Hi, so i dont really use python to do anything, but i decided to get chatgpt to write something for me today.

So i have to type AI=fixed Under RESTRICTOR=0 but only if the MODEL=name contains traffic (as shown below)

[CAR_63]
MODEL=traffic_dodge_challenger_srt
SKIN=00_sepang_blue_pearl_effect_br
SPECTATOR_MODE=0
DRIVERNAME=
TEAM=
GUID=
BALLAST=0
RESTRICTOR=0
AI=fixed

with the following script, it doesnt run it correctly. It opens the script for under half a second than dissapeers without even modifying the entry_list.cfg file. How may i fix this

`# Define the file path
file_path = 'entry_list.cfg'

Open the file and read its contents

with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
lines = file.readlines()

Iterate through the lines and modify as needed

modified_lines = []
for line in lines:
# Check if the line contains "MODEL=traffic"
if 'MODEL=traffic' in line:
# Add "AI=fixed" under "RESTRICTOR=0"
if line.strip().startswith('RESTRICTOR=0'):
modified_lines.append(line)
modified_lines.append('AI=fixed\n')
else:
modified_lines.append(line)
else:
modified_lines.append(line)

Write the modified content back to the file

with open(file_path, 'w') as file:
file.writelines(modified_lines)`

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Unless you're very firm with ChatGPT it tends to produce nonsensical code for things that aren't super basic.

#

What's the problem you're having?

#

i was really descriptive with what i needed it to produce. So i assume that what it made was going to work right

hearty vessel
#

ChatGPT is not logically consistent so I would never assume that.

And of course a problem with asking ChatGPT to produce code for something you don't understand is that if it doesn't work you have no idea what went wrong.

#

How are you running it?

indigo wagon
hearty vessel
#

You should run it from a cmd window

#

That way you can see any errors it produces.

#

i pasted the code into a notepad file and saved it as new.py than placed it in the directory containing the file i needed it to modify and then ran it

#

i wasnt sure how to run it in cmd

hearty vessel
#

win+r, type cmd, enter, then cd to the directory that the file is in.

#

Then py script.py

indigo wagon
#

ok, so if im understanding correctly i type in

cd H:\SteamLibrary\assettocorsa\server\presets\SRP PUBLIC 1 SWRVN (this is where my script is placed in)

Then py new.py (since new.py is the script name)

hearty vessel
#

In cmd you can usually tab-complete stuff. If the file path has spaces in it you'll need to surround the entire thing in quotes

#

e.g. if you type cd \Ste then hit tab it might autocomplete that for you

#

just a tip

#

make sure you're not violating the TOS of the game.
