the Auto Responder scripting competition.
