= Quin's AppleScript Macros=

It's not much and I'm still learning how to use AppleScript. If you find any ways to improve these, please let me know! As it is, they're rather archaic, but they work. All of these depend on a program called "Extra Suites" which makes things like clicking the mouse easier. It also has a feature for color detect (used for the slate macro).

== General Purpose ==

This script will give you 2 seconds to hover the mouse over something (limestone, dig deeper command, chariot stop window, etc.) every 10 seconds. Just change the delay if you want it shorter or longer, depending on the situation. Stop it by going to Apple Script (Alt-Tab) and pressing stop script (Command-.)

This will interfere with typing while it's clicking, so it's somewhat a pain in that regards.

<pre>
tell application "Extra Suites"

delay 2 -- use this time to hover mouse over target.
set POS1 to ES mouse location
set theCount to 0

repeat
set POSX to ES mouse location
ES move mouse POS1
ES click mouse
ES move mouse POSX
delay 10
end repeat
end tell
</pre>

== Slate ==

CAUTION! It will steal your mouse and not give it back. Basically you should move to a space with slate present, start the macro and hover the mouse over the slate (so it can detect the color). Once that's done, the only way to get your mouse back is to kill the macro (Alt-Tab and press Esc or "Command-.").

On the bright side, it doesn't interfere with typing if you decide you need to stop to talk.

<pre>
tell application "Extra Suites"

delay 2 -- use this time to hover mouse over slate icon
set POS1 to ES mouse location
set RGB1 to ES pixel color
set theCount to 0

repeat
set POSX to ES mouse location
ES move mouse POS1
set RGBX to ES pixel color
if RGB1 = RGBX then ES click mouse
ES move mouse POSX
delay 0.1
end repeat
end tell
</pre>

== Grass ==

A little more refined then the slate, but still not perfect. Setup is simple, hover the mouse over the grass icon, then hover the mouse over your avatar's head as (s)he stands up. This was a weak attempt to compensate for different windows sizes. You don't have to me zoomed in all the way, but should certainly make sure you can't see any buildings n/s of you.

This will interfere with typing while it's clicking, so it's somewhat a pain in that regards.

<pre>
tell application "Extra Suites"

delay 2
set GPOS to ES mouse location -- hover over grass icon
ES click mouse
set theCount to 0

delay 4
set CLKPOS to ES mouse location -- hover over avi's head
copy CLKPOS to CLK1
set item 2 of CLK1 to 700
copy CLKPOS to CLK2
set item 2 of CLK2 to 100

repeat until (theCount = 100) - alter if you have high/low Rhythmic Strength
set POSX to ES mouse location
ES move mouse CLK1 -- North
ES click mouse
ES move mouse POSX
delay 3
set POSX to ES mouse location
ES move mouse GPOS
ES click mouse
ES move mouse CLK2 -- South
ES click mouse
ES move mouse POSX
delay 3
set POSX to ES mouse location
ES move mouse GPOS
ES click mouse
ES move mouse POSX
set theCount to theCount + 1
end repeat
end tell
</pre>

.... more to come.
