Autotab cos

So, I was looking to use the autotab cosfile provided over at naturing::nurturing, but I wasn't sure exactly how often it switches between creatures, and what values to change if I wanted to change how often it, er... autotabs.

It's over here

I was hoping someone a bit more experienced with CAOS would be able to provide some insight?

I believe it cycles through Creatures every few seconds. At least, that's what I remember on Live Nornish Action. I'm curious about what value to change to increase/decrease the time between tabbing! I do see "tick 300" in the code, but I'm the last person to trust with CAOS stuff!

I was hoping to have it stick around on each creature for 1-2 minutes - i think if it's tabbing around every few seconds it might be a bit nauseating - and hard to see what's going on!

It definitely isn't just a few seconds, in fact I think the default is basically what you want, or a little longer. :) The tick 3000 bit means the script fires every 3000 ticks... and a tick is about 1/20 of a second... so that means it's set to run roughly every 150 seconds, or 2.5 minutes.

Ghosthande, thanks! That's exactly what I needed to know. I'm gonna test it out within the next day or two to see if it's suitable but it sounds like it already is! I thought it was just a few seconds because... well, that's what it says on the website. :P

Agreed: Thank you, Ghosthande! The site does say a few seconds, and I could have sworn it wasn't that long when I viewed it. Nice to know it can be easily changed, and might even be at an ideal time frame anyways!

I'm pretty sure it meant figurative seconds. :P

I'm also pretty sure Amaikokonut used a modified version for LNA so that it would cycle faster than usual... because I do remember it being less than 2.5 minutes when I watched it.
