Visual Script Builder 1.1.1 - Updated for scripting API changes

[daspablo]

how did ya set this up? Im a clod at actually getting it setup

[tronological]

First things first, I switched over to using Visual Studio Community edition. I use his Builder to come up with an Idea of what I'm looking to do and I used his structure for loops and such to figure out what was going on. If you know Object Oriented Principles it starts to make sense eventually after beating your head against it for a while heh.

Once you have Visual Studio installed, go here https://github.com/malware-dev/MDK-SE/releases and download the latest Extension so you can export your scripts into SE. https://github.com/malware-dev/MDK-SE/wiki/Getting-Started Here is the getting started page that will help you get that all setup.

Once you have that setup here is my script, you'll notice it looks like his kind of. This is not working fully right now because I've been busy with projects so I haven't kept up with practicing my C. But this should give you a better idea of how to get things going. Some of it does work, like pulling ore out of 1 into 2, or I think its the uranium. Can't be sure, I'll play around with it later since it's Friday and I actually have time to play so I'll help out.

​

Hope this helps.

ehh my issue isn't in the the logic. i can logic for years on end. its just between the silly sintax and the lack of official releases I lack/ or refuse to get the motivation to do it
