Problem with purgatory usage

[Tsutomu]

I'm using Lightning as my distance magic but it doesn't get cast so nevermind (i wanted that only use purgatory and discharge).
BUT, what is the problem that my character comes to the waypoint where from it should cast lightning (less than 50 away from mobs but still unnoticed) and continues to close combat mobs to cast PURGATORY_FIRE or DISCHARGE.
I have set up my waypoints intentionally that it comes to ~45 distance from mobs not to get seen and that it can cast both PURG and DISCHARGE. Does it really need to go into mobs or somehow these magic can be set to be casted from distance?
Regards

I think maybe we need to see your profile to see what is wrong.

Here's the changes at OnLoad function in waypoint file:

Code: Select all

<onLoad>changeProfileOption("LOOT_AGAIN", 3000);changeProfileOption("LOOT_DISTANCE", 200);
		RoMScript("SetBootFrameAutoTake(1)");
	</onLoad>

It always says We overrun waypoint #n. I think it goes further than waypoint to fight close range, and overruns the points i set up as good points for purge or discharge

[rock5]

If you want to cast lightning at some distance then you need to increase the combat distance. Still, after it's within 60 and before it reaches 50 I would expect Lighting to fire if it isn't on cooldown. If it reaches 50 before casting any spells, it will cast Discharge and Purgatory Fire first because they have higher priority.

Have you tried higher values for combat distance and max target distance?

[Tsutomu]

I've worked out the lightning stuff, by switching it from 75 min dist to 0 i think, it is in my profile.
But discharge and purge are not. The problem is that my character's not stopping at the exact waypoint, as it rushed towards the mobs. I've tried distance 60, 70, 80 and 90, all of them and still same. :S
Does RoMbot has somewhere internally a code that checks if combat distance&target distance<=50 it makes it melee in anycase, overriding any profile settings?
Nevermind though, it's working very good, that would only save me couple of potions (still'd like to know what's causing it,might need in another waypoint to surprise mobs with discharge from distance 50,60 etc.).

[rock5]

Rombot checks for enemies while it's moving so maybe it is seeing the enemies earlier than you expect. If you want it to get to the waypoint before attacking, try switching to type 'run' before the waypoint and then changing back to 'normal' at the waypoint. That way it will only start looking for targets after it reaches the waypoint.

There is probably more than one way to do it but you could use

Code: Select all

__WPL:setForcedWaypointType("RUN")

As for it running in, it might be because it uses one of the other skills that have a closer range so it automatically runs in. It shouldn't try to use a skill that you are out of range for but I noticed Discharge has no 'range' value in the skills database. Maybe you could try adding the 'range' and see it it works better. It's around line 16 of skills.xml in the 'database' folder.

[Tsutomu]

Thanks for the info, i already set up Discharge range to 60. Still the same, i think you are right and i must change the waypoint type "on the fly".
Thanks again.
