Updating retainer prices

[spellureParticipant]

Hey all! Apologies if this has been asked before, but I tried looking and couldn’t find an answer.

Goal: Have a scenario that updates my marketboard prices
Tools: FFXIVLauncher has a plugin that, when you look at “compare prices”, it copies the lowest value -1 gil of the market price on to your clip board. I want to use this in conjunction with miqobot to automate price updating…

Here’s what I’ve got so far:

//Update prices
key(num0, 1.0) //confirm
key(num0, 1.0) //confirm
key(num8, 1.0) //move up
key(num0, 1.0) //confirm
key({esc}, 1.0) //close ui
key(num2, 1.0) //move down
key(num0, 1.0) //confirm
key(enter, 1.0) //enter
key(enter, 1.0) //enter
key(ctrl+v, 1.0)//paste
key(enter, 1.0) //enter
key(num2, 1.0) //move down
key(num2, 1.0) //move down
key(num0, 1.0) //confirm

Here’s my issue: I couldn’t find a good solution for needing to enter in the copied amount in to the box. Confirm doesn’t select it like it would be a string of text, so i came up with the workaround of enter+enter to take the focus to the chat box then away from it, as that somehow puts the focus in the correct area when it goes back to the price adjustment window… I can replicate the desired outcome I want with my keyboard, but I think i’m just missing the correct commands now.

Thank you all in advance!

Tried your scenario but doesn’t work for me either, doing it manually with same steps works however.
Even if it not possible in Miqo the plugin is a great tool

[pussyfootParticipant]

did you ever find a way to make this work?

[zola2Participant]

For my part I searched and I found nothing 🙁

[WarezParticipant]

This is a very cool idea. Hope we can keep tinkering on it.

[zola2Participant]

Yes but for the moment it seems impossible, I haven’t found anything to write in the “price” field.

[spellureParticipant]

Yeah, still no solution on my part either, sorry 🙁

Hi. I’m new to miqobot.
But regarding your question, there is a solution requiring an additional free software and your game window activate.

The software is 按键精灵, unfortunately there is no English version.

It has a function called picture find, which will find a certain picture in certain window, then get the coordinate.
Next step is to use it simulate mouse and keyboard actions to input the price already in your clipboard.

THERE MUST BE SOFTWARES LIKE IT in ENGLISH. Just like some script maker, bot maker…

Tbh, I don’t suggest to do it, if it comes to everybody, the mb will be broken by it.

Btw, I won’t use this, just provide a way to the solution you need.

[XionParticipant]

Sounds like a RPA solution (Robotic Process)

[congqq2222Participant]

Emmm. I have done some research but I can’t find a similar software in English.

Normal RPA software won’t do what we need.

If you know how to use VBS, you can make a simple script by yourself. without any additional software.

Visual Basic is the easiest programming language you can learn I think.
