$spin command

[Aaron Nimocks 19]

This command is kicking my butt.

 

I just want to be able to enter a UI text field like {hi|hello|howdy} in the UI and have it spin.

 

Is this even possible?

Hi Aaron, try this:

And in the Spin box format you text like this: {Hi|Hello|Howdy}, how are you {today|doing}?

Thanks, but that is exactly what I tried and I cant get it to work.

 

I have no idea why it worked now. Maybe because I was trying to save results to a file and it wasn't working.

 

Thanks again!

Hi there,

I've just seen this thread but the graphic appears to be missing in the previous post.

 

I have a UI text box and I'd like to be able to have the user put in this box

 

{Hi|Hello|Howdy}

 

I currently have a Variable called #greeting assigned to the UI box.

 

Any ideas what I would need to do to make the spin command work within it? At the moment the UI box outputs "{Hi|Hello|Howdy}" in the field.

 

Thanks for any guidance.

Aaron: if you use a lot of subs, including one for your UI, you might have forgotten to runsub for the UI one?

 

I know I have done this more than once and can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong whenever I do.

Thanks. I fixed the issue over a month ago.

I borrowed Aaron's idea and I have a skeleton file I use as the starting template for every bot.

 

It has 5 base subs, and they are all called with run sub commands

 

Initialize

User Interface

Startup

The Loop

Shutdown

 

It is a lot easier to delete things you don't need, than to create them over and over in each new bot.

Is there some downloadable .ubot with all functions of this? Ive browsed the forum but cant find this post of Aaron, and sounds like a great idea!
