New Feature Request

Hello im hoping a new script feature can bee added soon many of my scripts are on hold till this feature gets implamented what it is is something like Get? that when called up in a script it will open a little window that you type your string into with out having to add anything else to the string then hit enter then what it does is add the typed string into a $variable

$variable = Get?

This will greatly add to the scripts as it will help with creating "learning" scripts:) I dont think it will be hard to implament from what ive seen sofare:D

I really would appreciate this feature I do appreciate all you at EZ-Robot does for us as I know many many others on here do to:D

The reason I am asking is I have 2 weeks off starting tomorrow. I will be waiting for parts to arrive for multiple project and I could use the SDK to create the app for you. I know that the team is up to their knees in EZ-Robot shipping and I would hate to delay them at all at this point. Let me know if you would like me to make a attempt at this for you.

@d.cochran.... Don't mean to thread jack... but your above script sample fits into my current project perfectly... Just what I was looking for.... Hope you don't mind I pirate it...:)... Also your idea of a pop up box to enter a value for a variable is a great idea... I can see the validity in Wolfie's request...

I see it also. its a good idea and I have started tinkering with it.

@wolfe There is an example of how to do this (or something very similar to it) in the C# section of the examples in the SDK (Tutorial 52 - ARC Script Interface Client). It sets a variable, pulls data from a few variables, Starts and stops the camera. Is what I described earlier an accurate representation of what you are looking for?

Im in no rush for the feature at all what I want is one that is part of ARC itself but yes one that at some point asks for need info by popping up a box you type the string into and then when you hit enter or ok it takes that in and sends it to a variable the scripts will determine what the veritable will be listed as $variable or $player1 or what ever the calling script trying to get info for it is better if its part of ARC instead of an add on that's sending to ARC I plan to use it in many scripts that in time will be posted on the cloud for others to use and learn from .... I try to make scripts user "Grandma" friendly lol I used to do a lot of scripting in mirc but now trying to only use ARC as mirc no longer works with windows 7 .... well the good parts of it don't at all:( lol The feature im asking for will greatly improve ARCs scripting With it the scripts we make will be able to learn on the fly with out having to be rescripted

Hey Wolfie... can we go one step further?... Instead of just a text entry only box, how about voice/text entry box?... So when the box pops up you can either type it in or say the word you want saved as a variable?

I understand. The example that is provided will connect to the script engine and run commands. you pass the command and it will execute. It would be an add-on just like EZ-Face was, until it was included into ARC. Because it is tied to the script engine, it could be used to pass variables or really do anything that the script engine could do. that example is a pretty powerful one.

Okay, I am going to go on to writing the database connection one that I have been thinking about. I want to have a cleaner way of writing data from ARC to a database, which would make a learning robot very powerful. My plan is to have multiple robots that all understand what each other is doing. This currently can be done in ARC with up to 5 robots. I want more:)

I haven't used it much but I think the Pandoras Bot control allows you to speak or type and can be used to assign variables. I don't have time to check it out at the moment but just putting it out there so you guys can have a look and see if it is able to do what you want it to do.
