How to script it to send Gifts to people
- Thread starter Des80
- Start date
Ok I think that is the issue I know its send_gift( string recipient , string message , int meat , int [item] goodies )
so I would do send_gift(User, "Heres your Sign", 0, int[item] goodies ) where goodies is a txt file that has Holiday Fun! in it but I guess thats where my problem is I don't know as much about Mapping as I want to. I know how to file to map and map to file. Thanks for any help you can give Bale I know I've been asking a lot of questions lately but I've been trying to expand my script writing and having fun with it.
Sorry I also want to mention I am importing zlib.ash into my script.

Something like:
ash import <zlib.ash> int[item] stuff; file_to_map("filename.txt", stuff); send_gift("someone", "something for them to read", 0, stuff);
Replace filename.txt with the file name, someone with your target (i suggest yourself to test, initially at least), and something for them to read with whatever witty message you want.

It doesnt seem to want to work says the message can't send for some reason so Im doing something wrong. I get red text that says 'The message didn't send for some reason.'
Code:
import <zlib.ash>;
void main()
{
int[item] package;
file_to_map("goodies.txt", package);
send_gift( "username" , "This is a Test" , 0 , package );
}

Most probable errors: either "username" isn't a valid user or else "goodies.txt" is not formatted properly.
I really think that the problem is goodies.txt, but without seeing it, I cannot advise you on it. Each line needs to be an item, followed by a tab, followed by the number of that item to send. Like this:

Let's just test goodies.txt to make sure that it is legit. Check the CLI output for this little program:
Does your friend's name have a space or any odd characters in it?
Code:
void main()
{
int[item] package;
file_to_map("goodies.txt", package);
print("Goodies Loaded.");
foreach it,x in package
print("Want to send " + x + " of "+ it);
print("Done.");
}Does your friend's name have a space or any odd characters in it?

all I got was
Goodies Loaded.
Done.
but I have what you need written in a txt file named goodies.txt
ARG nvm I know what was wrong the txt was with the Ash file but I subfolder certainscripts and it needs to be in the main Script Folder.
I have it working perfectly.
Thank you all for your help.

I got it working and figured out my error it was just a file in the wrong place. The only other question I have is if you have multiple items in the Map does it send multiple gifts or the bigger gift packages ? If it does give multiple gifts is there a way to send a gift with more then 1 item.

Glad you figured that out.
Both. It will attempt to conserve meat spent on packages by using a plain brown package for 1 item, a less-than-three-shaped box for 2 items or else breaking down more than 2 items into multiples of the first two types of boxes since they get progressively more expensive.
eg. If you want to send 5 items to a person, it will do that with 2 less-than-three-shaped boxes and 1 plain brown package for a total shipping cost of 250 meat. (A miniature coffin to hold all 5 items would cost 1000 meat.)
I'm not really sure what you're asking.
