When I run a waypoint file it gives me a message about which waypoint is closest and executes it before moving on to next in file as expected.

Loaded waypoint path tt.xml
No return path with default naming tt_return.xml found.
We use the normal waypoint path tt.xml now.
Waypoint #2 is closer then #1. Hence we start with waypoint #2.
Moving to waypoint #2, (65, 60)
WP 2
Moving to waypoint #3, (-47, 62)
WP 3
Moving to waypoint #4, (-51, 13)
WP 4
Moving to waypoint #1, (10, 11)
The game client did not crash.
3:25pm - Script forcibly terminated.

But, if I set reverse execution in onload section the same message gets written and it skips two waypoints before executing.

Loaded waypoint path tt.xml
No return path with default naming tt_return.xml found.
We use the normal waypoint path tt.xml now.
Waypoint #2 is closer then #1. Hence we start with waypoint #2.
Moving to waypoint #4, (-51, 13)
WP 4
Moving to waypoint #3, (-47, 62)
WP 3
Moving to waypoint #2, (65, 60)
The game client did not crash.
3:23pm - Script forcibly terminated.

In this last execution I expected the execution order to be 2, 1, 4, 3...

The waypoint file I tested with is as below, just a simple square in house:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints>
	<onLoad>
		__WPL:setDirection(WPT_BACKWARD)  -- With or without this one in tests
	</onLoad>
	
	<!-- #  1 --><waypoint x="10" z="11" y="0">print("WP 1")</waypoint>
	<!-- #  2 --><waypoint x="65" z="60" y="0">print("WP 2")</waypoint>
	<!-- #  3 --><waypoint x="-47" z="62" y="0">print("WP 3")</waypoint>
	<!-- #  4 --><waypoint x="-51" z="13" y="0">print("WP 4")</waypoint>
</waypoints>

I'm not sure if this is as designed or a bug?

Best regards

I think the problem is that you're setting the bot up to fail by using almost equidistant rectangles. Everything i've ever seen is in lines.

Na, this is just a small waypoint where I've isolated the bug - I seen this issue in big waypoints where points are way apart.

The function is working the way it's supposed to. The problem you are having is because you are using it in the onload.

Usually, if you change direction at a waypoint, this is what happens
1. You arrive at the waypoint, eg. wp #2.
2. Before it executes the code in the waypoint it sets the next waypoint it's going to go to, in this case wp #3.
3. When you change direction, because you are already at wp#2, instead of going to 3 you want to go to 1.

See, it has to minus 2 from the current 'next' waypoint.

This causes a problem in the onload. There is probably more than one way to deal with this. The easiest I can think of is just to re-set the next waypoint after the reverse.

Code: Select all

__WPL:setWaypointIndex(__WPL:getNearestWaypoint(player.X,player.Z,playter.Y))

Great, thx Rock

P.S. Works as a charm with the re-set the next waypoint code.
