get mob id

[beanybabe]

I now how to use tooltip to get id but im wondering how to get it in a wp.

This is my current code. This only hunts the theMob I want to change it so it will hunt the nearest mob or a mobs you have aggro on.

Code: Select all

theMob = 123456         -- I need something to get this number from the nearest mob 
changeProfileOption("MAX_TARGET_DIST", 250)
changeProfileOption("COMBAT_DISTANCE", 250)
repeat 
	player:target_NPC(theMob)
	if player:haveTarget() then
		--  buffs and such here
		player:fight()
	end
	yrest(200)
until hellfreezesover

-----------------------


I tried to use theMob = local atheMob = player:findEnemy(aggroOnly, _id, evalFunc, ignore)
but that puts some hex number not the mobid

Anyone have a idea how to do this? Also is there a way so if bot is paused and unpaused it can be set to locate mob id again?

Try using this as a function in your onload section. It will return the ID of the closest mob so you can act on it as you see fit.

Disclaimer: Sections of this were borrowed from BlubBlab's waypoint file: Lyliya's Magic House.

Code: Select all

--==[ Function to return ID of target mob. Will attempt to target nearest mob if none already selected. ]==--
function getTargetMobId()
	repeat
		local target = nil
		player:updateBattling()
		player:updateTargetPtr()
		if player.TargetPtr ~= 0 then
			target = CPawn.new(player.TargetPtr)
			target:updateType()
			if target.Type == PT_MONSTER and target:isAlive() == true then
				target:updateXYZ()
				print("Mob found! ("..target.Id..")")
				local angle = math.atan2(target.Z - player.Z, target.X - player.X);
				local yangle = math.atan2(target.Y - player.Y, ((target.X - player.X)^2 + (target.Z - player.Z)^2)^.5 );
				player:faceDirection(angle, yangle);
				camera:setRotation(angle);
				return(target.Id)
			end
		else
			print("Tring to find a target...")
			RoMScript("TargetNearestEnemy()")
		end
	until hellfreezesover
end

bill the way you have it it will find any mob.

I am trying to make it only target 1 mob so this bit of code needs to be replaced

Code: Select all

theMob = 123456   

with something that looks for agro or the nearist mobs and gets its id

I tried this:

Code: Select all

theMob = player:findEnemy(aggroOnly, _id, evalFunc, ignore)

but it is not giving the id it gets some hex looking value.

[Bill D Cat]

My code will either report the ID of the currently targeted mob, or if you have no target it will find the nearest mob and target it and return that ID.

As for the hex value, I think it is actually returning a pointer to a table. You could try checking the value of theMob.Id to see if that is what you want.

[beanybabe]

It took me a few tries finally got it working.

[beanybabe]

Here is sort of what I am trying to do next I need to set a start point and have it not wander off to far looking for mobs.

Code: Select all

function getTargetMobId()
    repeat
		local target = nil
		player:updateBattling()
		player:updateTargetPtr()
		if player.TargetPtr ~= 0 then
			target = CPawn.new(player.TargetPtr)
			target:updateType()
        if target.Type == PT_MONSTER and target:isAlive() == true then
            target:updateXYZ()
            print("Mob found! ("..target.Id..")")
            local angle = math.atan2(target.Z - player.Z, target.X - player.X);
            local yangle = math.atan2(target.Y - player.Y, ((target.X - player.X)^2 + (target.Z - player.Z)^2)^.5 );
            player:faceDirection(angle, yangle);
            camera:setRotation(angle);
            return(target.Id)
         end
      else
         print("Tring to find a target...")
      end
    until hellfreezesover
end

maddness Why is loot not working?

[beanybabe]

Something is wrong I am using basically same code I have seen in other way points but this is not looting. I tried player:loot() player:lootAll() player:loot(target) anyone have any idea. This is a problem as it just sits at the dead mob and will not go on to fight another till it disappears.

basicly this wp is

target = mobid
attack target
loot target but it is not looting.

[Bill D Cat]

If player:loot() doesn't work, you could try using Attack() instead. Basically the same function as targeting a dead mob and hitting the 1 key (default settings) to loot.

[beanybabe]

Ok Ill give that a try, I had about gave up on getting this auto way-point to work and just created a path. If this works it will make for a nice wp to level weapons and gather items and tp. This is an attempt to rewrite the weapon leveling wp and making it more useful.
