Cant find certain NPCs

[RicalEyl]

My bot sometimes cant find NPCs even if he stands directly in front of them. How can I fix that?

e.g. I use: player:target_Object("Marliss-Schwester"); and the bot says: Cant find the NPC Marliss-Schwester.
I have tried everything and have no Idea anymore.

The funny thing is: Sometimes when I start the bot it works for the first time but not anymore the second time the bot runs the exactly same script.

'-' has a special meaning when the bot compares strings so it doesn't work.

Just replace any special characters with '.' and it should work ('.' means it will match any character).

ty works fine now:)

Don't forget you don't need to have the NPC full name

Code: Select all

player:target_NPC("Marliss");

that would also work

About string stuff ... Can you use all the regexp metacharacters for matching names in profile/waypoints ? Thinking about ^ and $ to make sure the bot only checks the the desired item/buff and not for a slightly different one ? (like "Wave Armor" and "Wave Armor Ineffective")

You should be able to. Try "^Wave Armor$" and see if it works.
