Talk:Progressive Stealing (script)

In Genie, script is not properly detecting that it's returned to the start location and therefore looping. Starting location variable seems to be saved okay.

I wouldn't expect the script to function correctly in Genie, since it is written for StormFront according to the infobox. There are enough scripting differences between the two front ends that a SF script will not work 100% correctly in Genie without conversion unless it is an incredibly simple one. I would suggest checking the Genie forums for a translated version or someone to translate it if it doesn't already exist.--ABSOLON (talk) 13:13, 31 July 2014 (CDT)

Is there a mirror of the Genie conversion somewhere? whistlethis.com is dead.--KAMVENIENCE (talk) 16:10, 1 August 2014 (CDT)

Fixed with this code, courtesy of CunningRunt on Genie forums:

 SHOPCHECK1:
       var MRS shopcheck
       GOTO SHOPCHECK2
 
   SHOPCHECK:
       GOTO SHOP.%TravelOrShop
     SHOP.TRAVEL:
       var TravelOrShop shop
     SHOP.SHOP:
       match MOVEON.STARTLOC %startlocation
       put echo %storecode %item %update
       pause 1
   SHOPCHECK2:
       match MOVEON.HEALTH hand which appears completely useless
       match LEAVE nothing
       match GOODSHOP.%DropOrStow Time Development
       match MOVEON.EXP mind lock
       put echo %storecode %item %update
       send skill steal
       GOTO UniversalMatch
