Making a simple hauler

I was working on a simple ore hauler while using the simple miner script that came with sanderling as reference.

I was able to get warping to the correct stargate working after a few hours of trial and error (It was hard for me to get used to the API) I have a question about using the Measurement var. Am I suppose to recall it to update the values?

It gets pretty complicated for a simpleton like me, are there any skeletons (rules to follow) for making a script?

Yes, to get the current state you should get a new Measurement from the framework. The contents of the Measurement object handed to you are not changed by the framework.

Yes, there are definitely rules: First you should identify a path of how you could achieve the desired outcome by making inputs to the eve online UI like a normal user with keyboard and mouse. When working with the mouse, you have to know which UIElements to use. Simplest way to discover the UIElements is the API Explorer.

To make it easier for you, I suggest you start with the approach explained above and then have a look at the wiki at https://github.com/Arcitectus/Sanderling/wiki/Bot-API. But as soon as you know which path you want to take through the UI, you can ask for guidance on UI parts on the forum at http://forum.botlab.org/cat/eve-online/.

I have looked into the API link but it seems more of like what features the bot has, not really much documentation on how to use it. I learned more using the mining.cs as reference while testing what I was able to do while altering it. I will keep experimenting and hopefully one day I can release a hauler script into the forum. Thanks!
