Waypoint script

[kylebutler]

Ok so i have set up a waypoint file, and i looked at it but it does not have a green check mark on it. is this why the profile jsut wanders instead of going to the waypoints?

It's not going to get a green checkmark. It's an unversioned file that is not part of the bot scripts provided for you. It's your own creation.

If you're having a problem with your profile and/or waypoints, don't you think it might be wise to provide your profile and/or waypoints?

Sorry i was hoping it was something simple.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints>
<!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="1794" z="3359"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="1611" z="3341"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 3 --><waypoint x="1559" z="3417"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 4 --><waypoint x="1504" z="3481"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 5 --><waypoint x="1423" z="3508"> </waypoint>

<!-- # 9 --><waypoint x="1104" z="3720"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 10 --><waypoint x="1190" z="3816"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 11 --><waypoint x="1296" z="3862"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 12 --><waypoint x="1429" z="3905"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 13 --><waypoint x="1399" z="3982"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 14 --><waypoint x="1423" z="4086"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 15 --><waypoint x="1492" z="4135"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 16 --><waypoint x="1595" z="4145"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 17 --><waypoint x="1724" z="4142"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 18 --><waypoint x="1800" z="4094"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 19 --><waypoint x="1835" z="4001"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 20 --><waypoint x="1768" z="3891"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 21 --><waypoint x="1700" z="3833"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 22 --><waypoint x="1694" z="3738"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 23 --><waypoint x="1644" z="3639"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 24 --><waypoint x="1687" z="3557"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 25 --><waypoint x="1717" z="3432"> </waypoint>
</waypoints>


now the thing is, it follows the 'area' the waypoints are in but constantly says going for waypoint 1 or 25 and never changes, i leave for maybe 1 hr and the character is in a completely different location killing completely different mobs.

Code: Select all

<option name="WAYPOINTS"		value="CEEK_GATHER_1.xml" />  <!-- leave empty to show a list -->
		<option name="RETURNPATH"		value="" />
		<option name="PATH_TYPE"		value="waypoints" />	<!-- waypoints | wander -->
		<option name="WANDER_RADIUS"		value="500" />
		<option name="WAYPOINT_DEVIATION"	value="0" />
		<option name="QUICK_TURN" 		value="true" />

Make sure you have it set in a similar fashion. Obviously your waypoint path will be different. Take careful note of PATH_TYPE. Sounds like you have it set to wander.

I'm still new to adding script and stuff. I used the createpath.bat i was under the impression that was all you had to do.. so there is more to it than that?

[kylebutler]

i got it to work but now it runs the waypoints and after it get to the last one, it wanders how do i make it loop

all you have todo is to pt the last waypoint next to the first, he goes from last back to first and continues.

[kylebutler]

Sorry but what is pt? paste?

this is my current script.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints>
<!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="3454" z="9481"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="3329" z="9498"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 3 --><waypoint x="3168" z="9527"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 4 --><waypoint x="3099" z="9625"> </waypoint>

<!-- # 21 --><waypoint x="3659" z="9561"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 22 --><waypoint x="3646" z="9468"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 23 --><waypoint x="3597" z="9391"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 24 --><waypoint x="3530" z="9349"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 25 --><waypoint x="3451" z="9344"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 26 --><waypoint x="3381" z="9380">load_paths("runes.xml") </waypoint>
</waypoints>

how exactly would i make it continue to the 1st waypoint?

also for some reason the bot wanders to a location with extremely dangerous mobs is there any way to blacklist these mobs so my bot avoids it?

[jduartedj]

sorry I meant "put".

if you remove the loadPath code in WP #26, it'll go from #26 to #1, so place #26 not too far from #1 and you got a loop.

Edit:

how exactly would i make it continue to the 1st waypoint?

It's default if you don't have anything that breaks it like loadPath.

[jduartedj]

BTW: use "loadPaths()" instead! load_paths is deprecated.

[kylebutler]

ok so my new script is like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints>
<!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="3532" z="9401"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="3355" z="9437"> </waypoint>
....
<!-- # 63 --><waypoint x="3679" z="9466"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 64 --><waypoint x="3539" z="9411"> </waypoint>
</waypoints>

edit: i ran it and it just says "moving to #1" but is nowhere near waypoint 1 or moving toward it... it just wanders..

[jduartedj]

there must be something wrong woth your bot configuration. he defaults to looping the document. you can try adding loadPaths("myfile"); where myfile is the same file that you are using so its starts it self from the beginning!

adding it at last WP. (#64 in ur case)

[kylebutler]

Ok i'll try that and get back to you. i sent you a PM of my profile config. maybe you can see if there is something wrong?

[jduartedj]

Now I've answered you, and again... c'mon.... 10.000 ! This is why it was wandering out of it's waypoints in first place!

Code: Select all

<option name="MAX_TARGET_DIST" value="10000" />

[kylebutler]

haha i had no idea. i have my profile on the default settings

[Douky]

ok so my new script is like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints>
<!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="3532" z="9401"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="3355" z="9437"> </waypoint>
....
<!-- # 63 --><waypoint x="3679" z="9466"> </waypoint>
<!-- # 64 --><waypoint x="3539" z="9411"> </waypoint>
</waypoints>

try this:

Code: Select all

<!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="3532" z="9401" tag="start"> </waypoint>
.
.
.
.
<!-- # 64 --><waypoint x="3539" z="9411">__WPL:setWaypointIndex(__WPL:findWaypointTag("start")); </waypoint>

Edit:
oops...
