I've been trying to make a script that automagically destroys wheat when looking at and automatically places a seed when looking at farmland(holding seeds), however, it's not working:

$${
TOGGLE(wheatfarm)
IF(wheatfarm)
DO
IF( (HITNAME = "Crops")
ECHO(HITNAME)
KEY(attack)
ENDIF
IF(HITID = "farmland")
KEY(use)
ENDIF
LOOP

ENDIF
}$$

Currently if i'm looking at farmland it will work, but if looking at wheat, nothing happens.
Any ideas?

Hello again!

I seem to have discovered a bug in the macro mod. Unless it's a known bug, in which case I apologize.

But, I was attempting a script that would issue a certain command if other buttons were pressed. Literally if CTRL and A are pressed, I wanted it to change my gamemode to survival.


I'll place the code in a spoiler here for the sake of total clarity, but it will likely be irrelevant as I know that the script works.

An explanation of the bug is simple. When I open chat (or, it would seem, almost literally any GUI menu screen) if I press those buttons, the command is entered in complete disregard of the open GUI.

This is annoying, because I also have commands bound to CTRL+C and CTRL+V. If I need to copy something, I'll also end up issuing commands that I don't want to issue at those moments.

Edit moments later:

It's something I can bare with for now. It's not really a huge problem because I don't often use the keys to which I'm assigning the commands. Hence why I've bound them to those in the first place.

in the most basic terms, If/can you describe how I can make a Label that will tell me how many 351:1 (Red Dye) 351:2 (Cactus Green) 351:4 (Lapis) 351:5 (Purple Dye) I have within my inventory? :3

You can't check it without opening your inventory, but in most cases your inventory shouldn't change unless you actually open it, so you can onGuiChange to count them every time you open the inventory (and remember to reopen and close it after you change things?)
or have it constantly check and recheck while it is open

The hotbar can be tracked with GetSlotItem(n) where n is 1-9, so dropping from and picking up to there is fine
picking up to the inventory you can keep track of by onPickupItem

You have two opening parentheses in that IF.., not sure if that's a problem
is "Crops" the exact hitname for wheat?, i'm assuming it didn't echo either

I don't really understand what you mean by that, but as a hacky solution, you could add an IF(GUI = "something") if you want to limit it to certain GUI's

But i feel like you're going about it in a really hacky way..., could you explain all the hotkeys you want and how you want to use them (like, if you want them not to work in certain GUI screens and stuff)

I would guess that your override key is CTRL. Normally scripts shouldn't execute in the chat except when the override key is held down.

I did experiment with the GUI variable a bit when I discovered the issue.

I don't have any of that code saved, so I can't post it here. But I can show what I remember. Which is something like:

    IF(GUI=chat);
        [insert chat specific hotkeys which would all LOG(Negative!);]
    ELSE;
    [insert what I wanted to happen without chat here]

As for my hotkeys, there are a lot | here are some (the most relevant):

    IF(CTRL);
        IF(KEY_F);
            ECHO(/fly);
        ENDIF;
        IF(KEY_G);
            ECHO(/god);
        ENDIF;
        IF(KEY_A);
            ECHO(/gm 0);
        ENDIF;
        IF(KEY_S);
            ECHO(/gm 1);
        ENDIF;
        IF(KEY_D);
            ECHO(/gm 2);
        ENDIF;
    ENDIF;

Nop! My override key is TAB.

I would have thought that they wouldn't trigger if I had any menu open, just as you said. Simple logic would deem us to be correct, no?

Until/unless someone fixes this script to not run in chat or other menus, or unless Mumfrey says otherwise, I'll equate this to a bug and deal with it until it's solved in a future release.

Quote from Mart3323

Oh.., well, i apologise then

Not necessary. My mistake in the post here caused the confusion.

Quote from Mart3323

Not sure why it wouldn't work actually.., everything else looks fine to me
is the control name exactly the same as well?
does it work if you use a number instead? as in SETPROPERTY(MyProgressBar,max,5)

Yes. The control name is the same. Matter of fact, I copied that line from another line that sets the expression...

SETPROPERTY(MyProgressBar,expression,%#mycounter%);

As a test, I set up a couple of test macro keybinds so I could just play around with setting this value using various methods. I bound the following...

