NPC Interaction - some way for the PartyDPS/Heals to interact with npc dialogs. e.g. talk to XYZ npc, select option 1, then option 5 etc. This is not a simple one as the main use case for it would be for quest accepting and turn-ins. i.e. Main targets the npc, either sets a raid icon to tell the bots to open a dialog (target_NPC) and then sets another icon to tell them which ChoiceOption / Speakframe option to select. I'll have to do a bit more thinking about this as theres a lot of questions and variable involved in all of that. Might even require extending ingamefunctions to do it tho as ideally you would want to be able to select the quest on your main character and have the bots just mirror what the main is doing. It would be nice to be able to get a main + 4 bots to do all 10 daileys in one sitting or to build waypoints for quest chains and run 5 characters through at once.

I remember reading a comment from Admin about some IPC functions for MM, but have never heard any more about it. If there are some there, then it would make it easier to get this sort of thing happening as you could tell the other MM instances to execute the appropriate dialog options, instead of going through the game client and therefore risking detection by gms.

A character that follows my mainchar, heals him and if i set so when no heal is needed fight the
target the mainchar has. But as I want to use it to help level a low char as mainchar,
the two chars should not be in a group. So the mainchar gets the XP, and gets healed...

I find that hard to believe. Are you sure of that? So if I'm minding my own business, killing stuff and someone runs up and heals me while I'm fighting, I loose out on XP? Does that mean the person healing me gets some of the XP? I thought it would be like killing the mob, if 2 people attack a mob the one to aggro it first gets the XP. That's how it works doesn't it?
