scripting fun?

Can scripting still be done like below if so how or must create a addon attempted to get working and failed:

In case anyone wants to mess around with the scripting capabilities of 4.0, please use this thread to report fun things/problems you come across.

If you want to give it a shot, use the following console command:

runscript RunScriptFile(GetAddonDirectory()..'/FILENAME.lua')

(replacing FILENAME with the name of your script file placed in your Windower\Addon folder)

Also, an updated version of Azaril's "Smart Cure" function in examples.lua (that actually works tongue.gif )

--
-- Example function to cast the best cure for the situation.
--
function SmartCure()

        -- Get the local player.
        local Player = GetPlayer();
       
        -- List of cure spells.
        local Cures = { { Name = "Cure V", RequiredMP = 135 },
                                        { Name = "Cure IV", RequiredMP = 88 },
                                        { Name = "Cure III", RequiredMP = 46 },                                
                                        { Name = "Cure II", RequiredMP = 24 },
                                        { Name = "Cure", RequiredMP = 8 } };
                                       
        if(Player ~= nil) then
       
                -- Get the players current MP.
                local CurrentMP = Player:GetMagicPoints();
               
                -- Check each cure to see if it can be used.
                for i = 1, #Cures do
               
                        -- Check that the player has enough MP.
                        if(CurrentMP >= Cures[i].RequiredMP) then
               
                                -- TODO: Check if the target is the local player or alliance member
                                --               and use a lower cure if the cure will overheal.
                               
                                -- Cast the spell.
                                local command = "/ma \"" .. Cures[i].Name .. "\" <t>";
                                Log(command);
                                SendInput(command);
                               
                                return;
                       
                        end
               
                end
               
                Log("Not enough MP to cast cure!");
               
        end

end

-- 
-- Register the SmartCure function to the "cure" console command.

Alias("cure", SmartCure);

That is from a different Windower (looks like Azaril's "recent" project, although I'm not familiar with it). It will work, but the function needs to be adjusted:

_addon.name = 'SomeAddon'
_addon.author = 'You'
_addon.version = '0.0.0.1'

function cure()
    -- Get the local player.
    local player = windower.ffxi.get_player();

    -- List of cure spells.
    local cures = { { name = "Cure V", required_mp = 135 },
                    { name = "Cure IV", required_mp = 88 },
                    { name = "Cure III", required_mp = 46 },                                
                    { name = "Cure II", required_mp = 24 },
                    { name = "Cure", required_mp = 8 } };

    if player then
        -- Get the players current MP.
        -- Check each cure to see if it can be used.
        for name, required_mp in ipairs(cures) do
            -- Check that the player has enough MP.
            if player.mp >= required_mp then
                -- TODO: Check if the target is the local player or alliance member
                --       and use a lower cure if the cure will overheal.

                -- Cast the spell.
                windower.send_command('input /ma "'..name..'" <t>');

                return;
            end
        end

        windower.add_to_chat(207, "Not enough MP to cast cure!");
    end
end

windower.send_command('alias cure lua i SomeAddon cure');

This needs to be put in a file Windower/addons/SomeAddon/SomeAddon.lua. To load it then just enter //lua load SomeAddon, as you'd load any other addon.

Thanks
