Elite skill 70 R/S

[NyTr0g3n3]

Hi everybody,

I have a little problem with R/S 70 elite skill. For those who don't know what it does, it summons a Substitute which taunt mobs around and take 5 attacks before blowing up.

The problem is that when I use it, the mob target the Substitute and MM says me I lost my target so my character makes like the fight is over but when the Substitute blows up, the mob come to fight me again. When it happens, my character doesn't fight the mob anymore and let him kill my character !

I use it to farm DoD 1st boss so, if the boss target the Substitute, my character thinks the fight is over and try to go out but he is blocked by the gate.

Does someone find how to avoid this ?

Thanks ^^

Try adding the substitute to your friends list or maybe set ANTI_KS to false.

[NyTr0g3n3]

Hi rock,

Thanks for your answer ! I just tried to set ANTI_KS to False and add Substitute to my friends but it still doesn't work. Sorry

[NyTr0g3n3]

After many tests, I still have this problem. I really don't know what to do

[rock5]

Maybe try the RC version. There are a lot of targeting improvements.

Thanks, it seems to work but When I use RC3 I have a problem : I copy/paste my profile but now it only use 2 attack skills (instead of the 5 which are in my profile). Buff skills work fine.

It's strange, isn't it ?

[rock5]

Can I have a look at your profile?

You have PRIORITY_CASTING set to true. This means it will always cast the first attack skills on your list when available. If you want it to go through and check all your skills then set it to false.

[NyTr0g3n3]

Alright it works but I don't know why my profile worked fine with priority casting before I use RC3.

I have to say that RC3 is a lot faster ! Great job !

By the way, you can see in my profile I use Combo Throw but in game, it's a macro which use thrown cast combo throw and after that it equips my X-Bow. With my preavious version it worked fine but with RC3 it doesn't work anymore. It's not very important but if you know why can you tell me ? If you don't know do not waste your time with that. I'm already happy to get my skills working ^^

Thanks a lot rock5

[rock5]

I'm not sure. Macros are a bit tricky now because the bot can tell if a skill works or not.

Hm.. Does the macro equip the projectiles first, use Combo Throw then equip the bow and arrows again? If so then the issue could be that Combo Throw requires projectiles but the bot detects that you don't have them equipped so doesn't use that skill. Yes, the bot checks consumable requirements now.

I should probably add some method for using macroes so they don't have problems with the skills requirements. I don't think it will be that easy though. If I find that it's easy I'll add it to the RC for my next commit.

BTW how are you casting the skill in the macro? What does your macro look like?

[NyTr0g3n3]

Ok, this is not important.

My macro is :

Code: Select all

/script EquipItem (11)
/use "Name of thrown"
/cast Combo throw
/wait .2
/use "Name of arrow"
/use "Name of X-Bow or Bow"

[rock5]

Although I know it's not that important to you, macros are something the bot is supposed to be able to do.

You could try using another skill to trigger the macro, eg. Vampire Arrow. My testing triggered the macro but I couldn't get the macro to work. It seemed that /use wasn't working. I was able to get it working with /script UseItemByName("item").

[NyTr0g3n3]

Hi rock5,

Today I tried to trigger the macro with Vampire Arrow but it doesn't work. I realised it doesn't work with skill that need arrows or throwns because when I try to trigger the macro with Blind Spot it works.

So this is a way to execute my macro.

I made some test today and I realised my original problem wasn't solved: My character still leave fight when he loses aggro !

I had the same problem with my pet which had a skill to reset my aggro.

I tought RC3 solved my problem but it doesn't

[rock5]

Today I tried to trigger the macro with Vampire Arrow but it doesn't work.

I got it working like this.

Macro

Code: Select all

/script EquipItem (11)
/script UseItemByName ("Assassin's Blade")
/script CastSpellByName("Combo Throw")
/wait .2
/script UseItemByName ("Magic Pattern Arrow")
/script UseItemByName ("Great Forsaken Crossbow")

Profile skill

Code: Select all

		<skill name="SCOUT_VAMPIRE_ARROWS" 		hotkey="VK_6" priority="80" />

I made some test today and I realised my original problem wasn't solved: My character still leave fight when he loses aggro !

I don't really know how Substitute works. When I use it I get a buff but I don't see it's affects. I don't see a 'Substitute' and I don't see any entries in the combat log about it taking damage for me. I certainly didn't loose aggro when using it. Maybe you can explain better how you are loosing aggro.

[NyTr0g3n3]

I explained this in my first post ^^ :

It's R/S 70 elite skill. It changes the classical Substitute you know.
Here is the description skill:

"Summons a real Substitute on the spot when a Substitute is used. The Substitute exists for 20...95* seconds and maintains a Taunt with a range of 70. After it is attacked 5 times it will blow up, causing damage and Stun for 2 seconds."

It's the Taunt which makes me loose aggro.

Thanks for trying to solve my problem rock5 !

I doubt the substitute would fall into any of the existing special code like inparty or warden pet.

Couple ways to do it I guess
1. Set anti-KS to false.
2. Add in specific code for the specific class combination and check if target is attacking the substitute, the same way it checks for part members or warden pets.

[rock5]

I explained this in my first post ^^ :

It's R/S 70 elite skill.

Sorry I thought you were talking about Substitute itself.

Couple ways to do it I guess
1. Set anti-KS to false.
2. Add in specific code for the specific class combination and check if target is attacking the substitute, the same way it checks for part members or warden pets.

He already said he tried ANTI_KS and adding to the friends list. I'm thinking that should have worked, unless he did it wrong.

Although I think there might be something to fix here. Is there any situation where, once you have already started attacking something, that you would want it to break? I can understand if, as you start to attack it, if it aggroes on something else then it should stop because of ANTI_KS but if you have already attacked it and caused damage why would you break?

NyTr0g3n3, are there any messages printed in MM when it breaks from the fight? If so, could you copy them here?

[NyTr0g3n3]

Here is what MM prints when I use Substitute:

Code: Select all

Pression MACRO: ROGUE_SUBSTITUTE
=>   Okander Mallen, le "Fou" (918430/2519176)
Use MACRO: Executing RoMScript "madman.Time".
Current fight aborted.
Deciblage.
Deplacement au chemin #9, (2125, 2605)

[lisa]

You get that message if madman does his leap in the air, the bot should pick him up again though unless you have done specific code for the fight.
