question for profil config

[C3PO]

for one of my waypoints I wan't that my char is fighting with the normal attack. (like useskill(1,1))
can someone give me advise how to set that up.

regards

I not sure if this is what you're after but when I wanted to use the normal attack to train my weapon skill I set hotkey="VK_1" with only one attack skill, eg.

Code: Select all

		<skill name="ROGUE_SHADOWSTAB"    hotkey="VK_1" priority="90">

Then I put the Attack skill in the first action bar slot. When it tried to use Shadowstab it would use Attack instead. When I wanted it to use Shadowstab again I just put Shadowstab in the first action bar slot again.

Sorry, I forgot to point out that my Char is Mage/Priest.
Would that still work?

Rock posted it as an example, so using the rogue skill won't work for your character because it doesn't have rogue skills.

You need an instant cast with no cooldown, MAGE_PURGATORY_FIRE comes to mind for your character.

I believe m/p doesn't have any instant cast spammable skills so I'm not sure.

I think the other way of doing it (typically for custom macroes) is to add a fake skill to the skills database, with no Id, then add it to your profile with an action bar hotkey.

So add this to the skills.xml file

Code: Select all

	<skill name="ALL_ATTACK" type="damage" target="enemy"/>

then you can use this in your profile

Code: Select all

      <skill name="ALL_ATTACK"    hotkey="VK_1" priority="90">

Edit: Forgot about Purgatory Fire. That should work. But I wonder if maybe we should add 'Attack' somehow to the skills database?

ok now I understand what you mean! thanks a lot.

But addtional - maybe for Lisa - is it possible to manipulate the skills directly from the waypointfile?

I don't feel it is needed, the bot uses 'Attack' for melee chars automatically as part of the default. So the only time people would need to actually tell the bot to use attack is if they are doing something specific, like leveling weapon skills.

In that case I would just do a specific WP for it and use the RoMScript to make bot use attack. Even a userfuction would be enough.

I would try making it use attack instead of normal damage skills.
So change type to melee and then onpreskillcast use attack and return false.

This is untested.

Code: Select all

	<onLoad>
	changeProfileOption("COMBAT_TYPE", "melee")	
	settings.profile.events.onPreSkillCast = function()
	if arg1.Type == STYPE_DAMAGE then
		RoMScript("UseSkill(1,1)")
		return false
	end
	end
	</onLoad>

Forget an 'end'

works fine! Thanks

Try adding this to the onload of your waypoint file,

Code: Select all

	for k,v in pairs(settings.profile.skills) do
		if v.Type == STYPE_DAMAGE then
			if v.Name == "MAGE_PURGATORY_FIRE" then
				v.AutoUse = true
				v.hotkey = key.VK_1
			else
				v.AutoUse = false
			end
		end
	end

This will set Purgatory Fire to use action bar key 1 and disable all other attack skills. This requires that you have Purgatory Fire in your profile and Attack in action bar key 1. Purgatory Fire can be disabled in your profile with autouse="false" if you don't usually use it.