CTRL+ALT+U

$${SETPROPERTY(MyProgressBar,max,30)}$$

CTRL+ALT+I

$${SETPROPERTY(MyProgressBar,max,60)}$$

CTRL+ALT+O

$${SETPROPERTY(MyProgressBar,max,@#myvalue)}$$

...the value of [myvalue] being 30.

None of these key bindings changed the maximum value of the Progress Bar. I'm guessing this is a bug, or just not implemented?

Quote from Mumfrey

*snip*

Apologies for accusing the mod of a bug, when I simply didn't understand what I was doing, then

But, yes, I'm running it on a constant loop. I'm doing this because I have way too many bindings that I want to use but can't because limited keyboard space (I'm very lazy). So I've been using one key for multiple commands. I'd post my entire script, but it's immensely long as I want it to do several things based on whatever it is I'm doing/the world's doing/what I'm pressing.

Is there a way, then, (that I don't currently understand) to stop the script from issuing the command if I have chat open and press those keys?

Yeah, i can't figure these out either, you're probably right

As a workaround, you can tick the [expr] checkbox and use global variables @#progressmin and @#progressmax for your bar (or just max, if that's the only side you change), then Set() those instead
that works fine for me

Yes, IF(GUI != chat)?

But really, you should be binding the keys instead.., you can bind several commands to a key by putting the condition IN the key
think of it like events.., you only want to do something when a button is pressed, so you should make the script only run when a button is pressed

then you can check IF(CTRL);Echo(/ctrlaction);ELSEIF(shift);Echo(/shift action);ELSE;KeyDown(forward);ENDIF and stuff like that
a background process is a VERY bad idea.., even just making sure that it only runs once per keypress would be a ton more code, and you're already running it a thousand times more often than you need to


Edit: Better option already above.., didn't notice because mcforums is weird =P

Quote from Knolle95

Suggestion:

QUIT
EXIT
QuitGame

so if I'm in a game I can instantly quit MC by just pressing a key.
of course, i could use "alt+F4" but I like it with a keybind more.
maybe some ppls know the game "Teeworlds".
Open Source game. This game also has the function "Quit".

It's useful cause if you're online and want to quit mc very fast and quickly a keybind would be sick.
Sometimes it happens to me that I want to press my keybind of "teeworlds" to quit MC, but not possible to, cause the command doesn't exist.

While most likely possible, it seems kinda out of the scope of macros, being built as a mod that runs strictly ingame, and exits out ( Disconnect() ) to just outside that
Perhaps a module? well, again, if it's possible, it might be, but i wouldn't say for sure =P



As a more extensible solution, have you considered using third party applications to just send an alt-f4 to the system when you press that combination of yours?
I have one program like that i use sometimes, and another for my mouse that i use constantly (my lmb is borderline broken, i click with my mouse4)

Hello! I need a bind to the flint and steel survival games. I mean, if I press "R" to take me directly to slot 4, and when I look down I put my direct fire, and when I press one to take me on slot 1. Thanks in advance!

I don't really understand.., try this

$${Slot(4);#x = %YAW%;#y = %PITCH%;Look(0,0);Key(use);Look(%#x%,%#y%);Slot(1)}$$

No. I'm on slot 1 and press R, I want to take the slot 5 and when I look down I automatically put flint and steel.

Try pressing 5 to go to slot five?
As for looking down to automatically place flint and steel, that involves having a loop constantly running in the background.

I still don't understand what this part means D=>
look down and light yourself on fire?
wait until you're looking down and then light yourself on fire?

what is the use case, what do you want to do with it?, i'm very confused

Quote from DevilsMountain

Does anybody know how to make a command that when a player joins it will say:

Welcome Back *Players Variable Name*

I've been trying all night so I need some help. thanks!

putting "Welcome back %JOINEDPLAYER%" in the onPlayerJoined Event Macro Bind should do what you ask

For anyone that knows more about this mod than I do, what are the names of all the different GUIs? I have a script that starts an automated crafting cycle (CRAFTANDWAIT) and asks for the item with $$i and an amount with $$?. I want to add something to the end that will close the crafting GUI. Thanks

I don't think variables work in straight up bindings.., try $${Echo(Welcome back %JOINEDPLAYER%)}$$ instead


You can use Gui("") to close out and go back into the game
for the names of any other GUIs, bind a key to $${Log(%GUI%)}$$ and use it with macro override in whatever GUI you're wondering about
