it doesn't have any more args?
Generally when I see a function that returns icon first there is usally a few more args after it.

While testing the chest code that Lisa gave me (which it seems I didn't put in right, got a "failed to compile" error) I ran across an aggro issue. While checking for the candle in the center room today, I got to the 3rd location, located the candle and dropped to collect it. This seems to be a very narrow window for aggro spot it seems. Guess I'll have to do a little more fine tuning on coordinates to avoid this problem. I'll update when I can get it fixed.

Doesn't this effectively disable all skills? You could just disable them all in the waypoint onload. That way a user doesn't need to set anything up.

Code: Select all

for k,v in pairs(settings.profile.skills) do
      v.AutoUse = false
end

How to disable all skills except healing ones? Or disable particular skill from mage.

You obviously need it for something else because the healing skills don't work in this minigame.

To disable all skills except healing skill then use this

Code: Select all

for k,v in pairs(settings.profile.skills) do
      if v.Type ~= STYPE_HEAL and v.Type ~= STYPE_HOT then
            v.AutoUse = false
      end
end

To change individual skills use
changeProfileSkill(_skill, _option, _value)
Eg.

Code: Select all

changeProfileSkill("ROGUE_SHADOWSTAB", "AutoUse", true)

The trick is to find the correct option name. Most of them get capitalized when loaded.

Thank you:)
Yes, it's for something else - running with mount. My character just cast buffs (like MAGE_INTENSIFICATION) when got aggro, even with TRAVEL waypoints (I think), and continue running (dismounted already) with those useless buffs.
You can move this message as it's unrelated to Ancient Treasures, sorry:)

Actually I think that is a bug that needs to be fixed. I'll have a look.

Ok, there is only one reference to the checkskills function in the player:moveTo.

Code: Select all

		-- while moving without target: check potions / friendly skills
		if( self:checkPotions() or self:checkSkills(ONLY_FRIENDLY) ) then	-- only cast friendly spells to ourselfe

So basically what I think I will do is, skip these if mounted and in travel mode or if mounted and in run mode and not battling. So

Code: Select all

		-- while moving without target: check potions / friendly skills
		if not (player.Mounted and __WPL.Type == WPT_TRAVEL) and not (player.Mounted and __WPL.Type == WPL_RUN and not player.Battling) then
			if( self:checkPotions() or self:checkSkills(ONLY_FRIENDLY) ) then	-- only cast friendly spells to ourselfe

How does that sound?

So many "not"

ok let me see if I understand it properly

Code: Select all

 not (player.Mounted and __WPL.Type == WPT_TRAVEL)

So only if both are not at the same time.
so not mounted and wp type isn't travel

Code: Select all

not (player.Mounted and __WPL.Type == WPL_RUN and not player.Battling)

so player battling since double nengative?

so not mounted and also not wp type run and also player battling (in combat).

I am thinking it should be an or between them

Code: Select all

if not (player.Mounted and __WPL.Type == WPT_TRAVEL) or not (player.Mounted and __WPL.Type == WPL_RUN and not player.Battling) then

Little confusing with so many not but it should do the trick.

Yeh basically, if its type travel and mounted we don't want to cast. So we do want to cast if "not (type travel and mounted)". Also we dont want it to cast if type is run and mounted but only if not in combat, so we do want it to cast if "not (type is run and mount and not in combat)".

Finally, if either of those are true then we dont want to cast. But we do want to cast if "not (type travel and mounted) and not (type is run and mount and not in combat)". Because if either of those is true then we wouldn't want it to cast.

I think that's right. I can get confused too. It probably would have been easier to write

Code: Select all

if  (type travel and mounted) or  (type is run and mount and not in combat) then
    nothing
else
    check skills and potions.
end

Problem is I don't really want to test it. Anyone want to test it? cufRet8e do you want to test it?

What exactly you wan't me to paste between my waypoints, or which files to modify?

Just had a thought, you wouldn't want to cast skills when mounted even if the type = normal. So it may be as simple as

Code: Select all

if not player.Mounted or (__WPL.Type ~= WPT_TRAVEL and player.Battling) then
    check skills and potions
end

I just did a little test. It still dismounts and it;s not because the logic is wrong. I think this might be harder than we thought because checkskills is run in a few different places.

Is there any reason we can't put the check for mounted right in the skill:canUse function? Then we could just add somewhere.

Code: Select all

	-- Is player mounted
	if player.Mounted then
		if __WPL.Type == WPL_TRAVEL or not player.Battling then
			return false
		end
	end

Ok cufRet8e, try this. In "skill.lua" at around line 172, just before

Code: Select all

	-- Is player level more than or equal to aslevel

add the code just above.

Tested. Not working at the moment.
I inserted code as you said, to 172 line of classes\skill.lua:

Code: Select all

   -- Is player mounted
   if player.Mounted then
      if __WPL.Type == WPL_TRAVEL or not player.Battling then
         return false
      end
   end

Loaded rombot with Default profile, I created simple waypoint file with about 20 WPs, and this code in one of them:

Code: Select all

__WPL:setForcedWaypointType("TRAVEL")
useGoodie(***); <-- rock5, is any better way to get char mounted? :) I'm using mount ID atm. -->
yrest(5000);

So characted get mounted and start running in TRAVEL mode.

That's annoying. setForcedWaypointType doesn't change the Type it only changes the ForcedType of the waypoints. Let me have a look at it.

Re: Ancient Treasures waypoint

Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2011 8:24 am

by rock5

No it's ok. When it finds the next waypoint it changes the Type to equal the Forced Type.

I see the problem. You can always count on me to include a typo. It should be "WPT_TRAVEL" not "WPL_TRAVEL". Change That and see if it works.

So the code I put in to player:checkskills isn't working?

Code: Select all

if settings.profile.options.DISMOUNT == false and player.Mounted then return false end

just have

Code: Select all

<option name="DISMOUNT"		value="false" />

in your profile and it shouldn't use skills while mounted.

Re: Ancient Treasures waypoint

I see them as being 2 different things. I think by default that it shouldn't try to use skills when mounted if you've set the waypoint type to travel. And if it isn't waypoint type travel then it should not dismount to cast skills unless aggroed. I don't think users should have to set a setting when it should behave this way.

With these default behaviours most people wont need to use your setting. I think it would mainly be useful if users want to override the default waypoint type behavior, ie. if the user wants it not to dismount regardless of waypoint type.

Changed in skill.lua:

Code: Select all

if __WPL.Type == WPT_TRAVEL or not player.Battling then

Is that correct?
Because it have no difference, in situation like this (I wrote in again, just to clarify):

running mounted, TRAVEL mode
got aggro from mob
cast MAGE_INTENSIFICATION etc.
got dismounted because of casting
said in terminal window, that it's not going to fight because of TRAVEL mode
continue walking without harm enemies

Where I should put this code with "if"? Because simply adding DISMOUNT to false does not change anything.

Is it possible you have intensification in your onPreSkillCast section of your waypoint?

Re: Ancient Treasures waypoint

Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2011 9:36 am

by lisa

it still used the skill while mounted and profile option DISMOUNT was set to false??

That isn't right.

There must be something else casting those buffs and not the usual bot checking skills.
