request to make default skills overridable

[botje]

Would it be possible to make the skills database overridable with a user file?

now, everytime we have a update, we have to re-edit the file again, so i thought, maybe you could do a small check in the bot to see if for e.g. user_skills.xml exists, and use that instead?

that way bot is still updated, and we keep our modifications.

just a thought ^^

You should be able to. Here's an example of something that should work for modifying a skill:

Code: Select all

settings.profile.skills.SKILL_SKILLNAME.AutoUse = false;

If a skill doesn't exist (that is, you want to add, not modify), you would do this:

Code: Select all

local skill = CSkill();
skill.Id = 12345;
skill.Mana = 25;
skill.Range = 150;
skill.hotkey = VK_6;
-- You get the point. Set all of the important attributes.

settings.profile.skills.SKILL_SKILLNAME = skill;

its actually more for modifying the warrior skills, they have no casttime, which makes my character walk while casting it, i want to make it have 1 sec casttime, so it stops.

how would i do that then?

changeProfileSkill(_skill, _option, _value)

Code: Select all

changeProfileSkill("WARRIOR_OPEN_FLANK", "cooldown", "1")

I had a quick look in skills database, only 1 non elite skill doesnt have a cooldown, 9 elite skills don't have a cooldown.

Missread your post, you want to add a casttime?
not sure what that would do exactly.
you can always just try having casttime instead of cooldown in the code i posted. Not sure if bot will look for a casting bar though.

but i know exactly what it will do

it will stop my character from running into stuff, which gets me stuck everytime ^^

you could always just do a yrest onpreskillcast in your profile.

Yeah I just meant not sure how the bot will react to you telling it there is a cast time when there isn't.

just added it, seems to work just fine.

ill let ya know if something is up ^^

I have to do the same thing with my S/K elite Healing Shot. Without adding a cast time my character continues to run while casting the skill. This always results in my character running in a straight line regardless of the waypoints in my file which usually gets me stuck or falling off cliffs.
