Stop Movement on Boss Detection

[whome]

Is there a way to have bot stop when a random, roaming boss is located for a set period of time? I know the game gives a warning when nearing a roaming boss, but the bot does not detect such a warning....... thanks in advance if possible.

EDIT:-

So, I guess there is no such option. How about someone please looking at why my profile options are not working, please..... Here are the parts I have edited.....

Code: Select all

		<!-- Combat options -->
		<option name="COMBAT_TYPE"        value="" />	<!-- leave empty or choose ranged/melee if not using class default -->
		<option name="COMBAT_RANGED_PULL" value="true" /> <!-- only important for melees -->
		<option name="COMBAT_DISTANCE"    value="150" />
		<option name="MAX_FIGHT_TIME"     value="15" />	<!-- Max time without damage before break -->
		<option name="DOT_PERCENT"        value="90" />
		<option name="ANTI_KS"            value="false" />
		<option name="MAX_TARGET_DIST"    value="140" />
		<option name="AUTO_ELITE_FACTOR"  value="4" />  <!-- mobs with x * your HP value counts as 'Elite' and we will not target it -->

and

Code: Select all

	<onLoad><![CDATA[
		-- Additional Lua code to execute after loading the profile
		-- and before the bot starts. e.g. You could overwrite profile settings here
		-- like: changeProfileOption("HP_REST", 60);
		startGMDetect()
		local target = player:getTarget();
		if( target.HP == target.MaxHP > player.MaxHP * settings.profile.options.AUTO_ELITE_FACTOR ) then
	 	yrest(2000)
		end
	]]></onLoad>

as you can see, I am a total learner, but cannot think of any other way to stop moevement when an elite is detected....... sorry in advance

[whome]

I edited my original post. Maybe some kind soul can check why I can't get it to work.......

By putting it in the onload section of your profile though it means the code will only be checked when the character is first started.

I guess easiest way to use it would be in your WP file and just do it at the coords where elites sometimes reside.

To make it easier could make it a function in the onload of WP and then call the function at the waypoint coords where you want.

So in WP file

Code: Select all

   <onLoad><![CDATA[
function elites()
	local obj = nil;
	local objectList = CObjectList();
	objectList:update();
	for i = 0,objectList:size() do
		obj = objectList:getObject(i);

		if( obj ~= nil ) then
			if( obj.Type == PT_MONSTER then
				local pawn = CPawn(obj.Address);
				pawn:update();
				local _target = pawn:getTarget();
				if( _target.MaxHP > player.MaxHP * settings.profile.options.AUTO_ELITE_FACTOR ) then
					yrest(2000) -- put what you want to do here if elite nearby
				end
			end
		end
	end
end
   ]]></onLoad>

then at coords use elites()

Code: Select all

<waypoint x="12794" z="1601" y="59"> elites()	</waypoint>

[whome]

Thanks so much Lisa, ill take a look asap

[rock5]

Lisa, that doesn't look right. If "pawn" = the object then you want to check its hp, not its targets hp.

Anyway you could also use an eval function.

Code: Select all

   <onLoad><![CDATA[
		function eliteEval(address)
			local target = CPawn(address)
			if( target.MaxHP > player.MaxHP * settings.profile.options.AUTO_ELITE_FACTOR ) then
				return true
			end
			return false
		end

		function elites()
			mob = player:findNearestNameOrId("",nil,eliteEval)
			if mob then
			   yrest(2000) -- put what you want to do here if elite nearby
			end
		end
	]]></onLoad>

Can i enter in my profile that I would like to, say, start a particular waypoint (in the part where I can enter what I choose to do if an elite is detected)? This would have me run away, back to beginning of a loop, thus avoiding the elite?

And if I use Rocks suggestion, do I still change my waypoint to include 'elite'?

If I understand you correctly, yes, you can put

Code: Select all

			if mob then
			   loadPaths("escapefile") -- put what you want to do here if elite nearby
			end

And if I use Rocks suggestion, do I still change my waypoint to include 'elite'?

Yes you would still need to add "elite()" to the waypoints where you want to check for the boss.

[whome]

When i put 'elite()' at the end of each waypoint i want to check I get error message "We can't find your waypoint file 'C:/program Files etc etc/scripts/rom/waypoints/myfile.xml'. Please create a valid waypoint file within the 'waypoints folder blah blah.

What am I doing wrong??

Because I wanted it to go back to waypoint one, I ask it to load that file 'Ostriches', which it tries to load even when an elite is not present. At least thats what I think it is doing.....

OK, think I messed up and typed 'elites()' instead of 'elite()' - anyway, changed that and now get this error.....

"[string " elite() "]:1: attempt to call global 'elite' (a nil value)"

EDIT: Changed back to 'elites() and now it just loops without moving to second waypoint.....?

[rock5]

Something I think I should point out is when you load a waypoint file it doesn't necessarily start at waypoint 1. It starts at the closest waypoint.

If the file you are trying to load is the file itself, you could just use

Code: Select all

__WPL:setWaypointIndex(1)

to make it go to waypoint 1.

[whome]

SSooo, this isn't working? Gosh darnit.....

It loops and won't progress past the first waypoint.

[rock5]

loadPaths("_WPL:setWaypointIndex(1));

Besides being wrong there is definately a syntax error there. Try this instead

Code: Select all

_WPL:setWaypointIndex(1)

If it could move to the beginning of the waypoint as in #1, it would effectively run away from the elite. Leaving it load the path as I first tried would have it simply find the nearest waypoint (as suggested by Rock) and would be no good at all...... sorry for all the trouble guys

[rock5]

Do the mobs around you have 4 x your hp?

Try adding this line to the elites() function after the "if mob then"

Code: Select all

print("Running away from "..(mob.Name or "<no name>"))
