Buy ammount based on inventory
 
Hello,

I'm very new to cmud so I hoped someone would help me make an alias that would do the following:

When I type the alias I want to check how many scrolls of a certain kind and if amount is over 6 then do nothing.
If under 6, buy so the total will be 6.

Should be simple enough but dunno how.

Hope anyone have the time to help me.

Cheers

Well how would you co about checking?

i assume you can do something like 'read my scrolls' to get an output of what all you have.
Then its just a matter of using triggers to populate a variable.

Code:
#TR {This is a scroll of '(*)'.} {
$numScrolls=(@{scroll.%1}+1)
#ADDKEY scroll {%1=$numScrolls}
}


Then the alias needs to reset your checking variable, queue commands to reload the variable, and then test against a given scroll name

Code:
#ALIAS scrollCount($scrollName) {
scroll=%null
read my scrolls
#WAIT 10000
$scrollTest=@{scroll.$scrollName}
#IF ($scrollTest<6) {#LOOP (6-$scrollTest) {buy $scrollName scroll}}
}


in this example if you wanted to check for scrolls of detect invisible it would be sent the command like so:

scrollCount "Detect Invisible"

-edited for brackets, but not tested

Thanks for the help, but I cant get it to work properly.

This is the item in my belt that I want to check against:

[2] a scroll of recall

Struggeling to capture the number into the $numScrolls variable.

Edit : And I just need to check for recall scrolls, no need to check for others even though the possibilty of choosing
what scroll to check was nice.

ignore what i did before, delete it and try this instead:

Code:
#ALIAS checkScrolls {
#TEMP "scrollCheck" {~[(%d)~] a scroll of recall} {#IF (%1<6) {#LOOP (6-%1) {buy scroll of recall}}}
look in belt
}


this won't help if you happen to have 0 of them however, or if it displays differently with only one
