revision 587, It's a party - break out the streamers.

[Alkaiser]

I had disabled the jump-to-cancel previously, so I guess that's why the " => * aborted * " didn't seem to have any noticeable effect.

Where can I do that ?

My caster does the same thing though, it says aborted but it has no affect at all on the bot itself, it still casts the spell.

Line 12 in player.lua

Change JUMP_TRUE = true to false

Thank you !

You shouldn't need to change jump to false anymore, I fixed up the code, just update to latest revision.

I am thinking of making the healer do a findenemy and with a function to purely check if anything is targeting the healer. If so then cast holy aura.

In most cases if the healer gets agro they die pretty fast, so this might help them live longer lol

What you think?

First off all, this works very nice, great job! It's very easy to handle and works great.
Casting holy aura when having aggro might occur quite often when the tank moves into a group and hasn't thrown a shield yet. Usually that would be ok, but as it is on a 5 min cooldown then you might just be needing it then. For most instances it would be ok probably.

Maybe as a "yes/no cast holy aura when having aggro" option?

Yeah what I added was just the basics to get people started, the real worth of what i have done is when people create their own userfunctions and call it from a WP file which is why I set it up to do just that in my default.

So people can create their own function to handle healing, ie druid or even priest for their specific needs. So you could easily have a userfunction for healing KS or DoD or which ever instance and the healer will behave to specific needs and you won't need to alter any of the actual default bot files.

I currently have mine set up to use several icons as communications for the party characters. I set a IV icon on party leader and it tells the healer to stop following until that icon is removed from leader. This allows me to have a distance break between healer and tank so as to avoid any aoe damage from mobs. You can also easily set up a pause so healer doesn't heal for 3 seconds once entering combat so tank has a chance to get threat before heals.

So there is a huge range of things that can be done, I just set up the foundation for people =)

First I want to say - great job with the party bot. I wish I had half the skill with programming You've got lisa.
However, no matter how I try I could not find solution to my problems so I've decided to ask the maker.
First problem is easy to explain - every time I try to run partydps.xml I got an error: ".... /classes/pawn.lua:548: Invalid adress - it has something to do with
party icon.
The second thing is - I want to make a condition - so if char has a specific buff on, function PartyHeals() should stop and another waypoint file should be loaded.
I was fighting with the thing for a couple of evenings - no success though. All I've come with is is this little bit of code in partyhealer.xml - but it does not work
I could realy use some help here <begging>

<!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="" z="" y="">

repeat
local doc = true

if
(player:hasBuff("Regenerate"))
then
doc = false
end

while(doc)
do
PartyHeals()
end

until
doc == false

loadPaths("ret.xml");
</waypoint>

[lisa]

No need to beg

Ok for the loading new path first thing comes to my attention is the actual loadPaths code

Code: Select all

loadPaths("ret.xml"); 

try it without the .xml

Code: Select all

loadPaths("ret"); 

for first problem which revision of rombot are you using?

[rock5]

Code: Select all

while(doc)
do
PartyHeals()
end

This part looks like a closed loop. If doc = true it will never leave the loop.

[lisa]

Yeah sorry I didn't have a good look, was in a rush earlier, had to get some work done.

try this

Code: Select all

	while(true) do
		if (player:hasBuff("Regenerate")) then 
		loadPaths("ret");
		else
		PartyHeals()
		end
	end
	

using a heal over time as a key to do another WP seems like it might have issues, unless in the ret.xml WP the first thing you do is cancel the buff, then it might be ok. I assume at some stage you will want to PartyHeals() again and if you load this code and still have the regenerate buff you can get stuck in a loop until the buff runs out.

[Reaperone]

Big thanks for a swift answer guys. Unfortunately it seems to work partially. New waypoint file is getting loaded but char just keeps following party leader.
Does not stop healing either. I will play with it some more, read about how lua works. Shall succeed with it one day (I do not give up that easily :)

Hi, I'm giving this a go for the first time and the problem I'm having is that 90% of the time the party leader doesn't put the mark on the mob. Anyone else?


Thanks

[lisa]

if the party leader is run by a bot and you have

Code: Select all

		<option name="PARTY"			value="true" />
		<option name="PARTY_ICONS"		value="true" />

In profile then it will always 100% mark target with the I icon, if it isn't then there is another issue. Like maybe the hp check, in which case you will need

Code: Select all

		<option name="PARTY"			value="true" />
		<option name="PARTY_ICONS"		value="true" />
		<option name="PARTY_INSTANCE"	value="true" />

note that the default profile has the party code commented out with <!-- -->

[Dsanchez]

Yes, they were commented out. Weird that it was still marking sometimes. All is working good now. This is an awesome script.


Thanks =)
