Help with scripts

Exactly what do i need to do to get a script to run?

Consider the following:

Code:

                <Page Location="2616,-2" MaximumSize="132,20" MinimumSize="132,20" Name="Coin" ScrollExtent="110,20" Size="117,20">

              

            <Text Visible="False" actiontype="Coin" cointype="3" Dragable="true" DragAccepts="icon" DragType="coin" DynamicData="/GameData.Coins.Coin_3" Font="/TextStyles.Large.LargeStyle" ShadowStyle="/ShadowStyles.BlackOutlineNoShadow.Outline1" Location="1,2" Margin="0,0,5,0" MaxLines="1" Name="Plat" ScrollExtent="40,16" Size="40,16" TextAlignmentVertical="Center" Tooltip=":80c1011d293ba1c4:Platinum" TreatAsButton="true" ActionData="coin 3" TextAlignment="right">999</Text>

            

            <Text Visible="False" actiontype="Coin" cointype="2" Dragable="true" DragAccepts="icon" DragType="coin" DynamicData="/GameData.Coins.Coin_2" Font="/TextStyles.Large.LargeStyle" ShadowStyle="/ShadowStyles.BlackOutlineNoShadow.Outline1" Location="41,2" Margin="0,0,5,0" Name="Gold" ScrollExtent="23,16" Size="23,16" TextAlignmentVertical="Center" TextColor="#FFEE70" Tooltip=":80c1011d18644d90:Gold" TreatAsButton="true" ActionData="coin 2" TextAlignment="right">99</Text>

            

            <Text Visible="False" actiontype="Coin" cointype="1" description="Silver" Dragable="true" DragAccepts="icon" DragType="coin" DynamicData="/GameData.Coins.Coin_1" Font="/TextStyles.Large.LargeStyle" ShadowStyle="/ShadowStyles.BlackOutlineNoShadow.Outline1" Location="64,2" Margin="0,0,5,0" Name="Silv" ScrollExtent="23,16" Size="23,16" TextAlignmentVertical="Center" TextColor="#A0A0A0" Tooltip=":80c1011dd708e292:Silver" TreatAsButton="true" ActionData="coin 1" TextAlignment="right">99</Text>

 

            <Text Visible="False" actiontype="Coin" cointype="0" description="Copper" Dragable="true" DragAccepts="icon" DragType="coin" DynamicData="/GameData.Coins.Coin_0" Font="/TextStyles.Large.LargeStyle" ShadowStyle="/ShadowStyles.BlackOutlineNoShadow.Outline1" Location="87,2" Margin="0,0,5,0" Name="Copp" ScrollExtent="23,16" Size="23,16" TextAlignmentVertical="Center" TextColor="#EA9129" Tooltip=":80c1011d45dc813c:Copper" TreatAsButton="true" ActionData="coin 0" TextAlignment="right">99</Text>

                        <Text onhoverin="

                        HavP = Parent.Plat.LocalText > 0 

                        HavG = Parent.Gold.LocalText > 0

                        HavS = Parent.Silv.LocalText > 0 

                        HavC = Parent.Copp.LocalText > 0

                        n = ''

                        P = Parent.Plat.LocalText ## ('p ') ## Parent.Gold.LocalText ## ('g ') ## Parent.Silv.LocalText ## ('s ') ## Parent.Copp.LocalText ## ('c ')

                        G = Parent.Gold.LocalText ## ('g ') ## Parent.Silv.LocalText ## ('s ') ## Parent.Copp.LocalText ## ('c ')

                        S = Parent.Silv.LocalText ## ('s ') ## Parent.Copp.LocalText ## ('c ')

                        C = Parent.Copp.LocalText ## ('c ')

                        Text = (HavP ? P : HavG ? G : HavS ? S : HavC ? C )" 

                        Margin="0,0,5,0" Name="Cash" Font="/TextStyles.Large.LargeStyle" ShadowStyle="/ShadowStyles.BlackOutlineNoShadow.Outline1" Location="1,2" ScrollExtent="93,21" Size="93,21"/>

        </Page>

Now, this is a change i made to DrumsUI mainhud_startbutton. So two things:
1. I cannot get it to display unless in use OnHoverIn - OnShow does not work, and i don't know how to make it work.

2. While the code is functional, it has a wierd effect, partly because of #1. When i hoverin, it displays fine. If i hoverout and back in again, it tries to talk, meaning, to the chat frame. I end up with messages:

You are not in a group
You say, "41s 42c"
Unable to leave '42c': You are not in a channel.

I have no idea why it's trying to talk, but as i said, that's a side-effect (maybe) of having to hoverin, which i don't want to do anyway.

So, the question is, what causes a script to execute? What do i need to change, specifically, in this to make it happen?

Regards.

Replying to my own thread, as much as i talk to myself when writing code...

I fixed the problem i was having, only because i happened to stumble unto another OnEvent, OnTextChanged. Was able to use that to rewrite the block to showup and not try to talk to chat.

Code:

removed

For anyone who might be interested.

My next step would be to find a way to colorize each element of that text, before putting it together. Anyone have any ideas?

.Regards

Meh. Stupid thing wasn't updating properly, so had to go back to the beginning and did this instead.

Code:

Probably the most cumbersome thing i've ever written. Yah EQ scripting !!!!!! Still no colorizing, which i really wanted.

Anyway, the objective of this post was to find a way to do this, and basically to get a list of OnEvents that i could use to execute the scripts. I'm still seeking that list, if anyone has anything.

Don't use short variables in the code, because they will trigger in-game commands.
'S' will trigger the /say command for example.

What is it you're trying to do exactly, I'm not sure if you exactly described your goal. Sorry if I missed it I'm not feeling well.

Maybe post a screenshot of it in display?
