Problem - Selecting the Pet with the lowest PctHPs

[Yaguex]

I got a script with the following code, which tells me all the pets in the group and their respective PctHPs:

for i=0,mq.TLO.Group.Members() do
    print('Pet ', mq.TLO.Group.Member(i).Pet.CleanName() , ' is at ', mq.TLO.Group.Member(i).Pet.PctHPs(), '% health')
end

It seems to work correctly. See screenshot below:



Well, now that I seem to have every pet's health, I would like to target whichever pet is lowest in health.

Any suggestion? Thanks!

have a variable 'currentlowest' that starts with a value of 101, then a variable to store the spawn id, and for each loop check to see if it's less than the currentlowest, if it is, then update both the currentlowest and the spawn id.

When you reach the end, you'll have the lowest stored in the spawnid and if the currentlowest is less than 100, then handle that appropriately.

Hmmmm I am not sure I follow. Would you terribly mind to rephrase that for me please? I am still struggling with the coding concepts hehe

Thank you!

Not going to test the syntax, but something like:

lowestPctIndex = 0
lowestPct = mq.TLO.Group.Member(0).Pet.PctHPs()

for i=1,mq.TLO.Group.Members() do
    if mq.TLO.Group.Member(i).Pet.PctHPs() < lowestPetPct then
       lowestPct = mq.TLO.Group.Member(i).Pet.PctHPs()
       lowestPctIndex = i
    end
end

On completion, lowestPctIndex will be the group member with the lowest health pet. Disclaimer - this code doesn't check that a member has a pet, so I don't know what happens for that case.

Worked like a charm. Thanks!
