Hey everyone! I'm somewhat new to ash scripting. I've made some scripts for mafia before... but they all exclusively used "cli_execute" before it did anything. This is my first attempt to use ash commands, as well as make the script think for itself a little.
This script is designed to get me through the sewer, and only the sewer. First it gets the items to make the run as short as possible. Then it equips the outfit, mood, and familiar I want. Then it adventures in the sewers. Then it takes the items dropped and does stuff with them. And finally it switches back to my standard outfit, mood, and familiar. Here's what I have so far:
After spending a great deal of time debugging, I've run into a problem that I don't know how to solve. I keep getting the following error:
"Unknown variable 'if' (Sewer.ash, line 45)"
I have no idea what this means. What makes it think that 'if' is a variable, and not the start of an if statement?
Also, there are probably a fair amount of bugs after line 45, as I've only been discovering the bugs as mafia tells me there's a problem. If you guys can, please don't tell me about any of the bugs after line 45. I think I found all the bugs before line 45 thanks to mafia (if I'm wrong about this, please let me know). But for every line after line 45, please don't tell me about any bugs. I'm still learning to script, and I'll learn faster if the debugging process is as reasonably painful as possible (so I'll be extra motivated to not make common bugs).
I ask for help on line 45 because I've spent a fair amount of time trying to figure it out myself... but it's getting kind of ridiculous, and the solution is probably really easy, and I'm missing it because I'm spending too much time on it.
