Hi guys,
been trying to get my head around applescript and as an exercise i'm trying to make a loader for diablo II (which will also work for warcraft 3 and starcraft and anything else which requires a cd image to be mounted prior to running the game)
so far i have this:
and this does actually work, but only 10% of the time...
when it works, the image mounts, the game runs, and when the game is exited, the disc unmounts and the script app closes...
however, when it doesnt work (which like i said is the majority of the time) the script loads, hdiutil loads (activity viewer) and maxes out the cores and it remains like that until i force quit it...
so i'm assuming there is something unorthodox about the way the image is getting mounted... any advice on why this happens or general applescript hints and tips related to this would be much appreciated

so far i have this:
Code:
property gameRunning : false
property gameMounted : false
property gameName : "Diablo II (Carbon)"
property gameImageName : "Lord of Destruction"
set gameImage to (path to library folder from user domain as text) & "Installation Files & Disc Images:Games:Diablo II:Diablo II - Lord Of Destruction.iso"
do shell script "hdiutil attach " & quoted form of POSIX path of gameImage
activate application gameName
on idle
tell application "System Events"
set gameRunning to gameName is in (get name of processes)
set gameMounted to gameImageName is in (get name of disks)
end tell
if gameRunning is false and gameMounted then quit
return 60
end idle
on quit
do shell script "hdiutil detach " & quoted form of ("/Volumes/" & gameImageName)
continue quit
end quitand this does actually work, but only 10% of the time...
