const NUKE_Doom = "/cast ""Doom III"" " ??? didnt work : VGExtreme General Discussion

const NUKE_Doom = "/cast ""Doom III"" " ??? didnt work

to setup my bot easyer i want that VGExtreme directly cast my spell i wish, without setup hotbars.
i setup this:
const NUKE_Doom = "/cast ""Doom III"" "

and this to ask for this but my spells didnt come up why?

if ((LEVEL_TRAINED => 1) and (TargetDistance < 24) and )) then

VGSendCommand NUKE_Doom '// Holy Nuke !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sleep SPELL_SLEEP
VGSendCommand NUKE_Doom '// Holy Nuke !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sleep SPELL_SLEEP
end if

don't think it likes those double quotes. Try it like this
const NUKE_Doom = "/cast +'Doom III+' "

the script interprets the extra quotes as the end of the string and gives an error when it encounters the rest.

I believe the escape code in vbscript is a backslash, so try this:

const NUKE_Doom = "/cast \"Doom III\" "

EDIT: just realized this doesn't work, also tried single quotes in stuarcl's example, both with and without the "+" and it does not work either.

Anyone know the escape code?

This is how I set up to do something similar in the crafting bot. The Recipe needs quotes when doing. The + is supposed to be a shift so the +' should be a "

Beergeek was it typing anything when you tried it?

You might try splitting it up and see if that works.


Recipe_type = "+'Practice Select Plank+'"

VGSendCommand "/RefineSetRecipe " & Recipe_Type

Hmm just noticed you didn't have the & Try adding that...

nothing works ... any other idears?

Yes, stuarcl, that worked... I had fat-fingered it in my script

kumpel, just substitute anywhere you want a double quote to appear in the command with +'

const BUFF_Ward_Shield = "/cast ""Ward Shield I"" "


VGSendCommand BUFF_Ward_Shield


this way works for me but is rly slow to use in a farming bot.... while this always type in chat slows the battle alot.

It is MUCH better to hotkey it. and press the hotkey.

You can speed up the chat typing by calling the input delay API and set it to a lower number, but using hotkeys is the preferred method of casting spells.

was just an idear to make the setup for the users more easy.
you have right i stay on hotkeys.
