The Newb and the Vacation Script

[GIR]

Hello all! I would just like to preface by saying you are all wonderful human beings.

I need help with just one line of my CLI-based vacation script. Please note that I am not well-trained enough to use real ash programming like the works of Veracity, Bale, lostcalpolydude, et al.

That single red line there is where I'm having trouble. I was hoping the auto-stop from the lack of turns available in "Dad, I'm in Space!" would cause the CLI to move to the next line in my script. However, this is not the case and I cannot find on the Mafia Wiki - under CLI reference - any command that will help me. This is most likely the newbness that is causing me to not see the solution. Or how to properly seek the solution in the search command in this forum.

From what I've seen in this forum and these threads, is that I might have to set a goal to get around the auto-stop. However, I don't know how to create the command line instruction. I've thought of typing in: "Adventure until I can't anymore in this location," and then Mafia would give me a return that says: "What is wrong with you?"

I would be very grateful if any of you know what the proper line should be to say, "Use up my remaining adventures in Hamburglaris, then move on to Giant Castle (Top Floor)." Please note that ash scripts kick my ash.




"this episode brought to you by the letter SWEATY"
"the word SWEATY is not a letter"

Running out of turns of transpondent is not an autostop. That's why it doesn't work. I'd do it like this:

ash adventure(have_effect($effect[Transpondent]), $location[Hamburglaris Shield Generator]);

I can't figure out how to do that in CLI, but you can run a line of ash inside of a CLI script if you preface the line with "ash" like I did there.

I think you could also do this:

try ; adventure * Hamburglaris Shield Generator

That should simply ignore the error condition and continue with the script.

Dear Bale: Lo and behold, it freakin' worked! Thank you ever so much!

Dear xKiv: Your solution is also next. Why? FOR SCIENCE! Also because I respect anyone who goes out of their way to help me.

I would consider this problem solved, and when I come back after trying xKiv's solution, we can call this thread double solved.

I found xKiv's solution interesting because I don't do much CLI scripting. It sounds like a good idea to me and more aesthetically pleasing since it allows you to keep your script 100% CLI.

I look forward to hearing that xKiv's solution works as expected.

 

[GIR]

Dear xKiv: Lo and behold, it freakin' worked! Thank you ever so much!

Dear Bale: Yes, it does work!

Of course, after xKiv's suggestion, I did a text-find in the CLI Reference part of the Wiki. And there it was. Line 9. And also referenced in the "Scripting" part of the page. Once I saw that, it was like getting an ice-cream headache without the ice-cream. I read over those two so many times.

Well, thank you both, and here's hoping my thread and your efforts can help others.

I'm drinking a Screaming Yellow Monkey in celebration. Thanks again!

I guess I should have a really nice sandwich to celebrate your doubly good fortune.
