UBot DevStudio

Basic Concepts A script – is a collection of commands placed together for a specific purpose. Some examples of scripts you can create are: a script to create an account for you on a website a script to scrape data from a different website a script to help you reach a lot of people quickly on popular websites. You can work on multiple scripts at the same time. To create a new script, click on the new script button at the top. Each tab is a different script. Each script can have a different set of commands that you want UBot to follow. A bot- is the entire system that you are creating. A bot is your finished script of commands that you want UBot to perform. The browser in UBot , is basically a miniature version of internet explorer. It functions like a normal web browser but with advanced functions that let you interface it with UBot. If you right click on the web browser page, a context menu will pop up. Based on what you choose within that menu, it will gather information from the page. More of how the UBot browser works will be explained throughout the tutorials. Types of Nodes – A node is like a word in a sentence. It can tell UBot to do something or it can modify the way another node tells UBot to do something. There are: command nodes, text nodes, constant nodes, variable nodes, list nodes, table nodes. A Node is basically every little command box inside the bot. One way to get nodes into the script window is to simply drag the commands from the toolbar on the left into the script. Two- you can right click in the script window (where it says drag and drop commands here) and a menu will appear with all of the nodes available in the left hand toolbox. Three- is to simply start typing in the command you need into the script window. Click where it says “drag commands here” and start typing. A search toolbox will pop up and show the list of commands to choose from. It will find any command that starts with the letters you have typed. Double click on the command you are looking for. A fourth way is to right click within the browser. Some commands can interact with the browser. A fifth way is you can click and drag a link from the page into the script window. This will create a command for you. Based on the element that you are dragging into the script window, UBot will decide what it thinks you want to do. By dragging the simple form link into the script window, UBot will know that you want to click that link. A Parameter is a certain type of node. These explain something to another node, and they tell other nodes what to do/how to do their job. It can be given to a command, or it can be given to another parameter. String parameters- dark red, a string of text constant parameter- giving you some piece of information. $green Variable parameter- #purple, holds a value- you can change it, it is flexible list parameter- %salmon color. A collection of data, a collection of variables. EX: If you want to create a navigate command. Drag the navigate command into your script window; a parameter window will pop up.  This window sets what the parameters will be for this specific node.  Navigate is a command node, the navigation node contains two parameter nodes. Flow- describes the order in which things execute. If you are having trouble with something in UBot or your script and you can’t figure it out, usually it has something to do with the flow. So be sure to always look at the flow. $Constants – Are things that give you the information that you need. It gives you a randomly generated piece of information, ie. a username or password. #Variables- Hold some kind of value. You can tell it what to be, it is flexible and you can change the value. #Variables are kind of like a note card. You can write on it with a pencil, erase it and write something else. It’s like a little nugget of information that you can change whenever you want to. Set Command – sets a variable to a given value. The set command is under the Variable commands on the left hand side. Drag the set command into the script. Name the variable anything you’d like. Then enter the content you want it to say. Drag the username box over into the script window. Where it says enter text, chose insert variable. Then chose the #variable that you just created. Then it will fill the username box in with what content you entered. You can edit the content of the variable. By right clicking on the content node and going to insert, and then insert string. This will change the value of the variable. These are just a few of the basic concepts in UBot Studios, we will get into more detail of how everything works in later tutorials.
