How to use pulling

#1 Post by romaniac »

I'm trying to set up a melee char for pulling, but I cannot get it to work.

Settings are
<option name="COMBAT_TYPE" value="melee" />
<option name="COMBAT_RANGED_PULL" value="true" />
<option name="COMBAT_DISTANCE" value="50" />

There is a working ranged weapon, set to pullonly="true". But the bot never uses it to pull. It always walks up to close distance before attacking. Sometimes it shoots the ranged weapon at point blank range, most of the time it attacks with melee skills.

How do you get it to pull with the ranged weapon at long range?

Have you tried a bigger value for COMBAT_DISTANCE?

also it helps if you put your skill in the profile with pullonly=true
so that it knows what skill to use on pull

Yes. If I do that, the bot just stops at long range and uses only ranged attacks.

I thinks that the same issue as currently discussed in the "stop running" topic.

Which is what it's supposed to do. I believe it waits up to 3 seconds before moving to melee distance. Doesn't it move closer after 3 seconds?
