guys made of bee pollen script

[asturia]

I have changed my twinkly wad script with the following, but I'm not sure if it will work or not.
Can someone verify if I didn't make a mistake?



int tobuy = 0;
int pollenused = 0;
int countpollen = 0;
if( item_amount( $item[guy made of bee pollen]) > 0)
{
while( item_amount( $item[guy made of bee pollen]) > 0 && counterpollen < 5)
{
use (1, $item[guy made of bee pollen]);
int pollenused = pollenused + 3;
countpollen = countpollen + 1;
}
}
tobuy = 15 - item_amount( $item[twinkly wad])- pollenused;
pollenused = 15 - pollenused;
if( tobuy > 0)
{
buy (tobuy, $item[twinkly wad]);
use (pollenused, $item[twinkly wad]);
}
else
{
use (pollenused, $item[twinkly wad]);
}

I studied your code and it seems to be doing the equivalent of this:


* * // How many guys to use from inventory at 3 spleen each
* * int guys = item_amount( $item[ guy made of bee pollen ] );

* * // How many wads to use from inventory or the mall at 1 spleen each
* * int wads = 15;

* * // Use up to five guys
* * if ( guys > 0 )
* * {
* * * * if ( guys > 5 )
* * * * * * guys = 5;
* * * * use( guys, $item[ guy made of bee pollen ] );
* * * * wads = wads - ( guys * 3 );
* * }

* * // Use up to fifteen wads
* * if ( wads > 0 )
* * {
* * * * int have = item_amount( $item[ twinkly wad ] );
* * * * if ( wads > have )
* * * * * * buy( wads - have, $item[ twinkly wad ] );
* * * * use( wads, $item[ twinkly wad ] );
* * }

Except you are using one pollen at a time in the loop and are (potentially) "using" 0 twinkly wads if you've used 5 guys. You are also assuming you have 15 spleen available. Perhaps that is always true when you run this script, but if you have Spleen of Steel and/or have used other spleen items (medicinal herbs, for example), it won't be true.

I never go for liver of steel and never use any other spleen item.
So my script would work fine.

Thanks for your suggestion, I will try yours and see if that works better then mine.
