Netwatch II

I was using this script
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Improved_Netwatch_II for a couple of years without a problem on my 2.9.xx Mikrotik.
I had bought a license for Mikrotik 3.x and the same script doesn't work with 3.14
Can somebody adapt it to version 3.14? Without documentation on 3.x scripting host, I can't figure out there the problem lies in the script

:local i 0;
{
:do {
:set i ($i + 1);
} while=(($i < 5) && ([/ping xx.xx.xx.xx interval=3 count=1]=0))
:if ($i=5 && [/ip route get [find comment="Default Route"] distance]=1) do={
:log info "Main Gateway down";
/ip route set [find comment="Default Route"] distance=3;
}

mrz Thank you, but it just keeps saying:
For
:set i ($i + 1);
this error:
expected variable name (line 1 column 6)
For
:if ($i=5 && [/ip route get [find comment="Default Route"]
distance]=1
this error:
syntax error (line 1 column 17)
Then I just launch the script by pressing Run Script, only silence I hear.

sorry, script edited. It is working on my router.
Sorry to say, but I had tried to paste it with spaces, without spaces...all the ways i could invent
Nothing! nothing! nothing!
Then I launch it, it's not even pinging the host. I can judge this by looking at the counters of my icmp rule.
Then I create a simple script, that just pings(/ping xx.xx.xx.xx), the counters show that it's working and in /ip firewall connections I clearly see this.
WTF i'm doing wrong?

Run script manually from console, if there are any errors they will be shown in console output.

mrz, I did test the script from console and it gives me the same errors as in my previous messages.

1) When you paste script directly in console then put it all in { }.
otherwise first line where local i is defined will be treated as another script.
2) You need route in routing table with comment "Default Route"
Script is working if both conditions above are met.

I didn't know that you have to put the script in { }. Thank you. I will try later.

mrz your script is working ok with one more
} at the end.
So the final script look like:
:local i 0;
{
:do {
:set i ($i + 1);
} while=(($i < 5) && ([/ping xx.xx.xx.xx interval=3 count=1]=0))
:if ($i=5 && [/ip route get [find comment="Default Route"] distance]=1) do={
:log info "Main Gateway down";
/ip route set [find comment="Default Route"] distance=3;
}
}
Big thanks for your help.
