Mount Movement Problem: strange behaivor

[d003232]

I couldn't find the post where we shortly discussed about.

I did some debuging and try to compare the behaivor with mount and without. Without everything is ok in player:moveto(). But if I use the mount, it seems as

Code: Select all

self:faceDirection(angle);

did not work anymore. It seems as it will be reseted !!?? The camera view jumps around ...

I did a 'self:faceDirection(angle)', print out the 'self.Direction', wait for 1000 ms, and print out the 'self.Direction' again and the value is changed back to the old value/direction???

Code: Select all

cprintf(cli.turquoise, "vor Korrektur 02: um angle %s, von self.dir %s\n",angle,self.Direction);
self:faceDirection(angle);
camera:setRotation(angle);
self:update();
cprintf(cli.turquoise, "nach Korrektur 02a:  Angle %s, self.dir %s\n",angle,self.Direction);
yrest(1000);
self:update();
cprintf(cli.turquoise, "nach Korrektur 02b:  Angle %s, self.dir %s\n",angle,self.Direction);
self:faceDirection(angle);
camera:setRotation(angle);
self:update();	
cprintf(cli.turquoise, "nach Korrektur 02c:  Angle %s, self.dir %s\n",angle,self.Direction);

that gave the output:

Code: Select all

vor Korrektur 02: um angle -1.2409520034654, von self.dir 2.2327116241782
nach Korrektur 02a:  Angle -1.2409520034654, self.dir -1.2409520011077
nach Korrektur 02b:  Angle -1.2409520034654, self.dir 2.2327116241782
nach Korrektur 02c:  Angle -1.2409520034654, self.dir -1.2409520011077

I don't know what to do?

That is very strange. There really is no logical reason for this. The only thing I can think of is that it must be a bug in the game client; not the bot. One thing to try would be to try using RoMScript() to call the API function to move/rotate the camera. Do you know what the function(s) are, offhand?

I suppose the addresses

Code: Select all

	memoryWriteFloat(getProc(), self.Address + addresses.pawnDirXUVec_offset, Vec1);
	memoryWriteFloat(getProc(), self.Address + addresses.pawnDirYUVec_offset, Vec2);

are not the right if one is mounted? If we write at that adresses and do a update directly after that, self.direction is ok. If we do a player:update() 20ms later, and check the self.direction again, the values are been set back to the old values.

I did not test it with the API function

Code: Select all

SetCameraPosition(x,y,z)

But I would suppose it will work. But that's only the camera position, not the movement direction? I will look for that and try it later.

Is this the reason my script that runs back and forth for my dailyquest gets confused and off track running into objects when I have them on their mount?

For now I've just not been using my mount, when I run my dailyquest scripts, but a couple of them are long paths and a mount would definitely get the job done faster when you got to run back and forth 10 times a day per character.

I really wish this would get fixed. It really needs to be.

Here are the symptoms I've noticed when mounted.
- Getting off track when running because the camera angle changes but the character angle changes only sporadically.
- Jerky movement while running ie. left, right, forward and back. Yes, sometimes even back.
- Sometimes, when running, it will stop, jerk left and right a few times then do an unstick routine even though there was nothing blocking it.
- Failure to target NPCs. When turning to search for an NPC, it turns twice then fails to turn anymore so fails to find the NPC. Because of this I have to dismount before targeting any NPCs.
