Updating items

3.5 Update items listing settings with !update command

3.5.1. Updating a single item

Sometime, after you've added the items that you want your bot trade, you might change your mind to adjust the min and max, change the intent, and maybe manually price items that your bot bought. In order to do that, you will need to use !update command.

An !update command pretty much similar to the !add command, where you need to tell your bot what item (identifying parameter) and then include the listing settings parameters that you want to update. That's mean Table 3.2 and Table 3.3 can also be used here. In addition to Table 3.2, since the items have been added to the pricelist, now you can use a new identifying parameter instead of name, defindex, and sku: the item identifying parameter.

To use item parameter, simply put the full item name. When you're using the !add command with name or defindex identifying parameter, you need to use sub-parameters to specifically add your targeted item, but not with item parameter.

• Example 1: Let say you want to update the max to 3.

  • Non-Craftable Tour of Duty Ticket
    • When adding item using !add command (3 options):
      • !add name=Tour of Duty Ticket&craftable=false OR
      • !add defindex=725&craftable=false
      • !add sku=725;6;uncraftable
    • When updating the item using !update command (4 options):
      • !update name=Tour of Duty Ticket&craftable=false&max=3
      • !update defindex=725&craftable=false&max=3
      • !update sku=725;6;uncraftable&max=3
      • !update item=Non-Craftable Tour of Duty Ticket&max=3

• Example 2: Let say you want to update the intent to sell and manually price the item:

  • Pyroland Daydream Smissmas Saxton
    • When adding item using !add command (3 options):
      • !add name=Smissmas Saxton&quality=Unusual&effect=Pyroland Daydream OR
      • !add defindex=31089&quality=Unusual&effect=Pyroland Daydream
      • !add sku=31089;5;u145
    • When updating the item using !update command (4 options):
      • !update name=Smissmas Saxton&quality=Unusual&effect=Pyroland Daydream&intent=sell&sell.keys=300&buy.keys=100
      • !update defindex=31089&quality=Unusual&effect=Pyroland Daydream&intent=sell&sell.keys=300&buy.keys=100
      • !update sku=31089;5;u145&intent=sell&sell.keys=300&buy.keys=100
      • !update item=Pyroland Daydream Smissmas Saxton&intent=sell&sell.keys=300&buy.keys=100

Special parameters

3.5.2. Updating multiple items

This bot has an option to update the listing parameters of all items at once, or update all items by group (if you have set the group when adding/updating the items individually).

3.5.2.1. Update all items

• Syntax: !update all=true&[listing parameters to update]

• Example:

  1. !update all=true&intent=sell - will update all item entries in your pricelist to intent=sell.
  2. !update all=true&max=5&intent=bank&enabled=false - will update max to 5, intent to bank and disable listing on backpack.tf for all items.

You can only update intent, min, max, autoprice, and enabled parameters for !update all=true command.

Special parameter

Parameter	Type	Description
removenote	boolean	Sending !update all=true&removenote=true will set both note.buy and note.sell to null (will use your templates).

*Important Note

• !update all=true to update all items at once DO NOT SUPPORT to update buy.keys, buy.metal, sell.keys, sell.metal, note.buy and note.sell parameters.

3.5.2.2. Update all items by group

Syntax: !update all=true&withgroup=<groupName>&[listing parameters to update] Example:

1. !update all=true&withgroup=craftw&intent=sell - will update all item entries with group "craftw" in your pricelist to intent=sell.
2. !update all=true&withgroup=craftw&group=craftweapon&max=5&intent=bank&enabled=false - will update group "craftw" to "craftweapon", max to 5, intent to bank and disable listing on backpack.tf for all "craftw" items.

*Note:

• Update all items by group SUPPORT updating buy.keys, buy.metal, sell.keys, sell.metal, note.buy and note.sell, BUT please make sure to adhere to the rules for sell and buy, which you HAVE to define BOTH of it. Example:
• !update all=true&withgroup=craft&buy.metal=0.05&sell.metal=0.11 - this will update buy/sell price for all items on the "craft" group.
