help with semi-rares / set_property

Does anyone know how I can keep "relayCounters" from halting my ASH scripts?

I'm trying to write a simple ASH script that adventures for semi-rares without halting when "relayCounters" hits my turn count. I found some posts on this forum that talked about this, but nothing seems to work.

I've tried the command:

set_property("relayCounters", $string[my_turncount() + 250]);

to stop the script from halting, but as soon as I've adventured once, "relayCounters" goes back to what it was before I used set_property.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Wherever you simply say "adventure(1, location)" you need to capture the result of the adventure function with something like "boolean result = adventure(1, location)".

Thanks for the help Veracity. I'm still, however, not quite getting it...

I just ran the following script (after eating 2 fortune cookies):

string foo = "";
int bar = -1;
string result = "";
int resnum = -1;
int togo = 250;

foo = get_property("relayCounters");
bar = index_of(foo,":Fortune");
result = substring(foo,0,bar);
resnum = to_int(result);
togo = resnum-my_turncount();

boolean result = adventure(togo,$location[fantasy airship]);
result = adventure(1,$location[Outskirts of The Knob]);
result = adventure(10,$location[fantasy airship]);

...and then I ran into the same problem. As soon as I hit zero turns until the semi-rare, I got the error message "Fortune Cookie counter expired" and my script halted.

Any ideas? thanks!

That should have worked. I'll have to look at it.

Edit: OK, I have a fix. We were generating a hard abort, not a soft, continuable error. I'll submit it by and by, but the following script got me a lunchbox...

I tried your ASH script and still got the same error.

I think the script halted just before it got to the line:

if ( result == false )
result = adventure(1,$location[Outskirts of The Knob]);

I can't figure out why the script would work for you but not for me...

On a mildly related note, my newbie self wonders how you make that nice box to display your code.

It could be because I am a KoLmafia developer and fixed the source code. That's why I said "I have a fix and will submit it, by and by."

Thanks again Veracity! I really appreciate your help.
