SmartStasis -- a complex script for a simple CCS

[Winterbay]

Nope. I tried that today and when my macro stopped due to being poisoned (well I say stopped, it looped until I pressed ESC) and I used an antidote to remove the poison and then restarting the macro it continued to claiming to want to abort due to matching on the *poisoned*

Here's the fight in question:

I stopped the macro when it posted the "not set to remove just now"-message. I then changed that setting restarted the macro and it removed my poison (twice) followed by claiming to match the stop condition for another ~30 rounds until I stopped it again and killed it manually.

 

[Bale]

Winterbay is correct. To make the match go away I need to take a non-macro action against the monster.

 

[zarqon]

That is silliness.

I guess the way around this is just a bunch of haseffect checks. But I'm not sure what a good solution is for situations where the only check is text, but it could happen multiple times (if such situations exist).

 

[Bale]

Well, you could put the following in batround...

if haseffect toad in the hole; abort "Toads in the Hole"; endif

 

[Winterbay]

The start of my batround() currently looks like this:

res.append("abort " + ((get_property("autoAntidote") != "0") ? "" : "match effect*Poisoned || ") + "match \"Toad In The Hole\" || match \"a massive loogie\" || hpbelow "+round(m_dpr(0,0))+"; scrollwhendone; sub batround");
if(to_int(get_property("autoAntidote")) > 0)
{
	res.append("; if ");
	switch(to_int(get_property("autoAntidote")))
	{
		case 1: res.append("haseffect 8 ||");
		case 2: res.append("haseffect 282 ||");
		case 3: res.append("haseffect 283 ||");
		case 4: res.append("haseffect 284 ||");
		case 5: res.append("haseffect 264 ||");
		case 6: res.append("haseffect 436;"); break;
	}
	res.append(get_action($item[anti-anti-antidote]).id + "endif");
}

Which obviously doesn't let you recalculate stats but at least should make sure that you manage to remove the poison at the level you've specified should you get poisoned and let the macro continue. I think the abort would work just fine if Mafia actually aborted but since it continues forever when a macro aborts on a match-condition this seems to not work atm.

 

[StDoodle]

You could parse out which round effects were given on, and track when things such as a-a-antidote were used (either in properties or in html comments) and go from there... but it sounds like a lot of regex!

 

[zarqon]

Hehe. The issue is in BALLS, which doesn't even have regex support, not ASH; "match" apparently matches text in every round, and not only in the current macro but also in subsequent macros (less useful than a single-round match, if you ask me). "haseffect" should work since it won't be true after removing the effect.

Bale: SS assumes, as it has from the beginning, that if your starfish-type has charges, they are freely available, since a charge is an arbitrary value. Is there a general-purpose solution for determining when someone would want to hold them in reserve? We could add the minimum value of a charge -- charges come from items, so it seems like for those familiars a fee of 50 meat per charge (less than mallmin since charges often come from junk items) would be reasonable.

That sounds like a good idea to me.

 

[slyz]

We could ask of a "matchall" predicate for the whole fight, and a "match" predicate that only matches the previous round ?

 

[fronobulax]

Not sure whether this is a problem or an error in expectations. Please enlighten me either way.

DB with Noodles available. NPZR. Universal Recovery. CCS consults SmartStasis and then attacks with weapon.

1) Get poisoned during combat. Go into infinite loop where mafia round counter increases but the KoL counter does not. May be a known concern but I would like to continue to use SmartStasis and not have that happen.

2) Stasis for a bit, then "normal" combat and then end up getting Beaten Up. The cost of being Beaten Up exceeds the benefit of Stasis for me, especially when the manual sequence of Pickpocket (if available), Noodles, attack with weapon until win works against the same monster. I thought Stasis was Smart enough to not stasis if doing so would result in a lost combat so I am wondering if I have hit an edge case or there is incorrect data somewhere? Known concern? Would additional information be helpful?

Thanks.

 

[Winterbay]

The poison thing is known and is what is discussed on a couple of the posts above this. Basically a KoL-macro "match" command matches on the entire fight and you can't therefore use it to abort on poison effects and then run a new macro. Also, I don't think that mafia aborts a fight when the macro aborts which is why the round number keeps upping. Possibly it could be set to abort fighting in some way similar to the "you don't have two of that" when an "abort()" is thrown by the macro.

 

[StDoodle]

Zarqon, do you already make use of the "times" predicate? If not, you could use it to track how often things like un-poisoning are done, and do all of it in a special subroutine (macro sub). If the times predicate is exceeded, and you're under one of the effects the script has been configured to uneffect, the entire thing aborts. Otherwise, if you have one of the effects, it's uneffected.

Thanks. I had seen the poison discussion but was not clear to me where the problem was nor whether it was being addressed. I understand now on both points.

 

[asturia]

I have a quick question:
How do I make smartstasis use a spooky putty against a goth giant?

 

[slyz]

Add "Goth Giant" at the end of the ftf_olfact zlib variable.

 

[asturia]

Add "Goth Giant" at the end of the ftf_olfact zlib variable.

I did that, but that only helps if you want to olfact it.
I want to use a putty sheet against it when I have one available.

 

[Winterbay]

Looking at the script it appears to be using teh Mafia property autoPutty so possibly add the monster to that one would help?

 

[slyz]

I did that, but that only helps if you want to olfact it.

Oh sorry, I misread your post for some reason.

You can turn on Mafia's auto-putty by typing "set autoPutty = monster goth giant" in the gCLI. SmartStasis will follow Mafia's auto-putty setting.

I also just realized you might be puttying goth giants so you can olfact them easily when olfaction runs off. In this case, I can direct you to puttyOlfact.ash‎. It will set Mafia's auto-olfact and auto-putty settings (that SmartStasis will obey) when needed.

 

[Bale]

You can turn on Mafia's auto-putty by typing "set autoPutty = monster goth giant" in the gCLI. SmartStasis will follow Mafia's auto-putty setting.

For people who prefer not to use the set command, you can use the UI to set automatic putty. On the Adventuring tab, under "action" there is a field called "special". If you click on that you can select "one-time automatic Spooky Putty/4d Camera" and a pop-up box will appear for you to tell it "monster goth giant".

Slyz's method works also, but I like to use the user interface for such things when I have an option.

 

[Rinn]

match doesn't check every round while a macro is running. I have a match check to see if my hobo money stole meat and it almost never triggers because meat is stolen in rounds before I start checking (because I'm doing disco combos or something, this is actually kind of annoying because my other exit condition is round 20 so I use a bunch of spices and spam up my log). It seems like there's some difference after a macro ends, the next new macro treats the entire old macro as a single page.
