How did you handle the submitting the mail? The only command I know of is just for sending text without using the mailbox UI :<

 

[seVen]

use "/click SendMailMailButton" in a macro

 Lua.DoString(string.Format("RunMacroText(\"{0}\")", "/click SendMailMailButton"), 0);

This will "click" the Send button

 

[vuwrr]

Thanks mate!

 

[vuwrr]

So now I only have 2 problems left (I think). I found out how to interact with the mailbox, but how do I switch to the mailing tab and then writing the recipient?

 

[vuwrr]

Maybe its not possible through LUA?

 

[vuwrr]

Maybe I'm just too newb to do this, but what is wrong with:

Lua.DoString(string.Format("RunMacroText(\"{0}\")", "/run local i=0 for b=0,4 do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b) do local n=GetContainerItemLink(b,s) if n then if strfind(n,"52185") and i<12 then _,c=GetContainerItemInfo(b,s) if c==20 then UseContainerItem(b,s) i=i+1 end end end end end"), 0);

It says: Invalid expression term ')'

Kinda lost :<

 

[seVen]

because there are (") in the code and those " " defines the text that should run within the lua.dostring command

[B][COLOR=#ff0000]"[/COLOR][/B] /run local i=0  for b=0,4 do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b) do local  n=GetContainerItemLink(b,s) if n then if strfind(n,[COLOR=#ff0000][B]"[/B][/COLOR]

ends the first time here

maybe you should break those commands completly down into several /click macros.. thats the only way (?)

 

[vuwrr]

Lua.DoString(string.Format("RunMacroText(\"{0}\")", "/run local i=0 for b=0,4 do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b) do local n=GetContainerItemLink(b,s) if n then if strfind(n,\"52185\") and i<12 then _,c=GetContainerItemInfo(b,s) if c==20 then UseContainerItem(b,s) i=i+1 end end end end end"), 0);

This did the trick, now I just need to figure out how to switch from the inbox to send mail.

You can always get the name of a button or something else by running this macro ingame:

/run print( GetMouseFocus():GetName() )

Put your mouse over the tab you want to change to, and fire that macro. It will give you a name in the chat, you can then use a /click thatname

 

[vuwrr]

Mate, you seriously rule! Thanks!

 

[vuwrr]

Lua.DoString(string.Format("RunMacroText(\"{0}\")", "/run local i=0 for b=0,4 do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b) do local n=GetContainerItemLink(b,s) if n then if strfind(n,\"52185\") and i<12 then _,c=GetContainerItemInfo(b,s) if c==20 then UseContainerItem(b,s) i=i+1 end end end end end"), 0);

Now it won't work, no clue what went wrong. Did a test earlier +.+

 

[Inrego]

Mate, you seriously rule! Thanks!

+rep is always welcome

Lua.DoString(string.Format("RunMacroText(\"{0}\")", "/run local i=0 for b=0,4 do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b) do local n=GetContainerItemLink(b,s) if n then if strfind(n,\"52185\") and i<12 then _,c=GetContainerItemInfo(b,s) if c==20 then UseContainerItem(b,s) i=i+1 end end end end end"), 0);

Is postal enabled? Sometimes I've seen it fuck up such macros.
Also, you could try doing it like this instead of a /run

Lua.DoString("local i=0 for b=0,4 do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b) do local n=GetContainerItemLink(b,s) if n then if strfind(n,\"52185\") and i<12 then _,c=GetContainerItemInfo(b,s) if c==20 then UseContainerItem(b,s) i=i+1 end end end end end");

Oh and btw - instead of using the /click send button, I can recommend you to use

Lua.DoString("SendMail(\"MailRecipent\",\"Subject\",\"\")");

This way you can control the subject and the name of the person you want to send to.

And all you gotta do for COD is add:

 codprice=j*(WhiptailPrice/20) SetSendMailCOD(codprice*10000)

Before you send the mail...or something like that

Far from - at least if you want it accurate. Besides from that - it doesn't sound like this guy is looking for COD in any way. So the only reason I can see for you to post it is to annoy me. It's not really working though.

 

[vuwrr]

I did rep you, afraid it could only be done once

As always thanks for the help and I did actually take the send mail approach you mentioned before you wrote it. At least it would seem that direction was a good call

 

[Inrego]

I'm doing some simple mailing myself right now - this is how I'm doing it.
First, in the profile I define a value for the recipent name (I'm defining the name in lua inside wow, not in HB) like this:

Lua.DoString("MailRecipent = \"Dummy\"");

Then I go to the mailbox ofc and interact with it, and run this:

Thread.Sleep(300); Lua.DoString("RunMacroText(\"/click MailFrameTab2\")"); Thread.Sleep(300);

Then I follow up with a macro that puts stuff into the mailbox window:

Lua.DoString("local i=0 for b=0,4 do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b) do local n=GetContainerItemLink(b,s) if n then if strfind(n,\"52478\") and i<12 then UseContainerItem(b,s) i=i+1 end end end end");

And then at last, I send the mail to the mailrecipent defined in the top of the profile:

Lua.DoString("SendMail(MailRecipent,\"Blues\",\"\")");

I found this a good way to make "settings" for recipent name when you make the mailing in lua. I'm afraid you can't do it with the Settings in PB.

 

[vuwrr]

What is with the thread sleep thingy?

And also, does PB seem to skip: <WaitAction Condition="false" Timeout="10000" /> sometimes for you as well? My script works perfectly for a while then at some point it just seems to ignore my wait timers.

 

[Inrego]

Sleep is just instead of wait.

 

[vuwrr]

Does it work all the time as opposed to the wait command?

 

[Inrego]

I don't have any problems with the wait action, but yea the sleep should work every single time ^^ although there's no condition on that one, it's always a fixed amount of time.
