[Free] Check for Task Message

[Arkilys]

Check for Task Message

This script will select Server Log channel and check for a specific message then select Default channel back. It's useful on Cavebot to check for task messages.
You should not use on Persistents, unless you use a with decent interval, because this script will select the Server Log to check for messages.

(COPY)

local PieceOfMessage = 'You have already killed 200 larvas'


if LAST_COUNT_MSG == nil then
    LAST_COUNT_MSG = 0
end

if ischannelopen('Server Log') then
    if ischannelselected('Server Log') == false then
        selectchannel('Server Log')
        wait(400, 800)
    end

    local count = 0
    local msgs = getmessages()
    for _, msg in ipairs(msgs) do
        if string.find(msg.content, PieceOfMessage) ~= nil then
            count = count + 1
        end
    end

    if count > 0 and count > LAST_COUNT_MSG then
        gotolabel('LeaveHunt')
    end
end


if ischannelselected('Default') == false then
    selectchannel('Default')
    wait(400, 800)
end

Hello.

I could not understand what some parts of your post like when you said that ran "ischannelselected('serverlog')" and received error about "activechannel".
However, the LUA Functions & Variables was outdated about those functions and i just updated it and the script.
ischannelopen(string channel) [boolean] Returns true the specified channel is open.
ischannelselected(string channel) [boolean] Returns true the specified channel is selected.
