Help me with "scriplets"?

[hippymon]

I use scripts from: http://kolmafia.us/index.php/topic,870.msg4512.html#msg4512 and in the "stash.txt" I would like to put the item in the mall instead of the clan stash, anyone know how to change this?

and

In the Breakfast script, I would like a add a scriptlet to acquire and use X can of hairspray, X=number of adventures divided by 3 (3 adv. of butt-rock hair are given per hairspray. Anyone know how to make this scriptlet?

 

[GhettoTrucker]

int Get_Hairspray = myadventures()/3
cli_execute("buy Get_Hairspray Hairspray");

And I am too lazy to check out the other script to see how it looks, in order to tell you how to change it. But good luck!

Well if it were ash it would use put_shop so since the txt file is using

stash put * stuffed spooky mushroom

for the put_stash
command I assume it would be

shop put * stuffed spooky mushroom

However, I am in hardcore and can't really test either the workings of the original script or this change.

Good luck.

Uh do you mean

int Get_Hairspray = my_adventures() / 3;
cli_execute("buy " + Get_Hairspray + " Hairspray");

?

Also because 10 divided by three equals 3.3333 if you have 10 adventures it will buy 3 leaving off 1 adventure. Instead:

int Get_Hairspray = my_adventures() / 3 + 1;

Finally:

Mallsell * stuffed spooky mushroom, * hairspray, * disco ball

Sorry that when I was asked over messenger I couldn't give a straight answer, my son and his grandma were fighting and dragging me into it again. It's impossible to think when they do that.

Thank you all!! Much-0 appreciated!

For the hairspray, if you have 11 adventures though, you'll end up two adventures short, so...

int Get_Hairspray = my_adventures() / 3 + my_adventures() % 3;

No?

 

[Veracity]

int Get_Hairspray = ( my_adventures() + 2 ) / 3;

 

[holatuwol]

Code snippet pile?

int Get_Hairspray = ceil( my_adventures() / 3 );

 

[GhettoTrucker]

What does the "Ceil()" function do?

What does the "Ceil()" function do?[/quote]Ceil(4.3) I believe return 5. So...if you have 8 adventures

int Get_Hairspray = ceil(my_adventures() /3);
print(Get_Hairspray);

would print 3, because ceil(8/3) = ceil(2.667) which is 3, so you'll always get the needed amount of hairspray that way. So any of the above 3 would work, we just all dealt with the remainder portion differently.

 

[holatuwol]

As macman104 summarized, "ceil" is basically an "always round up" function. If you want a more technical definition, check Wikipedia.

For people who pay attention during class, you should hear about it as early as first year algebra because it's a pretty fundamental function when you learn how to draw graphs (it's one of the three infamous 'step' functions, the other two being "floor" and "round").

For people who don't pay attention in class, it probably doesn't leave an impression on you until you take first year calculus and you talk about non-continuous functions. At that time, you discover it's one of the evil functions that strikes fear into your heart, and you learn to avoid it along with absolute value.

 

[GhettoTrucker]

Oh ok. In all my algebra classes (so far 1,2, & 2c), we have only been taught the round() function on our calculators, because it is more complicated i guess, and they don't want us relying on our cals too much... Thanks for the clarification.

 

[holatuwol]

Actually, I wasn't talking about calculator functions -- just graphs. When you learned algebra, were you ever asked to draw this graph as an exercise?

 

[efilnikufecin]

heh I was trying to use easy to read math for the newcomers...that and I never noticed the Ceil() function in kolmafia. There's several ways to go about it. No doubt about that.

Actually "int Get_Hairspray = my_adventures() / 3 + 1;"
says take the number of adventures I have and divide by 3 so for 11 adventures you would get 3 (decimal/remainder ignored). Then add 1 and of course that's 4. 4 hairspray times 3 adv per is 12 adventures of the effect which means 1 to carry over till tomorrow.

since we are still on the topic, we don't need excess adventures of Butt-Rock Hair.

int Get_Hairspray = ceil( ( my_adventures() - have_effect( $effect[Butt-Rock Hair] ) )/3 );
