Using Buff Potions

[horsewilly]

I was just wondering if there was any way to make the bot automatically use potions such as housekeeper speed potions? I've tried the addon ntBuff, but it somehow manages to use up one stack of potions within a few minutes for me.
Thanks

I guess you could check for the buff in one of the event sections eg. onLeaveCombat, and if the buff is missing use a potion.

Something like;

Code: Select all

player:updateBuffs("player")
if player:hasBuff("Speed") then -- the name of the buff
    inventory:useItem("Speed Potion") -- the name of the potion
end

I have created this little code to use housemaid potions. I have been using this inside <onLeaveCombat></onLeaveCombat> but i think it can be placed on others too. This works for english version but those names are easy to change after each section. This is still in progress but has been working well. Hope you guys enjoy it

Code: Select all

<!--     [Housemaid potions]
    
            This checks if we have housemaid potion buff. 
            If we dont have that buff then bot drinks potion if we have
            potions on inventory and it is set to use it.
            
            Bugs:
            - It  uses luck potion randomly sometimes.
                - Maybe add timer into check so it would try to use another in 1.45h or so.

            Version history:
            1.2 -    New food: Special Spicy Meatsauce Burrito and little remade code. 
                    Buff names can all be seen once and change if needed.
            1.1    -    Corrected Luck potion buff name
            1.0    -    Added time after using potions so it would use all potions after first kill. 
                    It was using all too fast. Potions get cooldown after using one so it skips others.
            0.9    -    Added Housekeeper Special Caviar Sandwich to list
            0.8    -     Remade code. Now it uses only 1 if to check all and if all conditions are true then it uses potion.
                    Its easier to add potions later if needed.

Ps. Feel free to leave comments on improving this in anyway.

Edit: Updated code.

[horsewilly]

Oh that's great, thanks a bunch for sharing!
I'll be sure to try it out

[Giram]

Not really sure if anyone is interested about this but i updated my code. I hope self bumb is allowed here

http://www.solarstrike.net/phpBB3/viewt ... 690#p13690

Edit: There was typo in code but i fixed it.

[rock5]

Can I make a suggestion? Put this code in a function in an lua file to be placed in the userfunctions file. That way people can just put the file in the userfunctions folder and use the function wherever they like.

eg.
addon_housemaidpots.lua

Code: Select all

function useMaidPots()
    your code
end

Profile

Code: Select all

<onLeaveCombat>
    useMaidPots()
</onLeaveCombat>

You could even increase it's functionality to accept an argument eg.

Code: Select all

useMaidPots("speed")

[Giram]

Here is new and improved version of my housemaid potion and food script. Download attachment and place it to userfunctions folder. I hope names explain them self what they do.

These command are now available. More to come if needed.
These are crafting potions:

Code: Select all

useHousemaidPotions("speed");

Code: Select all

useHousemaidPotions("frog");

Code: Select all

useHousemaidPotions("luck");

Code: Select all

useHousemaidPotions("clearThought");

Code: Select all

useHousemaidPotions("crazyBreakout");

Code: Select all

useHousemaidPotions("fullness");

Code: Select all

useHousemaidPotions("gallopingGale");

These are housemaid foods:

Code: Select all

useHousemaidPotions("MeatsauceBurrito");

Code: Select all

useHousemaidPotions("caviarSandwich");

Code: Select all

useHousemaidPotions("saltedFish");

Code: Select all

useHousemaidPotions("deliciousSwampMix");

How to use these command? Copy line that you want the bot to use.

Example:

Code: Select all

<onLeaveCombat><![CDATA[
        -- Additional Lua code to execute after killing an enemy
    ]]>
    
    useHousemaidPotions("speed");
    useHousemaidPotions("luck");
    useHousemaidPotions("MeatsauceBurrito");

    </onLeaveCombat>

Edit:
Improved code and added potions.

Not really sure if Crazy Breakout works. Haven't got change to test it.

[Giram]

I would appriciate if someone could help me get buff names for few potion / food. Them this addon would cover caster items to.

I miss buff names for these items:
- Housekeeper Special Smoked Bacon with Herbs 207210
- Housekeeper Special Deluxe Seafood 207212
- Housekeeper Special Delicious Swamp Mix 207214
- Housekeeper Special Unimaginable Salad 207215
- Galloping Gale 207204

[rock5]

Good work.

You could probably further optimize it by having it accept a table of items too.

eg.

Code: Select all

    useHousemaidPotions({"speed","luck","MeatsauceBurrito"});

Also instead of repeating the same bit of code 6 time or more, you could create a loop and use an item table.

eg.

Code: Select all

itemTable ={
  [1]={optionName = "speed", potID = 207200, buffName = "Unbridled Enthusiams"},
  [2]={optionName = "frog", potID = 207200, buffName = "Princely Look"},
  [3]={optionName = "luck", potID = 207200, buffName = "Turn of Luck Powder Dust"},
  [4]={optionName = "MeatsauceBurrito", potID = 207200, buffName = "Spicy Meatsauce Burrito"},
  [5]={optionName = "caviarSandwich", potID = 207200, buffName = "Caviar Sandwich"},
  [6]={optionName = "saltedFish", potID = 207200, buffName = "Salted Fish with Sauce"},
}

Then your function would look like.

Code: Select all

function useHousemaidPotions(_potionName)

for __, option in pairs(itemTable) do
	if _potionName == option.optionName then
		if not player:hasBuff(option.buffName) and inventory:itemTotalCount(option.potID) >= 1 then
			inventory:useItem(option.potID);
			inventory:update();
			yrest(750);
		end
	end
end

end

The benefits of this is, to add an item you just have to add it to the table and to change your function code you only have to change it once, not once for every item.

Hope this helps.

[Giram]

Thanks for the tips how to optimize it.

Could you explain how this part works? I have never seen that kind of for for loop.

Code: Select all

for __, option in pairs(itemTable) do

This kind of for loop i am familiar with:

Code: Select all

for (x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
    code here
}

[Administrator]

It's easier to understand when you see it like this:

Code: Select all

for i,v in pairs(someTable) do

'i' is the index, and 'v' is the value. It will go everything in someTable and give the proper index and value for each. For example:

Code: Select all

someTable = {1 = "red", 2 = "green", 3 = "blue"};
for i,v in pairs(someTable) do
  print(i, v);
end
-- this will print:
-- 1     red
-- 2     green
-- 3     blue

Updated version released.

Fix for typo on 3rd line in addon_housemaidPotions_V2.lua

Code: Select all

[1] = {optionName = "speed", potID = 207200, buffName = "Unbridled Enthusiasm", castTime = 0},

[Giram]

Fixed that typo and uploaded new version even its with same name.
